Wiki mania

Well I have sort of skipped RSS feeds. I did attempt to set up but haven't quite understaood the process yet. I think I will come back to that another time.

Wikis , of course, are another matter, very easy to understand. I have always loved wikipedia (so easy to use), even though I know I should not use it a as preferred source. Today I discovered the full Library Success: a best practice wiki and spent quite a while browsing some great information.

Regarding my last post, I receive one very starnge comment. It seemed to be an advert for meat written in Portugese. I pasted the comment into Babel Fish and it seems to be an advert. Is this a common occurrence?

Mastering uploading photos... or not

Today, I managed to upload two photos to my blog. See my last post. It took quite a while to work out, but I managed. Unfortunately, I did not manage the correct placement of the photos with the text. It seems uless the images are directly related to what is already added to the blog, I should upload photos first and then add the text?
The two photos I used are in related to the June 8 storm in Newcastle. Now a year ago but still fresh in our memory. These two images show our Chrlestown Library which was damaged by fallen trees. One image shows the dent in the building caused by the tree. The other image shows an empty shelf. Books in this area were water damaged during the storwm. Did you notice that the damaged books were at the 551.5 Dewey number- on floods & storms! How bizarre.

.... Several months later

Well, despite my good intentions it has been too long sonce writing my last post. My excuse..... forgetting my passwords. Now that I have that sorted, hopefully no more excuses!.

Flickr..................

I have read Week 2's module on Flickr. I was impressed with Mossman Library's flickr images and really excited to find a great photo of my Library at Swansea Centre. Have a look -http://www.flickr.com/photos/sluggan/278790062/

How cool is that.

Next step uploading photos.

It's a start

Congratulations to NSW Public Libraries for this Learning 2.0 programme, and for making it so easy to participate. I'm sure that like many other library staff, I have wanted to explore the 2.0 world but always feel that I don't have enough time. Well, at 15 minutes a day, it certainly is achievable and isn't our own self development worth that small amount of time.

Now that I have started, I hope to continue with my commitment and look forward to learning a lot more.

Just one thing, why are all the good blog names taken!
