Life in the library-image generators

Can't seem to get #10 to work. I messed around with a couple of them, but when I try to move it to my blog, it never shows up. Trading card maker was kind of fun.

Life in the library- Delicious

This is more like a gossip/news site, but I guess that's social networking. There's a LOT of stuff to look at and read. I could see me using it, but like I do Google news.

Finally got it working, though it took me a while. It doesn't look the way I want it to, but can't help that.

Life in the library #9

More Flickr fun- I must confess I just found this to be confusing, not fun. I did see a couple that might be of some use in the library. Fotocrib and mosaickr. The mosiackr might just be something my husband would like of some of the family photos.

life in the library- thing 23

I feel like I've learned a lot. I really enjoyed it. I'd do it again in a flash. Most of the 23 things I had heard of just never got brave enough to try them.Now I've done it.

life in the library-podcasts #22

I like several of these. There are sooooo many of them. Who knew? I put in book review podcasts. Found a really cool one on Neil Gaiman, the Newberry Medal winner.

In other news, is there other news? No weather realted info here this week, but pretty much anywhere else there is.

Life in the Library-you tube-

We have a library video. Surprising you might say, yes it is. My daughter made the video I can't claim credit for that. Since I have two teens, "you tube" has been a part of any computer they use for quite some time. Mom also had to learn it as well from them, of course.

Life in the library, Web 2.0 apps

I tried out a few of them. My Heritage seemed to pretty easy to use. I didn't find out much. It couldn't find any of my family members. Guess I should have tried my husband's family. Also tried

Wow, Monday's weather was a bit more than what I was looking for. Wind and snow came through here about 50 mph, the highways all closed due to extremely poor visibility and cars off to the side all over the place. But the library was OPEN. Luckily, for a number of people I was stupid (lucky)enough to get to work on Monday. When the highway closed down,the rescue people and fire dept sent everyone who was trying to get on the highway (275) back to Pilger. They were told to either go to the store, cafe or the library. I normally close at 6:00. Monday night I didn't lock the doors until about 9:00. My daughter, myself and three other stranded travelers were all prepared to sleep on the library floor with blankets provided by the fire dept. A local lady stopped by and insisted we come to her house. We all did. Maybe I'm a bit to dedicated.

Life in the Library- zoho, google docs

Tried both of them , both very similar to use and seem simple if you have done any word processing at all. Wow, I like this!. It would be great to be able to access my info from anywhere without having to worry about having my flash drive. It would also be good to know it would be saved in case something happened to my computer. I'm thinking of ours at home, it is quite aged, about 10 years old. Even though I have stuff backed up I worry about losing it, or not being able to access it, which has happened in the past.
I knew this was out there, just never got brave enough to try it.
