registering

Yahooo! I am a registered participant. I thought this task would be slightly more complicated but so far I am really liking this 27 things project. The instructions are clear and extremely easy. I am ready for anything they throw at me! Bring it on!

I hear staff members working towards their 27 things and at 1st it was kind of an "i don't know about this" kind of attitude (although most have been wonderfully open to give this a try) and now I think staff is realizing "hey this isn't so bad" to " hey i am really liking this, i am having a blast!" kind of attitude.

Its fantastic and wonderful to be able to play at work!

23 things to go!

cha-cha-cha!

that's right i forgot to mention i used chacha.com the other day to help a patron(after the fact.. I promise to be quicker next time) with a guide. thank you very much! it was totally cool. i was at bp no librarian in sight. had called bu let the patron talk to a librarian. patron still didn't get what they wanted and left frustrated**only because she was wanting info from a book#she had tried surfing the net*google* and couldn't find anything# and we had nothing** yikes. I thought about 2.0 and what I could have done better. I tried chacha.com with guide they asked how they could help i typed in my question he immediately brought up 3 different links to help me out. I will definitely try that next time.

monday afternoon

I am sooooo ready to register my blog. I opened an account with flickr and as I was browsing my pictures I noticed down on the bottom it said "Save to del.i.cious" so I did and I opened a del.i.cious account. Just yesterday I opened a "youtube" account so I feel I am on my way.

pictures

adding pictures was kind of hard for me. i think the pictures saved to my computer are to huge. so i opened a flickr account. it was much easier uploading to flickr and copying it into my blog. this is rather addicting. i am anxious to figure out how to register my blog onto the kcls blog.
