Online Image Generators

I am SO impressed with myself - after a great deal of trial and error (and, I have to confess, re-reading the instructions) I have successfully generated an image and posted it into my blog. I do feel that the instructions could have been more clear. I can see where this could be alot of fun to play around with, and also an incredible time-waster (in a fun way).

RSS Feeds part 3 (or whatever)

I have also subscribed successfully to Librarians Internet Index - I am subscribed by email, but often don't have time to read it. Hopefully I will find it easier to read via my Blogline account.

Feedster

I just tried to search on books and libraries in Feedster - the first page was almost nothing except unrelated links - under searching all feeds for libraries, I got CLOSET ORGANIZERS! I guess I need to try another source

Editing posts

I just had an interesting experience - somehow my previous posting came in as a draft, and while I could view it, I could not figure out how to post it permanently. There never seemed to be an option for that - so I ended up copying it into a new posting.

Merlin and Subscribing to Feeds

I am still confused about whether I should be blogging about some of the 23 things in Blogger or Bloglines - but I will put this here. I have had a bit of trouble subscribing to some feeds - they have a button that says "Subscribe now" but when you do that, the feed seems to go into some file called "Create in Feeds". Does this just live on your computer? It seems to indicate that it will be updated. I have continued to subscribe by copying

RSS Feeds and Newsreaders

I have created a Bloglines account (easy) and subscribed to a number of things, including Betsy's blog (just to see how to subscribe to a blog as opposed to a news site). I don't necessarily think I will use this service on an ongoing basis, but am glad to know what all the little icons (RSS and XML) mean on various web pages. It takes concentation to keep up with all the available technology - although just because something CAN be done, doesn't mean that I will do it. I find the interface for Bloglines and also Google Blog to be a bit "busy" and have noticed that alot of automatics feeds were several years old. Part of the assignment was to comment on the blog about RSS - but I was a bit confused as to whether I should use Bloglines or Blogger - I don't quite understand whether they are separate as far as Blogs, or whether I am linking Bloglines to my Blogger blog. Here is my public Bloglines URL: http://www.bloglines.com/blog/beachylibrarian
