Blog Thoughts for Library2.Oakton

Well it is the end of the week for my blogging project, and (if you can't tell) I'm loving having my own blog. People are so nice about leaving feedback, and many people have made great suggestions to improve my page. My friend Carla recommended that I simplify the side bar. I'm planning on trying that in the future. Right now, I'm having too much fun playing with it. In fact *blush*, I added more instead. Oh, the pictures on the side bar are ones I took a few years ago that I am proud of.

Blogging is a cool way to share your thoughts and feelings on different topics. I love having comments on my thoughts, too. That's a great way to learn and share ideas. I had no problem setting up my page, but I'm a computer geek with a math background, so things that were easy for me may not have been so easy for others.

I can see how a blog would be a great marketing tool for the library. It really can spark interest from the public, and it is a fast way of communicating new programs. Plus, professionals can use it to communicate ideas, thought processes, nifty tips and tricks to help others, etc.

I'm looking forward to next weeks project. :-)

I think it's a good idea experiment with all the various "page elements" that are available on blogger. even if you don't end up using everything, you know what's possible, right?

i'm glad you're having fun blogging :)

Thanks! It means a lot to me that people are reading my blog and enjoying it. Even though we are done with the Library 2.0 program, I still love blogging, and I try to write something at least once a week. I'm hoping to work back up to 2-3 times a week, but my work load makes it near impossible at the moment. It's always good to have a goal in mind, though. :-)
