Podcasts, Scene One, Take One

Not hard to add the link to the podcast site once I remembered seeing the gadget when I first setup the blog. I haven't decided which of the directories I like best just using them for free and not creating an account. As it stands now I like that Mediafly will let me limit by format so I can look at just vodcasts. I will look at them some more later. Now I need to go to Best Buy to pickup a terabyte external drive. :)

Map Maker

Map Maker is fun but limited. For example in order to create a map showing where I have been in North America I would need to do a world map. So instead I made this map of where I have lived. L0oks like I have been living in the Midwest....

I like flickr much better then Picasa for editing. Flickr also does not require downloading software. I can see me using flicker only for posting pictures to a blog. Currently I use facebook for sharing pictures because I can share with selected groups of people. The picture above is the one I have on flickr to us as an avatar.

Transfered the blog

Well I got the blog transfered, but.... Since it is a new account I am no longer following any of the other blogs and I do not have an avatar. So now to redo that...

Moving the blog to another account

I do this to myself every once in a while. Set something up one way and then after putting in enough effort that I don't want to start all over decide that I should have started differently. I did it again with this blog and the 2.0 challenge. I used my "throw away" (junk email) account to set up the blog. Now I am finding that it is a pain to keep switching between it and my normal Google account when I want to do something. So..... I am going to see if I can switch control of this blog to my regular account. If I lose it then I will just have to start over...

This is a picture I took last summer in Crested Butte, CO. The knight is about 8 feet tall and both figures are made of chrome. Now why didn't I crop this one for an avatar?

Distracted Again!

This time to Flickr. I had been fussing with why I could not get my avatar to show when I "follow" peoples blogs. I have it in my google profile and in the blogger one. Got to thinking that maybe I needed to have it posted on the web in place of uploading each time form my pc which lead me to Flickr. I now have and account on flickr and have it so I can post from it to the blog.

RSS Problem

The big problem I am having with searching for rss feeds is that I keep getting distracted. I search for something and then when I am looking through the results I see something else that I am interested in.

RSS

I have been using RSS feeds for sometime but I am still learning things. I have been using it on the library's website to let people subscribe to the "News" that is posted. If anyone wants to take a look they can go to http://watweb.sdln.net/news/ and click on the link. Another type of feed that is being used is hCalendar to allow people to import our calendar items into their electronic calendar. People can look at this at http://watweb.sdln.net/calendar.html

Twitter post

Interesting, the hash apparently only does the word it is in front of. So the hash I created was"#South" not "#South Dakota Library 2.0 Challenge" I wonder if I put the # in front of each word?...

On Twitter

Well I created a Twitter account and posted a twit. I used the hash: #South Dakota Library 2.0 Challenge. So if others use it we can tweet together. Tweet tweet. :)

Creating the blog

Very easy to do. The hardest part was reading the Turing test.

Seven and a half

The weakest habit of the 7 1/2 for me is setting the goal. Deciding what to do is hard for me. The strongest is the play part. Love to play with things!
