Thing # 10 Online Image Generators

I enjoyed exploring thing #10, because the image generators allow you to create wacky and funny images to showcase on your blog. I created a sportscard for one of our retired librarians.

Thing #9 Finding useful library blogs and RSS feeds

I found several useful feeds and have added them at the bottom of the page. Feel free to scroll down to and see these useful feeds about news in the library.

Thing # 8 RSS Feeds

RSS feeds make the gathering of information easier and faster. Now you do not have to navigate away from one page to see what is happening in another. The information is now coming to you instead of you having to hunt it down. This makes navigating the net more user friendly.
