The Wonderful World of Wikis

Finally there was a lull in the Reserves coming in and I spent some time working on my Wiki. It was fairly easy to use, although I did have to cheat a few times, by looking at Marical's Wiki and checking out the formatting she used. Better get back to work!

Holy Moly - That was Fun!!


So I have already used Flicker, but then I saw the other additional option to use Picnik - which I had never heard of before. This was such a fun site to use!! You can do all sorts of editing to pictures and the feature that I started playing with was the scrapbooking tool - where I could include a bunch of pictures in one project then manipulate them. I chose four pictures of things I love - Santorini (courtesy of http://www.Santorini.net), and the following artists: Krista Huot, Dale Chihuly (picture I took at Franklin Park Conservatory, Cols., Ohio), and Kurt Halsey.

So much fun, but I better get back to my regularly scheduled programming....Reserves/ILL processing!

(warning, it's addictive!)

Avatar Creation

I had a fun time creating my avatar. I had never made one before and so I used Google to search for some free sites. There were a LOT to choose from. I ended up at the South Park website and found a very neat avatar gadget. I used Microsoft Office Picture Manager to crop my avatar picture.
