Above is the link for my LibraryThing. It's not pretty. I thought there was a nicer way to attach the link, but I haven't figured it out yet.

I have my account set up with LibraryThing, but I have'nt entered any books yet. I'm due back on the desk in 5 minutes so I'll have to come back to it later. My plan is to use LibraryThing to keep track of books I have read. Since I'm not really a book buyer, I probably wouldn't have many to put on, so I think creating a list of books I have read is a better option for me.

Week 5 Thing 10

Wow! What a cool thing to play with. I really liked creating my own avatar. I had fun picking out the different things to wear and the various pets you can have. Picking out the backround was hard - there are so many.

Now I'm going to see if I can put my avatar into some kind of graphic or photo.

Week 4 thing 9

Tonight I checked out Merlin. It took me several tries and the help from Christina to paste the RSS link into my newsreader. I'm not sure if I'm even using the correct lingo. Anyway, I was able to find my way back to my newsreader page on yahoo after I logged in - that was a good thing since I was worried about it.

So far I see Merlin as a way to ask questions and get a forum going. At this point, I don't see a use for it for me just yet. I'll keep checking it out though and see what else it offers.

Week 4, thing 8

Wow! I found a Muppets podcast. I added it to my Bloglines newsreader on Yahoo. I also signed up for the Library Journal newsreader and a scrapbooking newsreader. It took me a while to figure out how to do it and honestly, I'm not quite sure how to get back to my yahoo page where my newsreaders are located.

I'm listening to the Muppet podcast right now - it is truly amazing.

Hopefully this will be a fun way to get news on library stuff, scrapbooking and the Muppets.

Week 3 Thing 5, 6 & 7

OK, Robin worked with me and I got the trading card posted. It's on the site and not with the text, but at least I got it there. I learned that I have to go to template and then to page element to add a graphic to the blog.


Take 2

Hopefully this one will post correctly. I'm trying to attach a charcater I created on the M & M site, but it is not working properly.

Anyhow, I looked at flicker mashups and 3rd party sites. Not wanting to post a photo of myself, I decided to create a character on the M & M site and post it instead. I also used it for my trading card.
