Week 5 : #11 A Thing About LibraryThing

I have added 6 titles to my LibraryThing library. I learned to change cover designs and delete titles also.

Here is a link to my LibraryThing Library:

http://www.librarything.com/catalog.php

Here is my Standard LibraryThing Widget:



I tried all styles of widgets and they all come out with a vertical list of covers. I wanted horizontal and the preview showed horizontal, but it still shows vertical on this blog. Any suggestions? Vertical alignment is a real space waster.
Enjoy!

Week 5 : #10 Play Around With Image Generators

My "Sea Lion" creation

I went to FD Toys, went into my Flicker account from there, chose the picture I wanted, entered a thought blurb onto my picture, soooo... easy, and then uploaded straight to my blog.

I liked this image generator. I also liked the fact that my Flicker pictures came up all at once as opposed to my Flicker account which shows them one at a time. (Maybe I just don't know how to access them all at once in Flicker.) I did want to look at my picture in a larger format before choosing the text but did not find that option.

In case the link information of the image generator I was using (FD Flicker Toys) doesn't carry over, here it is:

I went into "Captioner".

Week 4 : #9 Finding Feeds

I had no trouble finding feeds in "Bloglines". Out of the other four I had the best luck with "Feedster". Technorati, Topix, and Syndic8 were more trouble than they were worth. I just don't have that much time.

I really have been enjoying the ease of Bloglines. Now, if I could just post from my blog from within bloglines! I always expect these things to do more than they can.

Week 4 : #8 Make life "really simple" with RSS and a news reader

Getting a bloglines account was very easy and I have enjoyed using it. I do tend to get carried away when looking at each site. On the tutorial it said that you could look at these sites without the ads, but I noticed that several sites have managed to get ads in anyway. It certainly cuts down on them though. I have added weather, jokes, comics, news, the iHCPL Learning Experience site, 3 coworkers blogs and my own blog.

It is to easy to use.

Week 3: #7 Photo Editing Tools : Original Picture

This is the original picture before any editing in "picnik".

Week 3: #7 Photo Editing Tools : Edited Picture

Here I have sharpened, cropped and color edited this picture in "picnik". I had absolutely no luck using "snipshot" or "pixer". "picnic" was fairly easy.

Week 3 : #7 Photo Editing Tools

This is my first attempt to change a photo to the grayscale. Obviously it didn't work, but you get to see the original picture of UNT's Homecoming Bonfire.
