loc twitter page

I find it so funny that the Library of Congress has a twitter page! And not just that but have a look at this tweet they posted back in April:


How would that even work? And why bother?

Brimbank libraries facebook

I didn't expect my local library to have a facebook page considering their website is kind of dull, but they do! It's actually updated regularly as well.

Comments

Here are comments I've made:

on ida's blog
on christina's blog
on imelda's blog

Now I just need some more comments on my blog...pretty please!

Week 6

I didn't go to class today because I felt that I could finish off my blog without any worries, now I just need to find a library related Twitter page and Facebook page. This may be a tad bit more difficult than it sounds since I don't use either of those websites!

Otters holding hands!



Awww so cute!

Milo again


Here's a new picture of Milo relaxing in the bathroom sink.

Library related blog

Here is a library blog I quite like. The blog is called "Librarian's matter" and it's very informative on not just library issues but also on general web-based issues that I find quite helpful. Unfortunately, the layout is a bit too cluttered for my taste and as a new blogger user I find it a bit difficult to navigate at times. But there is still lots of interesting info there!

My cats!

Cats are my favourite animal and  I have two of them so I guess I would consider these pictures as my favourite. I'll also include some random info about them just for fun. :)

In his favourite place: the sink!
This is Milo. (He is so hard to photograph, he usually just looks like a big black blob!)

He is around 2 and-a-half years old and he's kind of a strange kitty cat.

Milo enjoys fetching straws, lying in bathtubs and sinks (especially while I'm straightening my hair), carrying wash cloths in his mouth (he will also fetch them if they are thrown at him), and eating vegetables.



When Ollie was a kitten


This is Ollie.

He is around 1 and-a-half.

Ollie likes to crawl under bed blankets and sleep there all day. I will regularly find an Ollie shaped lump in my bed and when I take a peek under the blanket he simply turns and meows at me then goes straight back to sleep. When Ollie isn't sleeping he likes to stare out windows and spy on people walking past.





Ollie says "Goodnight"

Week 4

I didn't make it to class this week. It looks like I missed out on adding pictures and videos to my blog but I shouldn't have too much trouble adding them on my own.

Week 3

In week 3 of our class we started talking about labels and gadgets. I had already started putting labels on my posts and had already put a couple of gadgets on my blog (including the cute fish one at the top of the page!), so I just started following some class members blogs and accidentally started followed my own blog. Whoops!

Towards the end of the class we were shown how to add links to our posts.

Week 2

In week 2 of our class we set up our blog on the blogger website! I spent most of my time fiddling around with my background because I couldn't get it to do what I wanted.
