Blogging

My thoughts about using Bloglines is that it's a great place to explore the menu of what's available in the blogosphere. I liked technorati as a kind of universal commons for finding blogs to join. I am happy to have been able to publish my blogroll on my TLC blog. I want to find out how to make my bloglines public next. I had some trouble with finding out where to publish the unique URL for my bloglines.

Sorry, Debby B., but I deleted my previous blog entry when I discovered how to publish my blogroll. So your comment is gone. Thanks anyway for trying to help. Another learning habit I'd like to add is: Be tenacious with this stuff!

Haitian Art Display at NO Library





Here are a few photos of a Haitian Art exhibit that was done two years ago at our library.

Tree Frog



Tree frogs occupy my courtyard. They like to hide in glass containers so they can be heard much louder.

As for technology, I am going to start exploring RSS feeds for Week 3. I already subscribe to RSS feeds at work from the Washington Post's headline news and I was subscribing to the Palm Beach Post's stormwatch notification service. I have since cut back on it because I was getting 4 alerts a day and my Outlook email could not manage it all (a bit more information than I needed as well). The trick for me with RSS feeds is not in how many I subscribe to, but feeling comfortable with those I do have, and asking what content I could most benefit by.

I need to explore and see what others I could use here at work.

7 1/2 Habits


This is me in the middle with one of my brothers, Andy, and my mom. Here we are about to board one of Ft. Lauderdale's most fun boat rides, the Jungle Queen!

Since we're talking about 'play' and having fun, I thought I'd make it my mission to locate a few fun photos that caught my eye...More to come.

BCL TLC 2.0

Well, here we are! Another learning experience, and this one is the culmination of the Web 2.0 survey. I am hopeful that I will get to the next level and learn how to podcast!
