I have mixed feeling about this topic and my online presence or presences may be more accurate. This blog started as part of the learning experience of Nebraska Learns 2.0. I was learning what mark I wanted to make on the internet. And I wasn't ready to make a big mark. So my original postings etc were rather anonymous. I was never the one that walked up to strangers and introduced myself so doing it online was was even more difficult. I still do a lot more reading than posting.
This blog is mostly the educational side of me (formal and informal). I do not post much about my family - they all have Facebook and can do that on their own. I post some about my work, but I also have a school library webpage that I am revamping this summer. The branding for the webpage I want to keep focused on the school, not on me. I have put my mark on the school library, but it was there before me and will be there after I leave, so it needs to have its own mark, related to the school.
I did the Google search and did not appear until page 5 in a listing for Library Camp Nebraska III. There is an author with the same name and spelling. Because of her I am hard to find by name. Good and bad. I have not read any of her book so I can't say whether I would like or dislike being mixed up for her.
Ramblings of a lone, but not lonely, school librarian on the Nebraska prairie. My subtitle says it. I am isolated by location and calling, but don't let it isolate me as a person. The internet is doing this in more ways than the phone calls and letter writing did in the past. (To be honest I still do both when the need arises.) I guess for the time being I am content to be the little fish in the big pond knowing the big fish are there to listen when I have something to say or if help if I decide to make a bigger splash.
