I enjoyed making a trading card from the website "Dummies Books".

Made with free image tools @ TXT2PIC.com
Gosh! What a "gold mine"--especially with the Custom Sign Generator. I'm always looking for creative ideas for bookmarks. I know that I'll think of something to do with ALL of the cute pictures on these sites. I really had a time getting my design in the blog. Finally, I realized just where you could cut and paste the html. Was I dancing around the house when the trading card "magically appeared" on my blog.

Thing #9-
I read all of the information in Thing #9 but didn't get to post until a few weeks later. So, I had to "re-read" & experience it ALL over again.
My thoughts on Newsreaders.
I liked the "Cool Cat Teacher" because the topics relate to what I do with the library. The site is very current and visited frequently by many people. The points on "Creating your circle of the wise" had some helpful information-look for responsible conversationalist learners. Also, not being so over whelmed with all of the information to read but read "snippits" during the day when you have a few minutes.
I couldn't get the Feedster link to work. I was amazed at how involved Springbranch ISD is with their blogs (366 to be exact). Google Blog Search is very easy to use.
Technorati had so many different feeds to look at but the site was very organized and easy to navigate. I found the news interesting to read. It was a lot more detailed than another site which I have used in the past. Topix has the latest news also. I like this site better.
I found an advertisement of about Webinar 2.0 that I might pursue.
I set up several blogs to read but have forgotten to read Google Reader. Tonight I looked at it and wow, do I have a lot to read. Finally, I opened up Edublogs' award winners and found Vaughn had won the award for librarians and had also blogged about the same library conference that I attended. Her comments about the sessions that she attended were informational because I didn't get to the same sessions.
