This was a real cool thing that I took the time to check out. I love DIY and HGTV so those are the channels that I headed for first on Hulu. I tried to do the same thing on Joost but got nowhere--don't think I will visit that one again. I will probably use Hulu many times to watch different DIY shows when I am in the mood to learn a new way of doing things or find some "cool tools".

Well I thought I should get this evaluation done before the deadline. I will continue to "play" with the tools I haven't tried yet. This project was a rewarding experience and I wish I had had more time to devote to this project. With working 3 different jobs out of town and doing a kitchen renovation, my time has been very limited these last few months and I don't get much time to get on the

This was a fun one. I could see many uses for the different tools in this "thing". I tried out most of the links and had some fun.

I was interested in checking out this "thing" because I love taking pictures and doing something with them. First I checked out Animoto and created an account, I found the program to be too limiting for my taste and wasn't pleased with the end result. Then I tried out OneTrue Media and spent quite a long time creating a video and all the components that went with it. I was much more pleased

Well I decided to jump ahead and pick and choose the "things" that I was interested in learning about. I chose this one because I am looking at a business my friend has started YourStoryBooksOnline.com It is about telling your story thru storybooking. Safely archiving and preserving family history, story, traditions, and culture and making and creating books to be shared and past on to

Well since I didn't do the original "23" I had to go back to thing 11 to see what RSS feeds are all about and how to "get connected". I did go check out Delicious and created an account and added my "library tools" bookmarks to my account. I think it is pretty cool and will have to check it out more in depth when I have more time.

Well this one was a much easier "thing" to do. I have had a my yahoo homepage for several years so I was familiar with how to customize a home page. I had also started customizing an igoogle page when I started my blog.As I was reading through the blog instructions I decided to check out the different tools for creating a start page such as Netvibes and Pageflakes. Didn't see that they were a

Well I joined the 23 things on a stick ning and it was actually very easy to do. I tried joining the Google group but my membership has been pending for the last few days so I am not sure about that one. I gound a person on there that I went to school with that is a librarian at a college and we are now "friends" thru the site. Well got to open the library now so I will post later.

Well I actually have some spare time so I am back messing with my blog. I have now added a digital clock and decided to put it above my title thereby moving down the title so it can be seen better because of the advertising logo for Webfetti. I have also read the "tips for your blog" and decided to give some more "meat" to my "about me" section. I have visited google gadgets to check out some of

Well I kind of jumped ahead and decided to check out what Twitter is. I actually happened upon it by accident. I was reading our new staff connections newsletter about a workshop we have coming up "Reference in the Electronic Age Workshop". I wanted to check out the speaker's blog so I clicked on the link. On her blog she had a article about Twitter and I clicked on the link Other Places You Can

Well I am still playing with my blog's look. I have now added a slideshow of sunsets. In looking for an avatar (which I am not having much luck with) I came upon "Webfetti" and added a sunrise background. I am going to give it a try for a few days and see if I want to keep it or not.

Well since this is my first time, it is kind of hard to "refresh my blog".I did look through the templates and gave myself a harbor look because right now I am in Marquette MI and looking out my son's back door I look at the harbor on Lake Superior and it is a beautiful sight. I have also registered my blog on NLLN and taken the time to look through everyone's blogs to get some ideas and see if I

Hi Everyone--This is my first blog ever and so I am just a "newbie". I was able to figure out how to put up pictures, so my favorite subjects are now present on my blog. I am kind of excited to try out "More things on a stick". I love trying new technology and am willing to take the time to check out each thing.
