I am experimenting with flickr spelling! What a fun site!

I have also posted a link to my new flickr set. I have a few pictures from my summer vacation that might interest librarians and bookworms. You can find the link in the right-hand column.

I definitely plan on creating a flickr account for our teen website. I would like to feature photos from our activities to increase interest in the community. I also wish I had used flickr this summer to set up a scavenger hunt around town for the teens. Maybe I can use this idea for an upcoming teen activity....

A booktalk feature on the library website could also benefit from photos. The book cover and other appropriate pictures could complement a book review. For instance, my photos of Walden Pond and Henry David Thoreau's cabin (see them on my flickr site...) would enhance a discussion of the book!!

I'm late! I'm late!

Wow, I am falling behind schedule with my play!! But wait! Playing shouldn't run on a schedule, right? So I will not get stressed out about which Project Play week I should be working on. I'm having fun!!

I have created a survey about libraries and MySpace using SurveyMonkey. (Boy, was that a fun process! I can see all kinds of applications.....) You will find the link in the right hand column. I invite you all to take my survey.

I would also love to hear some comments from my fellow Project Playees. I missed getting to meet you all in Green Bay. Did you have a lot of fun without me????

Keep playing, everyone!

I know something my DH doesn't know!

As I was working on my Project Play assignment for this week, I asked my DH what RSS feeds he subscribes to. He didn't know what an RSS feed was!! For the first time since we bought our first home computer 24 years ago, I know something tech-related that he doesn't! Amazing!

Actually, I'm not sure whether or not I'm really going to enjoy reading all of the blogs I've listed on my bloglines site. I'm still uncertain about my TIME. But, at least I am experimenting!! Maybe RSS will really be simple!!
