Thing 6: Image generator

This took time, partly because of many choices and then decisions to make and partly because it's been a long day. It was wonderful to see the possibilities. This could be used for bookmarks and signs.

Thing 5: More Flickr fun


I looked at some of the options and chose Color Pickr and puzzles to add to my blog.
These toys and all the "more Flickr" possibilities could lead to forgetting to get back to work. Good thing it's Sunday. I can see using the tools on a web page or publicity for library events. If one had the time, it would be great to add some of the mashups to the teen link of our webpage.

Thing 4: Flickr



I have never gotten into taking pictures. In the last few months, however, I have taken a few at the library and learned how to save them on the computer.
It was helpful to learn about Flickr and it turned out to be a fun tool.
I created a Flickr account and added pictures from the library. I posted one of them to the blog which was taken from an event at the library.

Thing 3: Adding RSS reader and feeds

The RSS reader is a great tool. I can see where it will be a time-saver as I had already spent a fair amount of time looking at the blogs of other participants in the 23 things. On the other hand, as I add feeds, it could take up more time, reading news and articles more frequently and from more sites than I am currently doing. That's a choice, though, and I can always delete feeds. So, all in all it is pretty exciting. I would like to share this tool with staff. I found it easy to add feeds once I had the button on the toolbar.
