On A Lighter Note - Let's Take A Break

Meet Becky

I rescued her about 3 months ago.

Once abused and homeless. She is now safe, warm, very spoiled and pampered.


But don't you tell her.

Thing # 3 continued

Had a few snags along the way, but managed to muddle through.
Could not make my bloglines open to public viewing using “public/dlibrarian” in the address. However it did allow viewing of my public subscriptions when I used “blog/dlibrarian”

Wonder why??

23 Things

The use of RSS feeds grow more more everyday.

I feel it would be a great way for library customers to stay up to date with new services their library may provide. They could also subscribe to a particular subject area and receive info on new materials and programs in their area of choice.

But beware and not get carried away too adding to many feeds. It can be hard to keep up; often I was struck with information overload.

See an example of feed overload from my first bloglines account I created a couple of years ago. http://www.bloglines.com/public/cdixson



My new bloglines account is a lot more streamline.

Movin on Up

It is funny how many times I've posted to bloglines; and it never once occurred to me to learn how to create my own blog.

Back in 1974 when I became a librarian, the closest thing to a blog was the editorial section of a newspaper.

Well here it is!!


Join me in my learning adventure.


Hurray for progress ***************
