Another library blog

Just found another blog - http://www.aliveinbaghdad.org/2007/04/16/an-iraqi-woman-and-her-library/ - which was sent to me via the 'Library Link of the Day' email. It's about a librarian in Bagdhad, and her daily work.

Fun with blogs

Hi all

I've just tried setting up a Bloglines account, and have added 12 feeds / blogs to it. I got a bit carried away with adding these, and I expect that some of them will be removed later, depending on their content.

One that I have been receiving in my email is Lorcan Dempsey's weblog. I can recommend this one (at least I find it good). It is very chatty but has some excellent posts. He works at OCLC, and as far as I can find from his blog, his title is Vice President and Chief Strategist.

I did find that I had to try and add some of the blog / feed links more than once, as it didn't work the first time, so this may be of use to others who experience the same problem.

Personalised Google page

Hi

I have also set up a personalised Google page (go to www.google.com.au, and click the link in the top right corner to set up).

Once set up, you can add news feeds, Post-It notes (electronic), to do lists and more.

You can also add several tabs - e.g. one for general ECU business, one for article feeds,... I downloaded the Google toolbar for extra functionality.

Cheers

First posting

Hi all

It seems very easy to use blogger, and I'm going to try out the features shortly. The 23 things course seems interesting, and not too much work to do each week. Of course, we can do extra reading and investigation if we want to.
