Zoho Writer As you can see my attempt at blogging my document from Zoho Writer was partially successful, but more practice will be necessary. I do like the concept and will certainly play with this when time permits.

Zoho writer #1
Zoho Writer
Another web-based application that will be really useful in all sorts of situations. I suppose it will take a little time to play with, but it has a great layout and clearly indentifiable buttons.
I really like the smiley face feature and the ability to easily insert tables.
Of course the value of this application will only be known if I use it frequently, so I have tagged it.

#16 & #17 Wikis & Playing around with PBWiki
Wikis - best known and much touted by teenagers for quick reference, Wikipedia is a clear and easy to use site. There are many applications in the library world where this web site could operate with minimum effort; readers reviews, bookclub conversations, etc. I expect our own newly designed homepage will incorporate these features in some form.
Playing around with PBWiki - I added a comment in Favourite Vacation spots and attempted to added blog to Favourite Blogs page. Three tries later and the help of my fifteen year old son, I managed it using the Link button instead of the [http://annbelleshouse.blogspot.com] instruction. No matter, it's on and I'm onto the next lesson!

#13 Tagging, Folksonomies& Technorati
Time's running out, but this week's work has unearthed many websites for me to revisit.
Del.icio.us is definitely a worthwhile one, and I have added the buttons to my browser toolbar. This is one my teenage children could use for their research at school and then access at home. The ability to tag and organise their bookmarks into suitable headings (of their own design), podcast, share with friends etc. is a real winner.
Technorati is a monitor of webblogs and a great place to visit, however, as with so many sites, time disappears. Searched for references to Rudd, added them to my Del.icio.us account, in the press of a button, and VOILA! Will be journeying to this website again.
Library 2.0 & Web 2.0 are many things, some new and some merely extensions of the present state of play. The most radical is the greater access of the public to the control of the library's direction, the interactivity and the need to open doors to quick and easy information retrieval. The most important asset is an open mind, an ability to let go of ownership and a willingness to embrace change.

Books, books, books!!!!!
I am trying to place these book covers on the blog rather than let it all happen on the side panel, as it's becoming boring. Layout probably isn't so important, but it certainly is more interesting to me.
#11 All about Library Thing and Rollyo
Playing with this is ok, but it's not very useful right now. I'll try to show some of my favourite books on the blog, and think of a use for Rollyo.So many accounts I'll need to start a bank!

Image Generators
#10 Image generators
November 1 later on.......
Managed to upload the image from easystreet, but had no luck with other generators. I made a great emo, but couldn't add him to my blog, so I will try again at a later date. I need more time to play........
