Week 6:14 - Tagging in Del.icio.us

Del.icio.us Challenge:

Well, this was yet another challenging but rewarding task. I opened an account in Del.icio.us and started tagging/bookmarking. There's alot to take in but practice makes perfect I guess.

Week 5:13 - Adding an Entry to the Sandbox Wiki

Manukau Libraries Wiki - For this “explore-and-play-with-wikis” exercise

Well, I followed the instructions and managed to add my 'Favourite Comedy Shows' page to Manukau Libraries Wiki...hooray!! This exercise was fun and easy to do.

Week 5: 12 - The Wiki Hula

I had fun looking through the SJCPL Subject Guides – a pathfinder wiki developed by the St. Joseph County Public Library system. It was easy to surf and understand because it was in plain librarian language. And I think keeping a Wiki simple is better than making it complicated and hard to follow. I liked the fact that almost all the subject guides on this Wiki were relatively common to me as a librarian. I think Manukau Libraries would do well with Wikipedia but we must remember that there is always a good and bad in everything. After reading through some comments posted under some other Wikis I've read through in the process of finding out what a Wiki is, I'm also mindful that it is definitely a two way sword. The information provided on it must be accurate and factual, and mustn't be misused at any time. It would be wonderful to include all the information sources and resources available at our Research Library ie- the wealth of knowledge we have in our Heritage and Family History Collections.

Second Part of Week 2

I like Toxi.net the best because it's got some nz newsfeed items. I didn't like Technorati because it's very Americanise. Syndic8.com was blocked and I couldn't access it so I wouldn't know what it is (lol).

Week 2: Bloglines

Brown Girl in the Rings Bloglines

Mai mai, thanks to Lucy, I now know a little bit more about bloglines. I must admit it was abit blurry when I started this bloglines journey, the instructions were not clear and required a genius like Lucy to help a Loonie like me hehehehe.

Week 1: First Time Blogging

I must admit the first task to this blogging business was quite easy. Playing around with the templates was fun, and revealing who we are and adding pictures.
