#11 Library thing

What a great product! I have only had a quick look but can already think of ways to use this- for example, as part of a book blog on the library website where patrons & staff could share their reading experiences, make recommendations, create booklists...the possibilities are endless.
The chiclet linking to my catalogue is on the right, but there are not many titles in it yet . I loved the widget, it was so easy to use & displays the selected titles so nicely. I'l be coming back to this one.

#10 Play around with image generators

These image generators are fun!

I have now added some shared items using google reader- I can go on to the next exercise at last! Found out you can also use google reader to create a feed from your blogs which displays next to the favourites icon in IE7, so I did that as well. It's time to move on....

Very interesting- the link takes you to my bloglines account but the blog feeds it lists are not mine! Hmmmmm.......there is a ghost in the machine. I'll think about it over the weekend but just now my head hurts

# 8 share my blogs

This is my last try! If you can't see my blogfeeds from this I give up!

# 8 Make life really simple with rss

This has been a very interesting exercise- quite hard at first but as I went on I could really see how I could use it
I also got the idea from a colleague's blog to use google reader & that worked very well! I was able to share items on my blog from the rss feeds to travel blogs that I set up in google reader very easily. This could be useful when working on a project with a team....but it's also fun reading about bars in Cologne & garlic festivals in Sweden.....
I think I will use google reader in preference to bloglines as it is so easy to import shared items into my blog with the automatic widget. Feedster is a disappointment, the little screen takes too long to load.
I need to explore more but there are lots of possibilities here for sharing info. I want to incorporate some rss feeds into our website as well
Plenty of food for thought!
