exercise 6

I made another postcard and I still can not get the link to work. I love FD FlickR Toys. I have made Movie Posters, Motivational Posters, and a few trading cards. Too bad I have no clue how to post them.

exercise 23

I really like this whole training thing!! I know I was frustrated with some things. (RSS and Tags)I know this will be the very last blog that I will ever do (well maybe I should not say ever). I glad I found FlickR and I will be using Zoho. There was so many cool things that I learned on here. Now I know what a Wiki is! Thanks for showing me Library Thing. I will be adding more books to the site. I am a big baby when it comes to training (a lot of whining and crying on my part). All we had to do at our library was one hour. Just pick one or two of the exercises and do them. Well, as you can see I finished them all. You asked if I would do more training like this? YES, this was so much fun!!!!!!

exercise 18

This is a pretty cool site. I could see how it would be the end of Microsoft Office. I am still waiting for my conformation email from them. I added a picture of my cat to my document. I hope that it will open when you click on it.

Ok I just tried clicking on my link and it will only take me to the sign on page, is that correct or did I mess up?

Ok, third times a charm. With the help of my fabulous boss. $6000.00 and 2 years was not wasted!!!! This was not easy. I did not know that you needed to make it public (should have guessed but I did not even see the public tab) I still did got get my confirmation email!

exercise 22

I checked out the sites. I know that we are trying to set up eBook and eAudiobooks for our library. I think this is wonderful. I had a patron ask about this over the winter. She is legally blind and she downloads them onto her mp3 player. She is a snowbird and her library back how had this plan. I love to read, to have that book in my grubby little hands is wonderful. I don't think anything could ever take its place. But, I do see the usefulness of this. My grandmother was losing her eyesight and would have loved to listen to more books, I love audio books in the car (my new car has hookup for an mp3 player, so I can download more books) Don't get me wrong, we have a great collection of books on CD, but funding is tight and if we get this program up and running we will have a lot of titles to choose from.

exercise 21

I used Yahoo Podcast because I have a hard time sending RSS to bloglines so I figured I would send them to my yahoo account. I typed in book reviews and found some cute Podcast. One was from a high school girl. Rachel Reviews. Cute Podcast. She reviews one book that she read, one that a friend suggested and one that is good for babysitting. I checked out the NPR Podcast, a little dry but interesting. I also check out a Disney one. I did not see the RSS button to add it to my Yahoo account.

exercise 20

I love YouTube!!!!
My hubby and I are always on here. We look up concerts we look up comedians and my all consuming passion DISNEY!!!!! I am such a Disney geek that I watch old fireworks from the Magic Kingdom. I also watch the Country Bear Jamboree and the Enchanted Tiki Room, I also ride the Pirates of the Caribbean whenever I feel little down. I will blog about the fireworks. My husband and I love Disney. It makes us feels like kids, we have no worries or responsibilities when we are there. We run around like 5 year-olds and ride all the rides. We stand in line to take our pictures with Mickey and eat carmel corn til it comes out our mouse ears. My hubby is deployed a lot so this is the one thing that we do for him to unwind. The fireworks are always a big deal at the end of the night. So when thing are a little stresses in the daily grind we come home to YouTube and watch the fireworks. Go ahead and call us dorks.

exercise 19

For this exercise I chose http://www.zillow.com/
I have used this site when I was shopping for my house. It came in handy when I was trying to narrow my choices down and also on making my bid. The site tells you the value of the home and it also give you the value of the homes around it. It will also tell you if any of the homes in the area were recently sold and for how much. There are a couple of draw backs. Some times the developments are too new and the house will not show up on the map. Sometimes they will have the information right but not the right picture, not a big deal but a little frustrating. I have shown patrons at the library this site. (We get a lot of people looking for houses)
