THING 23-COMPLETE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yaaaaaaay. I'm done! What a ride this has been. Great learning opportunity! I feel like I know a little about alot but know where to go to find out more. An organization I'm involved with has started a Web Blog and I volunteered to keep it up. This is through the University of Minnesota they use Moveable Type. I'm confident I will have no trouble figuring that out. I did most of the work at home but it was hard as high speed internet is not available deep in the woods where I live. It was hard to find the time to work on it at work. I did manage to watch the videos at work. Was a real problem for people without computers at home.
Also a winter session would be great as its hard to give up our summer time outside to work on this. Thanks so much for the chance to do this. I will sign up if you come up with more Things.

THING 22-complete

I looked through the Library web blogs. I set up a RSS feed on Dangeroulsy Irrelevant
on my Google reader. This one was on educational gaming and it gave me a new perspective on it. I hope to maintain my blog as I plan on going back to the things I was really interested in and learn more. If I don't use these things I will forget them. This was great fun!

THING 21-complete

I read the articles. Joined 23 Things on a stick Ning and left comments for another member . Uploaded a video to my blog and added a ning widget to my blog.
I looked at 43 things and good reads. Both were interesting but I don't believe I have the time to use a social network unless it is specifically for my job. It was interesting to see how many people are involved in them and all the different topics covered. The courses on Web Junction looked good. May try one of them at a future date.

THING 19-complete

I looked at the directories and ended up on Podcast.com Listened to some of the mp3 podcasts on Memoirs for Schoo Library Media.I added a RSS feed to my Google reader. That is cool. It is on Morbidity and mortality wally report.Looked at "John supplies our worm bins". "Ha Ha Food and Drink vodcasts. and "diabetic feed". Alot of good podcasts and some awful ones. Took the tour on Gcast. That looks way too easy. Had a time getting this one done as High speed internet is not available where i live deep in the woods.

THING 20-complete

I registered on facebook and sent an invite to 3 friends. I got back 2 (both my nieces). I completed a profile and joined 23 things group. Posted one wall. I also visited MySpace to check kit out . Looked around and found a few people I knew. The library pages were interesting. I can see how the teens would be interested in using it. I cant imagine using these myself but I wanted to see what all the kids are doing. I also checked back on my facebook and had one message.

Thing 18-complete

I explored both YouTube and Google Video. I chose the video "Its a Library(joke)" to share on my blog because it was both funny and short. Its hard to see any lengthy ones with dial up.I got a chuckle out of alot of the videos which I watched at the library. This was a fun Thing.

THING 17-complete

I tried to set up an rss feed to my google reader with the new intructions but it kept coming back with a message try again in a few minutes. I do understand how to do it so I gave up after numerous trys. I set up a folder in Page composer. Made up a web page and added a url, picture and background with different colors. I created a web page in ProQuest Newsstand Complete followed thru and added publications and emailed them to myself. Saved it to my computer. NetLibrary was a challenge. I already have an account. I looked for the book "101 Ways to Promote your web site" and couldn't find it. After searching every way I could think of I viewed "Build a Data base the easy way" and put in "data base design" as the search term. Followed thru on the rest of instructions and have it in my "Favorites and notes.
Since I don't often do reference at our library I don't see myself using these often enough to get comfortable with. Ma by Net library If someone is looking for a particular book. This was very interesting and I can see it being a real help to doing a research project.
