#30 Lolcats


What an amazing array of cats. As a dog person I'd prefer dogs but this one I thought was super cute and funny.

#29 Scrapblog

I wouldn't say I'm in love with this one. It was easy enough to do, though you could waste a lot of time on it. I didn't strike the problems with uploading images from photobucket that others encountered but maybe I was lucky. I did send it to flickr to share at scrapblogbooks but when I checked the tag it wasn't showing even though it's in my flickr file and correctly tagged. The help notes did say it can take 24-48 hours for items to show in tags so maybe it will be there in 2 days time! Not sure about this one for use in libraries - maybe for advertising events but we have lots of other ways to do this and this may not be the best of them.

#28 on the cover of National geographic


This was a bit of fun so I thought I'd use a photo of the lizard - a pygmy bluetongue lizard and very cute- my daughter Holly has been working with for her honours thesis - a lizard which has just featured on David Attenborough's life in cold blood - a worthy front page for National geographic I think! I could see that we could adapt magazine covers to feature guest authors and special topic sessions in the libary - some of the special internet demos could feature this way. Basically though it's just a lot of fun.

27# Photobucket

Creating a photobucket account was easy. Though the number of accounts floating out there on the internet in my name is very hard to keep track of. I've saved three images of books to my album, finding relevant images wasn't simple and not all titles I searched for brought up matches which could be used. However the deed is done.

26# Widgets

Well I got stunped at first, or maybe it was second base, since I did get into yourminis. However when I went into the start page it needed adobe flash player. Didn't matter if I was on library web access or ordinary library explorer same request no way was it going to shift without adobe flash and since i couldn't download it I have given up and will move on to 27. I'm sure I can live without widgets.

24# Zamzar

I took Fiona's advice and converted one of the about the boys publisher files to pdf. Very easy and will be very useful when we want to send publisher attachments via email - IT will be pleased! Can see this will be a very useful tool for borrowers using the internet too when they can't open a file. Hey presto let's convert it to one which will open.
