MyLibraryDV

How COOL! Watching videos from my computer that didn’t cost me anything or having to leave my house.
I had trouble downloading without Jean's help. Bless you, Jean! When I got to the download part that said, "Run", I needed administrative assistance. So with Jean's help getting past that point, I was on a roll.
I watched a “kids” Caillou movie for a few minutes. Then a John Wayne classic. BUT, Then I watched a bit of, “Sexy & Fit after 40.” Did I say I was older than 40? Sorry. Dave is the trainer. He told me what I already knew – I NEED TO WORK OUT. Shucks, I thought working out in the library, lifting, stooping and carrying arm-loads of books was enough.
MyLibraryDV is cool! Check it out!

It's DEL.ICIO.US!!

Hey everyone, How is your day going? Mine is just ducky, oh, I mean, Del.icio.us!!
Figuring task "Thing8" out, was not that easy. I did figure it out though. I put, just for now, 3 websites on my del.icio.us account.
I think del.icio.us is a very valuable tool. One night while working on my home computer I wanted to look at some preschool storytime sites that I had added to my favorite list on my library computer. Do you think I could find those when I was at my home computer? NO.
Well, del.icio.us is a wonderful tool/program to sign-up for. I now can get my favorite websites on any computer I work from. Awesome!!
One of the websites I put on my account is the "city of Wasilla". There are 3 other people on there besides me.
I also put this training website on my account.
Yes, I really feel this is a wonderful site. I'm not sure how to use it for our patrons though. We already provide them with sites right as they log on to the computer.
Check it out, it's DEL.ICIO.US!!

LibraryThing - Group

Good morning,
Where's the coffee? While exploring LibraryThing I discovered a new group, The Coffee Trader. Right up my alley!! This group will be reading the novel, the Coffee Trader by David Liss. I think I am going to join them.
Also, while exploring the LibraryThing, there were no local events going on. I think Wasilla should list something. ?
Have a wonderful day. Florence

Google Reader

It's amazing what you can do these days about getting organized. I love Google Reader. I can follow along with certain library's storytimes, etc. But, I would like to know how to post my subcriptions to my Blog sidebar.? I want you guys to know what I've subscribed too. (Not that you want to know.) :)
Would someone show me how to do that?

"Getting Started"

I have been kinda slow getting my blog started. I was feeling, do I really push this button or choose this one? But I think I'm on "my way." Woo! Hoo!
I'm glad that I can change things around later if I need too.
