RollyO

Finished RollyO tonight. At first glance I really couldn't see the use of it but after a bit of experimentation I can see how it would be a very useful tool for researching a particular group of websites. These last two items (LibraryThing and RollyO are the two most useful things I have seen so far. I know that I need to practice and fine tune them a bit (well, lots).

Library Thing

I think that LibraryThing is a useful tool. Gives references to similiar books. Below is the reference to my Librarything catalogue.

Black Adder Quote Generator

I used a generator to produce a Blackadder quote (Second son to Henry the third- bit of a weasel really).

Blackadder: If we lose, I'll be chopped into pieces. My arm'll end up in Essex, my torso in Norfolk and my genitalia stuck up a tree somewhere in Rutland.

Blackadder: Let all men who go to don armour tomorrow remember to go before they don armour tomorrow.

Blackadder: Run away from the hills! If you see hills, run the other way!

Image Generators

Well - I used an image generator to generate a nice flashing 'The Cat's Pyjamas' image for the blog. Unfortunately it stopped flashing when I tried to add it to the blog. Not sure what when wrong but I'll try again

Flickr and trading cards

Took a while, but I have worked out how to use flickr (my ever loving and sometimes useful husband helped me.) I can see how it may be of interest to some, and I created a trading card (of Soxy the Pound Pooch).

Bloglines

Had some fun doing bloglines.... I never did find the share tab but I created a public blogline blog at http://www.blogline.com/blog/debbieleehansen . I can see how a blog that pushes information to a blogline may be useful for publishing information (new books in, holiday closing etc.). However - the user must have a blogline to get the blog, or must be able to access the blog! At the moment, I'm not sure how many people understand blogs -I know I didn't before I started this journey, and I'm still not sure I have it all - but I am learning lots...
