Week 5 # 10

Week 5 # 10 -avatar

I played around with the avatars and came up with a gardener outfit and put it in a fall garden setting with a scarecrow. All my avatar does is blink her eyes [allergies?]

This is the link to my creation.

Week 5 #12 - Library Elf exercise

I signed up for Library Elf and opted to receive email notices 3 days in advance for items about to be due back. This seems mostly like what I already receive from HCPL, but I did it anyway.

Week 5 # 10/#11 Library Thing exercise

I decided to work ahead a bit because I'll be on vacation next week [week 5.]
I enjoyed reading about Library Thing and the possibilities it offers people with their own private libraries. I even emailed the site to one of our customers who keeps exhaustive lists and notes of all the various series she's read and planns to read. She also has a large paperback library of her own. I thought Library Thing might help her keep track of everything.

I signed on and added the first titles of several of the series I've enjoyed reading and always recommend. http://www.librarything.com/addbooks

Week 4 #9

I looked at the sites mentioned in the exercise, but only found interesting links on bloglines and Feedster. Bloglines led me to a link about backyard birds. I tried "cottage gardens" on bloglines and Feedster, but nothing was available. I broadened the search to "garden" and found a link on Feedster. I added both of the rss links to my bloglines account. When I typed in "cottage garden" on Feedster it brought up a list of restaurants. I don't know what that was about. I'm surprised there aren't any rss links to cottage garden.

Week 4 #8 RSS feeds

It took awhile, but I was able to add about 12 RSS feeds to my blogline account. I couldn't find anything about gardening, but managed to find a couple of ferret-related feeds. I also subscribed to a cat , joke-of-the-day and librarian feeds. A lot of subjects I looked up and attempted to add were a dead end, saying there were no rss feeds for the subject.
