I viewed 2 sites.

Technorati

I viewed 2 sites about Maine lighthouses.
LifeThroughMyEyes http://sfcfam5.livejournal.com/120996.html and
Shadowtime http://shadowtime.org/wordpress/?p=20
It was interesting to hear other stories of Maine.

Tagging

Well, I learned about tagging. I did like the tag site I ran across for travel. It listed a lot sites about cheap airline tickets. Cheap is plastered on my forehead.

Rollyo

I created a Rollyo account and put 3 sites on it that I use for free points that you can cash in for shopping gift cards. The tagword is Shoppingpoints.

Library Thing Link

My link to my list of books is http://www.librarything.com/catalog.php

Library Thing

I just listed 12 books that I have read (I'm a big 'Murder She Wrote' fan) and discovered 2 new ones that I haven't read yet.

I'm not waving

No, I'm not waving at you...I'm having a hot flash.

Meez and an angry belly dancer

I had fun playing with Avatar and created an angry belly dancer for my husband to view on our e-mail. The belly dancer is angry because I'd REALLY like to look like that...oh well, I can dream (my husband will have to do that, too)!

The MEEZ animator was fun, although they didn't have fat animations so it's only semi-close to how I look. Imagine a fluffy animation and you've got me.

I did it!

Tada! I figured out how to get around my problem with Merlin. I went on Merlin, wrote down the library blogs that I was interested in, logged onto Bloglines, typed in the library blogs URL in the search area, and subscribed through it. I now have 10 newsfeeds and 3 library blogs. I don't feel as stupid.

Exercise 9 - library related blogs/newsfeeds

This week I found 10 RSS feeds that looked interesting. I tried to find 3 library related feeds, but something is wrong with the connection. I had Chris look at it, and he couldn't make it work either. I did, however, check out some of the library feeds and signed up for MERLIN. By the way, the lighthouse picture is Cape Neddick, Maine.

My cd cover and RSS

Today I printed my CD cover for my Maine trip (the Portland Headlight, prettiest lighthouse) and I learned how to, and set up an RSS account with feeds to CNN, travel, and knitting. Whoopee, I might get blogged down with knitting projects.

Flickr

I'm interested in trying Flickr to create DVD/CD covers. My cd of pictures from New England 2005 is sitting in an envelope, it would look much better in a case.
