At last!! This has been a remarkable journey and I have learned and explored many interesting things (at least 23!)and I am so glad that I have had the chance to do this. I could not however have done it nearly as well or as completely without the help of Cristina, Michael and especially Shirley who took time out today to help me considerably so that I could complete the 23 things in the time that I have left to me to complete the task. Thank you Shirley!!!
Now it seems that I should do 1 more thing and that is learn how to use the mp3 player which is still languishing in the box at my house. Perhaps I will try loading the Wodehouse story in tolerable quality...for free from Gutenburg!

I went to Gutenberg and found an audio book that i would like to hear. It is Bertie Changes His Mind by P.G. Wodehouse. It seems that it is free if you would like bearable quality or tolerable quality. Now for reasonable quality it seems that there is a charge of $6, and for good quality that would be $7, and for very good quality well that would be $8. Maybe the library (hcl) will order it on cd and I can listen to the very best quality of all and for free!
It is interesting that they had so many free titles. I wonder had bad bearable quality really is?!

Almost finished! Thank goodness for Shirley who is helping me move things onto my blog. It's not intuitive at all. I located a podcast on yahoo podcasts by searching library story time. I got a site from the Liverpool library in New York that had songs and finger plays. I think that i subscribed to this and added it to my rss feeds. Shirley then helped me navigate the bloglines account and move my rss list to my blog. gasp!!!! I hope that i can remember how to do these things when I am done with this and actually have time to play around with it. I hope that the 23 things list with links will still be available.

I have explored Real Travel from the travel subject guide. This looks like a very good site with many blogs and postings offering photos and advice for the ahem...traveler. I searched Spain and was rewarded with tons of blogs and also a subject heading so that when I am ready to read, I can sort them by interest. I think I will look at hotel advice first.

I am testing this wood processor. Lets see how some of the different fonts look. I would like to be able.. woops that one is not too good. As I was saying, I would like to be able to transport this to my blog, however I have not been having much luck transporting things up to this point. I think that for a non-techie, moving things to the blog is difficult on most sites. I have bee lucky to have some help form co-workers. Shirley helped me put my mees on the blog. It looked so easy when she showed me how to do it. I think I just need more practice. Perhaps I will do 23 things again at my leasure, taking time to really learn the elements of all of this computer technology.

I am not an expert on wikis (ha!), however I did add to the HCL sandbox! I thought that the wiki from sjcpl (subject guide) was really interesting. I looked at the craft section and posted there were lots of new craft books with cover shots and sorted by type of craft. At the end there were instructions for a tee-shirt craft and a link to the craft programs provided at the library.
I did notice that spam and uninvited comments and edits were a problem on many of the wiki sites. I guess that you would have to carefully evaluate information garnered off of any of these sites. I do think that it is a great way to share info and i plan to spend more time in the future looking for wikis that have interest for me.

del.icio.us & technorati

wow, this is cool. I signed up for an rss all about making handbags (u-handbag) on del.icio.us. This will be a great reference for me to use. Technorati had very recent articles and some in particular on a health issue that i have been researching. the site is very easy to search. i did not attempt to add anything to my blog.

I created a library of 5 books, but for the life of me cannot figure how/where to copy and paste the html edit. i am afraid that i will wipe out all that i have accomplished so for if i try something like that. i did download the template so i assume that i could get it back, but i'm just not sure. anyway it was easy and fun to select books for my library.

I have looked around at merlin and signed up for an account. Used a link to go directly to the shifted librarian and noticed a link from there to sign up for rss.

rss

2007-11-17T11:52:00.000-08:00

I have subscribed to several rss feeds. Unfortunately i cannot figure our how to get them to show up on my blog. i know its easy to do because i watched the youtube about how to do it...and yet, sigh, i just can't find the buttons to click on. Anyway here is a list of the feeds: About cats, about contemporary literature, alternative energy, art deadlines list, art knowledge news, artsjournal, bloglinesnews, daily show videos, nation geographic, nyt arts, nyt book review, shifted librarian (i've heard this is amusing), usa.com books, washington post book reviews. i would also like to sign up for a weather feed.

Frustration!

I had so much fun making a meez, but I cannot figure out how to export it to my blog. I think that I saved it, so hopefully I will be able to figure it out on another day. These "things" should be easier!!!

23 Things # 7

2007-09-28T08:17:00.000-07:00

Okay I got my mp3 player, so I suppose I am interested in learning how to use it. I think I already know the first step...open the box! second step..ask one of my kids to help me.
I am also excited because we finally have a nice computer and we are hooked up to the internet. My daughter needed a laptop computer, so we got her hand-me-down desktop computer. Now I can print photos and sign up for a photo manager, maybe even flickr! I have photos stored on my camera that are a year old. From time to time I print some out at target, but this will be so much better.

I'm not sure that i would ever have made a blog if not for the 23 things program. And so, I start on this journey and I hope to learn more than 23 things and I hope that I will be able to find my blog again once I have finished with this posting!
