Thing 3: RSS feeds part two

I decided that I didn't want all those feed and found out where to cut them off. Now I am going to try to find a way to add blogs to these feeds.

Wish me luck!

This is actually sorta fun and exciting to experiment with so many new things.

thing 3: RSS feeds

Well, I tried Google reader. There is waaay too much going on. I really don't want news from the BBC. Hopefully, it will show me how to unsubscribe some of the feeds. I need to look around and find something that I am really interested in. However, I don't when I will find the time to actually look at Google reader.

I need to work on the RSS feeds a little more to understand how they work. Right now, I may be too tired (Friday night at 8:30 pm) to keep going.

Thing 2: What is Library 2.0 Anyway?

There are a lot of things to think about when reading about and viewing information about library 2.0. The one thing that was going through my mind was.. boy, do I have to change my thinking and do I have a lot to learn.

This is probably the main reason why I signed up for 23 things. To see what Library 2.0 was about, I have never blogged before and am totally against social networking, but... maybe my mind can be changed.

There are many changes that could come about with Library 2.0. Most of the information came from public libraries. I am thinking and wondering how it will affect school libraries, and especially those in the inner city where kids do not have access to computers at home. Some do not have cell phones or access in ways that most people take for granted. Some parents still think that kids should not be using the internet for research, let alone, blogging or social networking or anything like that.

I think it will take some librarians to change their thinking and maybe access to the web. Hmm, maybe, Facebook needs to be checked out??

Thing 1a: Adding an avatar and fixing the title.

Adding an avatar was interesting.

Now I am thinking about being more creative. Look for me under a new sign.

Thing 1: Creating a blog

Trying to get it write!,, I mean right.

This was an adventure! I almost wish I would have been more creative for the name of my blog. I still have to add my avatar. Maybe I should read the directions before trying something on my own. I hope to be able to add to this often.

These 23 things should be fun to do! It will be one rollercoaster. Well, adding the avatar was easier than I thought as was adding to the blog. I guess I am ready for Thing 2.
(not to be confused with Thing 1). Sorry Dr. Seuss.
