Continuation of Week Six, Assignment #14

#14 Continued

I just finished checking Technorati for popular posts, and I don't care for what I'm seeing. Boing Boing was listed as the most popular blog at the time I looked, and it had a posting about Cephaloerotica (erotica combined with the octopus). Is this supposed to interest me? I have better things to do with my time than to read this type of posting.

These are the 100 most popular tags today:

I can't say that there's a single topic there that I'd care to spend time reading about. The only time I ever read a blog, it's school librarian related or tango related. (Ah, now you know my secret passion!)

I claimed my blog in Technorati. Here's my button:

Here's the button so you can add this blog to your Technorati favorites:

At the end of the process of claiming my blog, I see the note, "You have no authority yet." It's really not something I care enough about to pursue.

Week Four, Assignment #9

#9. Locate a few useful library blogs or newsfeeds.

View my Blogroll and you'll see that I've found some good school library blogs. I've also subscribed to the American Libraries Direct weekly newsfeed. Just for fun, I added my own blog to my list:

Week Three, Assignment #7

#7. Create a blog post about anything technology-related that interests me this week.

I'm finding that this Blogger site interests me this week. I tried to use it a long time ago and was utterly frustrated with it. Then I used it again last year and had better luck with it, but I didn't feel I had enough to say to justify having a blog. This time around, I'm actually enjoying this project. I'm amazed that I can post a blog to Blogger from another site such as Flickr and have it show up here. Or maybe I posted it through e-mail. I've done so much with this blog today that I'm not even remembering everything I tried. It was a day that my school connection with the Internet went offline every few minutes and none of the photos I uploaded showed at all while I was at school, but I came home and found the pictures all looked fine.

Week Two, Assignment #4

#4. I've e-mailed the PA Web 2.0 Team and registered my blog.

I did this so that other librarians taking this Library 2.0 tutorial can find my blog and see what I'm doing.

Week Two, Assignment #3

#3. Create a blog, post something, add an avatar.

Blogger is not nearly as user-friendly as the blogging software our school district uses. It took me an inordinate amount of time to get this far, and to get my avatar in the position I wanted it. Nevertheless, I'm here and on-board.

Week One, Assignment #1

#1. This is the first of "23 Things" I will be doing on this blog.

I read the information about this program that PSLA had adopted, that was originally set up by the California School Library Association. The PA Web 2.0 Team has set up their assignments as part of this blog: http://paweb20.blogspot.com/
