WetPaint

Success! I created my first Wiki. I created a "Invited members" (private) wiki on wetpaint. My idea is to experiment with the wiki to post my personal tips and tricks for faculty, staff, and students.

I began by experimenting with searching for YouTube videos and adding them to 'Video' tab. Took a while to find the "Delete" video to remove one I didn't like.

Next I plan to work through the "Create and Edit a Wiki" document from 13 Things and the Wetpaint 'Tips for a Successful Site'

Wiki - Getting Started with Wetpaint

Frustration ... finally figured out I already had a Wetpaint account after multiple attempts trying to bypass errors in completing the 'create my own free wetpaint wiki' forms. The final tipoff was when the message indicated that my email was already being used. I used Signin 'Forgot your password' link to remedy this.

IRead Wiki comments

IRead Wiki, Iowa librarians' Readers' Advisory, was interesting. I like survivor stories; however, displaying the last edited date (1 year, 7 months ago) is disturbing. Have they not purchased in this area or have they neglected to update the Wiki.

Perhaps a Wiki is better for topics with a limited time period, such as the MLA09 Wiki.

Flickr - Nuuanu Pali lookout near Honolulu

Nuuanu Pali lookout, originally uploaded by CrazyNotion - Miserable with flu.

I experimented with finding photos of Nuuanu Pali State Park near Honolulu for the MLA09 meeting. Thousands of photos...this was a favorite.

I used the info at http://www.flickr.com/help/blogging - "How do I post photos to my blog?' which allowed me to send a test message to the blog which I will leave up and also to blog this photo.

Located at Nuuanu Pali State Park, the lookout overlooks the 985-foot cliffs of the Koolau Mountain Range. (Translated, "pali" means "cliffs.")

Nuuanu Pali State Park is open daily (weather permitting) from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free.

RSS Feeds

I had used Bloglines previously, but stopped -- it was just one more thing to check.
Thanks to Rebecca for creating How to Subscribe to a feed using your iGoogle page . I finally created iGoogle and expect I'll use it.

Glad we created a Google Reader account too.
