Blog Blog Blogging

I am getting quite adept at blogging - I am currently maintaining the Macquarie Regional Library Youth Blog - mrlyablog - here's the link if anyone would like to check it out...

Learning 2.0

I should probably finish of Learning 2.0. I did get up to Week 7, but then short staffing and a very busy library distracted me.

So I am now familiar with:

Blogging
Flickr etc
RSS
Wikipedia and other wikis
Video online
Tagging, Delicious etc

I will now continue from Week 8...

Time goes by...


At last... a blogging opportunity. And to think people think libraries are quiet places! Next person who tells me how nice it must be to sit and read books all day will die a painful and inventive death!! (Not actually a homicidal maniac - really). Have become quite obsessed by orchids recently - please see pic. Now have 28 and soon will run out of space.

Maiden Voyage


'Blogs are cute, blogs are beaut, blogs are soft and curly'.... with apologies to Bob the Kelpie


Making a blog appears to be quite simple, but choosing a name and a template, far too much decision making!

I am very excited about the Web 2.0 training and am waiting with bated breath for the next training modules. I am a compulsive learner and hate not to know things. I hope that does'nt sound too teacher's-pet. I hope that the other participants are equally as enthralled (muffled curses from background) er, perhaps not. It is a good thing to be able to self-pace.
The Stephen Fry interview was very interesting, also realised that he is the one who reads the Harry Potter talking books. Very relaxing voice (you are getting very sleepy...).
