Whoopee I can Wiki!

I can't help myself, I had to put w words in my title - sorry.
I'm doing this at a quiet branch on the weekend. I wish I'd read ahead and got the invite key during the week, and I could have finished the whole thing today. I sent the email for the invite key about half an hour ago, but I guess the good folks at the State Library aren't on call 24/7 to await my email.

Thank God Wikis are easier than both RSS and blogging photos, I'm still getting over the effort of those.

Seriously loved Wookieepedia,http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page I wonder if they've done one for Star Trek? I also checked out the Montana History wiki,http://montanahistorywiki.pbwiki.com/ as I have a cousin who lives there, and the full Library Success http://www.libsuccess.org/index.php?title=Main_Page because as those that know me realise, I just burn with ambition.

I guess sharing research is the Captain Obvious answer, particulary local history, which is often really "bitty" Publishing family histories could also be good. The branch is about to close so I may add more later.

Practice!!

Being a melbourne girl at heart, who could resist a tram! This is an extra practice entry because it didn't upload a photo properly before.
This tram is the sort I used to catch to secondary school, and I think I recognise the building as being on Glenhuntly Rd. I think it is part of the tram depot. Such fun - on to wikis!

Shallow and brain dead!

Well I liked RSS once I got the hang of it, but it took me TWO 1 hour lunch breaks and several 15 minute slots. If I'd managed to read the bit in subscribe first, about how to add the sub with bloglines button into favourites, it would have all been good much sooner.

I think I read someone else's idea that a library newsletter blog/ rss feed would be useful linked to the library's web site, but this is what I also see as a really exciting way to make our library site interactive and used apart from being linked to the webcat.

I'm shallow in my choice of sites - I got the powerhouse museum one as asked, the Helen Blowers one 'cause I'm a responsible librarian, ABC news Just In because I usually read that anyway, Blognews because it was there, AND Hollywood celebrity gossip which is the one I'll read the most.
