Week 8

Today we just continued on with our Google Site and Margie showed us how to insert a Google Calendar to our site. I've almost finished my site, I just have two more pages to complete.

Week 7

Today we started on Comp Task 2. We have to create a small website using the Google Sites software which will then lead into the final Comp Task where we have to make a large website on a topic of our choice. I don't really like the Google Sites software, I find it a bit disorganized and all the layouts are gross looking.

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!

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

Week 5

Today we talked about how we can get people to find our blog, how to embed a youtube video to our blogs and then Margie talked about the various social networking sites including facebook and twitter, and the differences between them.

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!
