RSS

Took out a bloglines account - another account to manage but at least it does save time when receiving the information required from various sites.
One way I can see this RSS setup to be helpful would be to have separate bloglines accounts for different topics. This should help library customers to source updated information in a timely manner according to their interests.
Did someone say that one should be able to do these lessons in 15 minutes a day ??
It is a great chance to increase ones knowledge of the uses of computers though.

This doesn't seem to be a photo of the Parkes Shire Library but that was the search request.

Who knows, maybe this is what our rates will pay for in the future.

That went well !!!

Previous post wasnt supose to go like that but however the picture is there.

Perhaps I should try another method. Like using the "add image" icon in the create post page.
No, sorry that didn't work. I am sure glad I found how to delete posts though.
It is fun trying !!

This building looks very much like the one we used as a prefect house when I was at Mosman High.
I was in the first group of students to attend year 4 and 5 when the school graduated from an Intermediate School to a full High School.
Mosman High also changed from separate boy and girl schools to a co-ed school at this time.
I know this is not about the library but perhaps might be of interest re this grand old cottage

The Start

Hi there all.
Well, I finally got here after a few false starts. This is an exciting challenge and I am looking forward to increase my understanding of blogs and etc. This is really something new to me as I have mainly used computers and the internet for business purposes. I decided that in order to help a special friend with this assignment I needed to get an understanding of how blogs work. So even though I'm not associated with any library I took this opportunity to increase my learning by trying this course.

Some of you have some great blogs and script so I hope mine will not bore you.
