#8 Share Your Creations

eFolio Minnesota is especially interesting for those of us who may be looking for a career change or move. The site allows you to make your own interactive web page,which caninclued education, examples of your works -- a myriad of options. This appears to be a very useful tool.

Lazybase looks like a good spot for lists, but Im not sure I need my own database.

I signed up for PictureTrail but was unable to upload my photos.

#7 Web 2.0 Communication

I've checked out 43 folders and Google notebook -- both excellent ways of keeping track of various lists and librarian resources. I've already taught email classes in my library and know how to messange. I IM and text message and have participated in Webinars.

DONE #1 Blog, #2 Read/Watch perspectives, #3 RSS,

I have completed the above items and of course did not list them in the proper manner.

#4-6 Flickr

I have signed up for Flickr -- about a month ago -- and forgot to blog about it. The signing up was much easier than using the many features, however, now that I am in the site I'll have the option of more exploration in the future.

Wikis or die

The wikis I have visited included one just for librarians, and one for beekeepers. I can see how communicating in this manner can be very helpful for specific interests. However, we must remember wikis are created by everyday people, so the information should not be taken as fact. This is not an encyclopedia. Verify all facts and enjoy.

youtube

I've signed up for YouTube and have been enjoying short videos. Now if I was only sure somebody was viewing this blog, I'd be in business. On to the next stick item...

How do I put this on the NLLN site?

I am desperately trying to finish the 23 things, and I have found that the blog I started to begin with, I can't open again. Whereas this blog I can open, but I believe it is to be posted under the NLLN banner. If anyone could straighten me out on this, I'd blog about my experiences with the other stick items I've completed.

Thanks for the help!
