# using what I learned

I haven't blogged for a while and I thought it would be nice to update. I am using some of the things I have learned in 23things. The Grove City Library now has a blog, Margaret and I created it as a way for patrons to get info about library programing and when/what is sceduled. We also hope it peaks interest in the library and it makes library info avaliable to people at their fingertips. It is good to reach out to people where they are, with tools they are using. I am excited to watch it grow. I would have never had the idea to try this if it weren't for 23 things!

Update

I looked at the 23things ning today to play around with it and realized I had spelled my name wrong. How can I manage to do the 23things and make such stupid mistakes like putting in the wrong url and mispelling my name? I do have the excuse of doing most of the 23things at home while tending to 4 children. My brother has opened my eyes to the world of firefox and tabs, which are also available on yahoo. I love the idea of being able to sort so many things and having them under tabs and not having to constantly shrink and maximize screens. I wish we had them here at the library, but I am not sure this old computer could handle it. Speaking of which, it is getting so slow that it is almost dysfunctional and it is impossible to multitask on it. I am glad that I learned about tabs and how to work them, I see this as a great time saver. Just thought I would post it.

Update

Well I finally finished 23things and realized that I had put in the wrong URL when I registered my blog. The name of the blog showed up on the 23things site, but no one could read it. I called Robin at Sammie and hopefully it is fixed. The interaction with other bloggers is half the fun of doing this. I myself like to read other peoples blogs and see what thier experience has been, as well as ideas that they may have had. It was a little dissapointing that my blog could not be reached by others, don't know I how I made such a simple mistake. At least I caught it and will get credit for finishing! I have not had much time to go back through any of the things yet but I still use facebook on a daily basis and play an online, interactive game there. I also have the yahoo tools as my home page and use de.lic.iuos. There are some things I want to explore more, but I am going to take it at a more managable pace.
