Week 4

After playing around with the digital cameras we have at home, I'm much more familiar with their features and am having so much fun being the 'photographer' rather than ducking and diving when I see one coming. I've also added some of the photos from my phone camera to my collection on flickr. I still want to do some work on creating montages and such before I publish them.

And finally I have something to show. I had to borrow the work camera and the helpful people round here downloaded the pictures within minutes yet its taken me ages to find my way to this creation. I experimented with adding tags and also with adding the URL from my flickr page, but I lost it and couldnt find it again. So had to save the image to the Gdrive.

Week 5

And since I dont have my camera with me to do the library picture, I went on ahead to the next step and had a look at these RSS feeds and setup my own Bloglines account : http://www.bloglines.com/public/USERNAME This was a very useful exercise. I was able to use it as a work tool too. I found a link to a news item about children and cooking which lead me to a book called "The spatulata cookbook" which is now in our collections. It only took 2 weeks to arrive and added to our collections. The Reader's Club Rss feed will be useful too and as I find more to do with children's and teens books, I'll add them as well.
I've also added a Bloglines notifier to my task bar, so I'll get alerts to my Bloglines.
