Week 4: #9 Finding Feeds

I now know what those little icons are on various websites = newsfeeds. I did not find Bloglines search tool very helpful in finding newsfeeds. But, I did find other search tools (Feedster, Topix, Sundic8, and Technorati) very helpful in findin just what I needed. Of these previous 4 search tools, I liked Topix and Syndic8 the best. Topix because it had headlines at the top, and Sundic8 because it listed all the feeds I have been looking for, and even gave me their status, eg., waiting approval.

Week 4: #8 Make life "really simple" with RSS and a newsreader

I am learning so much! This is the absolute most wonderful library training which I have participated in or attended. Thank you! I feel up-to-date and techno-savy. I have created an account on Bloglines and added 10 newsfeeds. I learned that some of most favorite (5) online news journals that I receive via email do not yet have RSS feeds. I did email one of them and they said they are putting in the feeds soon. In order to fulfill the minimum number of 10 feeds required for this assignment, I found some other very interesting newsfeeds. I also added a flickr badge to my site, so I am learning gobs and gobs. Thanks again, HCPL!

Week 3: #7 Photo Editing Tools

I didn't have any success with Pixer - my photos wouldn't upload. I did use Snipshot to adjust the color hues, but found that the enhancer tool was not available for free.

Week 3: #6 More Flickr Fun

I placed the photos that I uploaded to a map! Really fun.

Week 3: #5 Discover Flickr

I thought I had already created a Flickr account for SRP, but couldn't log in. I guess I just have too many accounts! Fun and useful exercise!
