As you can see, I've been playing with image and text generators. They're awfully fun.
It's very easy to do. Each page seems to have its own instructions about how to copy the html to your blog. After doing it once, though, it was almost all the same.
To find them, I just typed in text generator or image generator into a search engine and got lots of hits.
I'm not sure there's an application for image and text generators in the library world.

Thing #9 - Twitter
Well, I've got a Twitter account and have entered something into it. None of my friends in my Yahoo mail account have a Twitter account so I can't follow any friends. My username is librarylynn.
Twitter would be especially useful for a librarian who is the mouthpiece of the library to talk about what's going on at the library.

Things #7 and 8
#7 was to get a bloglines account which I already had from a long time ago.
#8 was to add some feeds. I had forgotten how, and had to re-teach myself. It was quite easy.
I think that this is a great way to get news and blogs without having to make each one a bookmark on every computer you use. Just go to bloglines and pow! read up on everything since you visited before. This is especially handy since I don't want to force my bookmarks on other people who use the same computers I do.

Thing #6
Okay, I figured out I was numbering everything wrong. Now I'm on track.
For #6, I'm supposed to look at some library web sites which are using Web 2.0 and blog about anything Web 2.0 that I think would be useful for our library.
Of the four libraries mentioned in the document I'm working from, the one I'm most impressed with is the Ann Arbor District Library.
Ann Arbor District Library has 2 things which I'd love to include on our web site (catalog). 1) Catalog tags. Wouldn't it be totally cool for the public to be able to tag a book or dvd or whatever? That's another way for people to search for items they're interested in and it's a way of involving the public. That got me excited. 2) AADL has a card catalog view of the MARC record. On it there are 3 places where a patron can write their opinion of the book or dvd, etc. So for Bride and Prejudice people wrote that it had good dancing, it's a fun movie, and that it's a great entree into Bollywood films.
