Today I completed #7....adding 5 new feeds...library of congress, us news, hickory daily record, cnn and genealogy. Some of them still look mostly like jibberish to me. Headlines read ok but can't get into the article. Not sure what's going on. I can't imagine me trying to check these sites everyday. Waaaay toooo muuuuch information! Even tho I know it's trying to filter all the info that's out there. Bloglines was the easiest for me to search.

It's been a few days since I've blogged. Today I am following 3 bloggers who are doing NE learns 2.0. And I have subscribed to a few feeds...library stuff and cnn.com. In looking at them in bloglines some of them look like jibberish. Not sure why???? I might ask Allana. But the bloggers did appear here on the blog site. So that will be interesting to see how they are doing...if they are as new to this as I am. Anyway....I think I have completed #6...let's see. Yep, I have subscribed to 3 participants blogs...added the Lincoln Journal Star, cnn.com, and unshelved as well as the NLC. And I have created a post in my blog about this assignment. Not really sure if our computer users here at the library will be into this or not. I do know of one lady who does blog. That's about it. I think she does it mostly at her personal computer at home. She just does it here if her computer is down.

Read the instructions again for #5. For our library we will have to change the policy. Right now we do not allow instant messaging or chat rooms. It is certainly something the board is going to have to discuss. I can certainly see where it is great to have an on-going conversation with someone without have to go thru e-mail. We'll have to see what the board says. The times, they are a-changin!

OKAY!!!! Today I made contact with Allana with IM!!! Yipee!!!!!That's another thing I can cross off the list! This is like keeping a journal....something I haven't done in a number of years. Writing has always come easy though, so trying to make a note of my progress shouldn't be a problem. It's getting through the item # that's the hard part!!!!

Made it through librarian convention. I think my presentation on George Flippin was well received.
Now it's back to blogging and #5 on the list of 23! Yesterday I helped Diana create a blog. Learned a couple of things from that....so maybe I did learn a thing or two on #'s 3 and 4.

Finally I got into my blog from my work computer! What a mess! But somehow I came, I saw, I conquered!!!! Not sure how I did it. Try, Try, Try again!

OKAY...I have figured out how to post these to my blog and read them. As I make my way through this course hopefully I will see progress in my blogging. We'll see in a few weeks as I look back on the entries. Now I wonder if I can do this on my computer at work. I'll check today when I go in. It's tough to be an immigrant to the world of technology!

October 15, 2008 This is crazy. Yesterday I couldn't sign in to my account on my computer at the library. I was so frustrated! It kept saying my user name and password did not match. Now here I am at home....5AM and I can get on here! I'll have to ask Allana tomorrow at convention what I am doing wrong.

Again it's 5am and I think I have figured out my blog URL. Geesh this is hard for an old lady!

Okay...so it's early morning and I have made a blog. Now what do I do with it?

I think I am confused to put it mildly. How do I leave a post?

How do I connect with Nebraska Learning 2.0? All these questions

and so little time!

I can't believe I've just created a blog. Not sure how I did it. But here goes.
