Thing #27. Photobucket

Found this an extremely confusing and irritating site, made worse by the continually flashing pop-up windows that will not go away!
Managed to save a few images to an album, but they did not end up in the album I created for them.

Altogether very frustrating!

Thing #26 Yourminis

Found this quite fun but a bit overwhelming - where to start and stop.
Liked the idea of creating your own links to the Internet eg. chose "cover art' as a widget and then book covers, and was then able to open up the link from each book cover into the Amazon page with all the book's details.
Not totally sure when I would use this. Seems like creating a visual "Favourites' tab.

Thing #25 Letterpop

Quite fun creating a "newsletter" in letterpop, although mine is more like a tourist advertisement. Could be useful for all sorts of publicity on the library webpage, and I presume you could create and print off small posters for use in the library.

But did not find the editing screen easy to follow and the background colour I chose does not seem to have happened at all.

Now, though, cannot find how to link it to my blog. Any suggestions?

Thing #24

Managed to change a file type and the process seems very quick and easy. Unfortunately I really don't have much idea about different file types and all their uses, so at this point I am not sure what applications this would have in the library.
Obviously I need to find out more! Any suggestions?
