RSS and All That Jazz

After reading about all the different readers, I found one that uses the same login name as this blog does. I thought that was a good idea, since logins and passwords are some of my biggest problems. How DO you remember them if you DON’T write them down?

Last night I wanted to add a new book to our bookblog, and it took forever to figure out how to find, then get in to that account. So, the same password on the same account sounds good. Good idea to have bookmarks in the future.

At the same time, I was trying to open the pubyac files to see a Seuss program someone had posted. I don’t exactly know how, but I found it. All this technology is confusing, and …exciting. When I tried to use the rss reader, I was going around in circles with pubyac and google and yahoo and yadayada.

I guess it must be time to get some real life, and go feed the sheep. Today is my first full day back feeding the sheep since November! They were really pushing me around, trying to get the hay. Especially Hazel.

So, I now have google reader, and signed up for the FUN package. Watched a few films, read a few quotes. Signed up for a few blogs. Looks like a lot to attach me to the computer. One thing I was thinking was that I could keep a journal on my Sheep Farm web page. It could somehow go with the Cycle of the Year page.

How would I use RSS feeds in the library world? I expect that I might eventually get to be good enough to show patrons how to do it, especially since they can’t put bookmarks or save things on our computers. I’ll have to think about this. And it’s time to go find other thing 8 comments. Right?

Mr and Mrs Prince

I’m just settling down to read Mr and Mrs Prince, new to our collection. About Abijah Prince and Lucy Terry Prince, who are Guilford personalities, and written by Gretchen Gerzina, who researched some of it while she lived in Guilford, many folks have asked to read it. So we have three copies. And if I can remember how, I’ll put it in the Guilford Bookblog.

Actually, that was the point but I forgot how to get to it. So, I guess I’m still working on thing 7. I did finally figure it out. A person can get really dizzy, whizzing around the web like this. Time to move on to rss. Started the reading, it seems like a handy thing- I guess.
