Trying out the rollyo search engine http://rollyo.com/index.html
hopefully this will lead you to the link correctly.

Week 5: Library Thing

Well this is an interesting site, a visually appealing and very user friendly way of cataloging and rating your book collection. Library Thing is a site that I would recommend to anyone who has the time and desire to record their collection, for me, this will just have to wait till I retire, in about 30 years time!

Week 5/ Image generators


Image generators are an interesting tool, but you have to have the right photo to fool around with for it to work well. The following is a link to flickr tools where I was able to do an Andy Warhol type picture of Madonna. Thanks to jbits
for the tip of adding links to my blog it certainly makes things alot more interesting. Now on to number 11.

Week 4: RSS feeds & newsreaders


Well this lessons been quite fun, I got a bit carried away with adding feeds and added about 12 but what the heck, lets hope I'll remember the process more easily.
As to whether they are useful library related sites well Harry Potter and James Bond are "literary characters".

WEEK 3 Success in creating a flickr badge. YEAH!!

Well, I've amazed myself. I have finally negotiated my way around Flickr and created a badge that I was then able to copy and paste on to my Blog. Earlier I was disappointed as I hade made this wonderful kaleidoscope of a photo but was then unable to save it, that site was more about having fun with the kaleidoscope option then anything else I think. While it's quite interesting to look at other people's photo's and what they've done on Flickr I don't think I'll be using this option to post any of my photo's.
