Week 1 : Blogger

How could you use this in your role? As a librarian I could use this in both professional development - "my own comments on what's happening in the world of librarianship" - and in my Customer Services role I could use this to keep in contact with some of my 'customers' - like the reading groups...
What worked for you? Making it pretty and selecting what I wanted in there...
What didn't? Having to do it (this was in the first year we did it..) - and I also would prefer it to be more personal than as mentioned above... guess one should have TWO blogs then???
How could a library use a blog? What would customers get out of a library blog? Would you promote this to customers? To all three questions - the first comments apply...
What amazed and surprised me? The amount of blogs out there... a bit like reader's advisory work - it doesn't REDUCE the choices!!!

Time to wake Sissi up again....

I can see it's time to rise and shine and get cracking on the blogging again with Manukau Libraries Web 2.0!! Oooh dear.... don't know how much time I'll have this time round!

A Library or a road?

Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation - Strong Libraries build strong communities - the Latvia story.

New Blogs to follow....

I haven't figured out what to do with that part (Reading List) of the Blogger Dashboard which allows you to keep track of what blogs you wish to "follow". I am using the blog listpart of 'gadgets' to do that - titled as "The Best of The Rest...". Some are really good - some are local New Zealand ones. Have a look.

Editing the blog...

I changed Sissi's Place's header picture. This is Sissi, queen of all she surveys, in our garden. Chases birds when they eat her food, chases cats when the come over the fence, barks and snaps at prickly hedgehogs... all this keeps a lady very busy.
