So I guess if I am just blogging away and I think of a book that I really want - then it is good to have the search tool here in my blog to be able to check if we own it?

Otherwise I must be missing the boat - cause I don't know why you would want it here?

Library Thing

Boy there is a lot of info there.

Here's my link: http://www.librarything.com/home/Aftrhours77

Not sure how much this will help - I like shelfari.....but I will give this a chance

Playing with generators!

That was fun....I can see using this quite often.

I like the comic one - Garfield is a favorite of mine.

So enjoy!!

Finding feeds

Some were easy to find others well ....not so much.

Mostly what I did was go to sites I love to visit and then looked for the RSS button.....if I didn't find it I took the URL and tried to add it in Bloglines....and that would tell me if it didn't find a feed.....might not be the best way to do this...but it worked for me.

Not sure if this is something that is going to save time and brain cells - but I will give it a try.

I found a feed for "Kraft" - now I can get 10 ideas for dinner every day!!

RSS feeds

I did the exercise - but I am still not sure till I use it for a few days if this is something I will -
a. jump for joy with
b. say "I did all that for this!"
c. share the information with all I know cause I love it so...

For any who want to look around it here is the URL......

I'll let you know how it goes.

Time keeps on slippin'

I started this journey into the land of 2.0 because I want to keep up. My children are light years ahead - but still need "Mom" for common sense things.

I thought I had a grip on text messaging till my daughter the other night said TTYL.....I pondered this ....I stared at this .... and finally I just had to know.....so I sent her a text....."hhmmm what is TTYL?" After she finished shaking her head and probably letting all her friends know with a "OMG" she let mom in on it...."talk to you later".

So technology keeps coming and I keep trying but I can't keep up - I will try to stay up on the information that will not get a "OMG" from my children but otherwise there is just way too much out there to even try to keep up on everything.

This time we played with flickr tools - mashups - tools - etc. way more fun things then I have time for in this training. If I can get the home computer away from my children - I hope to be able to play some more!!

I picked the magazine cover - this was fun and I can see using this as gifts for family and friends.

I am really enjoying this training and am learning as I go.
