Week 7: Technorati

I found different results for each search in both keyword and advance searches. I even managed to find 1 result for nswpln2008.
However I was not successful in leaving a comment on the nswpln2008 blog page. What was doing wrong?

Week 7: Del.icio.us

Interesting... delicious is great, it could work well as a research assistance, finding web sites and online material. A useful tool in libraries, great for helping users to seek the information required, fulfilling their needs. Even good for teachers who want to supply their students or parents with links to useful educational sites.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I can't seem to put a link onto my blog for my delicious account.


Ok I think I finally have help.... on Creation's blog I found the following "The way to set up link to my del.icio.us bookmarking account in this post is as follows: go to del.icio.us, sign in your account, go to help and go to a guide to sharing bookmarks, got to Linkrolls , then copy the above HTML code from there and paste in your blog post(in Edit Html window)"

Here is my Link My del.icio.us

Week 6: Videos

Ah, loved this...I've used youtube before but not Google video. This could be useful the library web page with videos of author talks, or even workshops/training to help HSC students with report writing, how to write essays, tips for studying or ways to relieve stress while studying for HSC.
Here goes to see if I can embed a video into my blog. A month or so ago I was unable to do it and just left a link to a video I enjoyed.




I have finally done it....Yahoo...I'm happy with my results

it's been a while

It has been a while since I have posted to my blog, although I have slowly been progressing through the weeks, I had forgotten my password for my blog and was only able to log on from home. But with uni and family commitments that has been rather impossible. I'm hoping to post as must as possible in the next few days...to hopefully catch up!

Page Counter

While playing on the net and visiting other bloggers I noticed a few of them had page counter (not Web 2.0'ers) and thought this was a great way of knowing how many people visit my blog. Adding a page counter is so easy to do.
If you look to the right, below my page counter there is a link "free link". Once you have hit the all you have to do choose the style you want, then add a few details of where you want the link. I opened and signed into my blog then selected customise/page layout/add a page element. This is where I added my title and copied and pasted jargon from "easy hit counters" and saved...and just like magic...it was all done for me.
Have a go and let me know what you think.

Week 4 : RSS

Mmmm. I enjoyed this one... however I did research further using Google to make sure I was well informed. Two web site that I liked and thought the information was easy to understand were software garden and news. This site had a list of RSS feeds that were Australian and easy to subscribe to.

I think it is good that you can keep up-to-date with your favourite sites and latest information or news. Although I'm not sure how much I would use it or if I would have the time, I may be more inclined to use my bookmarks, at least it is one lest thing that I need to log into and remember login or passwords to.
I have subscribed to RSS feeds that I'm interested in and will keep an eye on them in the next few days, helping to decide whether or on rss is for me or not. I tried both ways of subscribing to RSS, by clicking on the little orange icon or by copying and pasting the URL of the site I was interested in into my bloglines feed, both ways I found easy.

Sort Of Dunno Nothin'

You just have to have a look at this….

If you have or had have teenage children you will appreciate this video from youtube... I have two teenage children and just loved this...it is so true...exactly what they sound like! Kids!!!
I was listening to Richard Glover on ABS Sydney when I heard this...the video is on many sites and has been viewed by over 200,000 viewers. It has even been viewed on channel 7, on the morning show.

I’m sure teenagers think it’s silly, however many teachers and parents have phoned into the radio station to say… they love it or can relate to it…

I think it is pretty good… considering Peter Denahy the guy the wrote it and sings it solo…(even the teens part) is not even a parent his self.
