# 11 LibraryThing

Bloggers!! I have been investigating LibraryThing. This is a place where you can catalogue your own books. I have put a list of 5 books I have really enjoyed on this post from my LibraryThing page. If you like a bit of crime in your life I highly recommend you read them. I have really enjoyed using LibraryThing and intend on adding more. Give it a go.

See you soon...... Have fun

# 9 Online Image Generator

Good morning Bloggers!! Today I have been checking out Image
Generators. All you have to do is find an image and add your own words to it. You can then use this image for all sorts of things for example cards or posters. If you click on the link below you will find many pictures you can use. Have a bit of fun and try it.
Now I'm off to see what the next task is.

# 8 Useful Library Related Blogs and/news feeds

Back with a blink of the eye Bloggers. Just finishing off my Bloglines exercise. I have added some of the the Learning 2.0 bloggers to my Bloglines account. And a couple of new news feeds. Interesting but enjoyed Flickr alot more. Might be time for a new picture soon.
Just a quick one this time as I wish to get to the next step. Sounds more exciting than this part. Stay tuned....Bye

# 8 RSS & Newsreaders

Hi Bloggers....... Hope all is good out there in Blogland. For the past couple of days I have been learning about RSS feeds. This stands for "Really Simple Syndication". So, instead of ploughing through web sites to get to the bit you would like to read, you can have that bit sent to your account. So, I have set-up a Bloglines account where I have added News feeds that go directly to that account. I have found that this section has taken a bit of time. Not sure if I will use it that much. But always worth a look at.

Next blog coming soon......

Bye for now

# 7 Technology Related Stuff

Hey Bloggers I'm back so soon. Today I must tell you about something technological. My topic is BLOGGING!! What first introduced me to blogging was a project at work. We have been asked to do a thing called Learning 2.0. This is a program designed to introduce staff to new technologies by following a list of 23 Things. So far I have learnt to set-up a blog and chat on the net. And as you can see from my last two posts I have discovered Flickr which has been a lot of fun and I shall delve into further.
As you can see I am only up to no. 7. But will hopefully start to cruise through the list.

Stay tuned for my progress......Bye for now

# 6 Flickr mashups & 3rd party sites

Greetings bloggers!! I have been exploring Flickr again. I have discovered how to create a trading card through Flickr mashups & 3rd party sites. This card shows a fantastic painting by one of my favourite artists Salvadore Dali, a surrealist artist. I was absolutely amazed when I saw this painting. His work can be quite controversial and was surprised to see it in the Vatican Museum. I let out a huge WOW when I saw it. To be able to stand only centimentres from it and take a photo too.

Just magic!

Until next time bloggers.....have fun

# 5. Explore Flickr

ITALY 2006
Originally uploaded by groovey spirits

Hello Bloggers out there. I have had some fun with Flickr, a photo website. I have put some holiday snaps from Italy 2006 up for viewing. I loved Italy. Such a beautiful country with so much history. This photo is of the Colosseum. It is huge as you can see from the size of the people. It's amazing to think that criminals fought each other and animals in the centre of this building. What a strange barbaric race we were, or maybe still are. I highly reccommend you visit Italy sometime. Pop it on your list of places to go.

Well I'm off bloggers. Until next time.......

ENJOY
