thing 6

I have been using Google Reader for awhile. I find it a real time saver. I would find blogs I enjoy reading and then forget which ones they were in my bookmarks. I opened a Bloglines account as well. I can see using several accounts each for a different interest. Or one for work and one for personal interests.

Since I just opened the Bloglines it will take a couple weeks of using it to determine if one is better than the other.

Thing 5

I always make the easier things much more difficult than they are. IM for example. However, I got my IM running this morning. Put Allana and Christa in my contacts and talked to Christa before I went to work. One advantage to being in the west I can talk to Lincoln before going to school.

Haven't used IM in several years. Used it when my daughter was getting married to save on long distance calls.

Took a couple days off last week and went to the NLA/NEMA conference - loved it as always. Hello to all at NLC. Glad to have seen you in person.

thing 4

My blog is up -- the address is posted -- thing 5 is up next -- next week. This week I am going to the conference in Lincoln.

thing 3

My blog. The hardest part was naming it. Getting it up and running was easy.

thing 2

Hardest and easiest?? I guess play is the hardest because I always want to have it "just right" before I put it out there for everyone to see. Sometimes the job is to get it done, not get it perfect. Easiest - teaching others because that is what I do everyday. When I find something really great I want to share it with someone. I have started to share this program with others.

thing 1

I have seen 23 things several times on the web, but was hesitant to try it. When I saw that the Library Commission was setting up a program I decided that this would be the time I do it.
