Task 11

Google Books is interesting but a bit frustrating - find an interesting book but only get a snippet. I created my library and will add more to it.

Task 10

I have joined LibraryThing - had a lovely wander around. Here is the link to my library http://www.librarything.com/catalog/noela34

It is hard to choose favourite books - changes with the season and my mood.

Task 9

I have just had to tell google that my blog isn't a spam blog. I think this was activated by the button at the top left "Flag blog" or something. I hope all will be ok. Anyway, onward with the 23 things.... Have just added a feed from digg.com. What an amazing amount of "stuff" available.

Went to look at Syndic8.com - not available - backing up
then went on to Feedster which had the following information: Feedster Quietly Dies... So Which Blog Search Engine Do You Use? Written by Richard MacManus / November 21, 2007

Not doing too well, but still I can get the RSS feeds I am interested in.

Task 8

Have just added some RSS feeds. I am sure there is a way to do this without having long lists down the page. Will have to investigate.

Task 7

Have just added a Blogroll to my blogger - getting there slowly. I got the information from google.

UQ Library 23 things - Task 6

Hi
I have just found Trip Planner by Yahoo! Travel - part of Flickr Services
This is the explanation from the website:

"Trip Planner is a website that lets you build a travel itinerary with your hotel, nearby restaurants, attractions, maps, driving directions and more! When you return home, create a photo set of your trip on Flickr then show them off as part of your trip plan."

My sister and her husband had a 3 month trip to England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. They sent regular long emails about their travels, but this would have been great for them and would have been a great momento afterwards.

I also found the colour picker and enjoyed playing with the colour combinations.

UQ Library 23 things task 5

Hi, I have created a Flickr account and changed some of the preferences. It's an interesting concept, but if I wanted to share my photos I would definitely create a group and make it private.
I found a really great photo on Flickr
