http://mysteryteacup.wordpress.com Just another WordPress.com weblog Thu, 24 Jul 2008 14:11:39 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Since I started the 23 things last winter, I have been continuing to explore even though I have not been blogging.  I thought I would use my "Catch-Up Week" post to look back at what I have been learning. I am still trying to find ways to use Flickr well.  I am ... http://mysteryteacup.wordpress.com/2008/07/24/week-six/ This summer I started a new blog with my family.  It was supposed to be about our summer projects - a way to keep us motivated.  I was afraid that we wouldn't have enough to blog about - instead we have so many projects that we don't have time to ... http://mysteryteacup.wordpress.com/2008/07/24/week-two-revisitd/ My children encouraged me to join Facebook - they tend to use it more than MySpace.  I still don't have a picture uploaded, but I have searched around, checked the sites related to my high school and colleges, and I became a friend of the LSC library.  There are a ... http://mysteryteacup.wordpress.com/2008/07/24/week-five-revisited/ This was by far the least comfortable of these exercises.  I think the idea of social networking is interesting.  It would be great to have a place to go to see all of the Vermont librarians and exchange ideas and tips, post pictures etc.  It would also be very helpful ... http://mysteryteacup.wordpress.com/2008/03/13/week-5-10-and-11/ I forgot to blog about posting a picture to Flickr.  I have used Flickr to look at sewing and art projects, but I never had any interest in using it myself.  I'm still not sure how the library would use it, but as the yearbook advisor for our school, I ... http://mysteryteacup.wordpress.com/2008/03/13/week-3-thing5/ I love RSS feeds!  I have been using Google Reader to keep track of some of  my favorite blogs.  It is so much easier to keep track of new things.  Because I have a Google e-mail account, I have started checking my blogs when I check my e-mail.  It really ... http://mysteryteacup.wordpress.com/2008/03/13/week-4-thing-8/ I loved the Color Pickr.  I always enjoy arranging things by color - kind of a dangerous hobby for a librarian!!  I have no idea what use I could find for it, but after this very gray and snowy day all that color was a treat. Retrievr is also fun, but since ... http://mysteryteacup.wordpress.com/2008/02/14/week-3-thing6/   It was difficult to know how to get this word from the Spell with Flickr website to my blog.  I ended up copying the code and pasting it right into my blog after I clicked the ... http://mysteryteacup.wordpress.com/2008/02/13/week-three-thing-6/ I never thought I would have my own blog.  I have enjoyed reading sewing and craft blogs for a long time, but the urge to write my own never hit me.  I could never figure out how the writers had time to sew all their own clothes, homeschool their children, ... http://mysteryteacup.wordpress.com/2008/02/12/week-two-thing-3-set-up-a-blog/ I always find viewing problems as challenges a bit difficult.  It is easier in theory, I think, than in practice.I love setting up the "toolbox" necessary for a new project.  That may be my fatal flaw - I take so much time reading about a project and assembling the tools ... http://mysteryteacup.wordpress.com/2008/02/11/week-1-thing-2/
