RSS feeds and library blogs

Had already subscribed to a feed or two. Have now added Dilbert and Information Wants to be Free - I came across the Library Success wiki some time ago and found it very useful. Created by the same librarian as this blog. And finally, will I ever be free of information?

Floored George following #7

Yep! You can really see just how floored George (known to most as Georgina) was after the #7 experience - off her food as well. I'm actually quite concerned for her - wonder if there's a blog on dog depression. Maybe I'll check it out in the next exercise - could be real possibilities there. . . anything called a Feed can't be all bad. Chin up, George! (You see, poor George has had a sheltered life really - still hasn't recovered from her first www upset ie. the Google discovery that she belongs to a species officially called "canis vulgaris'. She was off her shredded best beef for days)

#7 dog in fog

This is one dog in the (blog) fog . . . and nothing at all to do with Polish beer.

Something technology-related? Hmmm. . . how about a few fun facts from Technorati, the site originally set up to 'blogwatch'. Here I learnt that there are now about 70 million blogs, appearing at the rate of about 120,000 a day. And there are splogs, the parasites of the blogosphere, appearing much more during the holidays (when the kids are bored and need something to do?). The Japanese seem to be blog-crazy, with 37% of all blogs being in Japanese, followed by English, Chinese and Italian. And I can usefully add that Farsi is number 10.

And then, at the page on popular blogs we have the "most linked to" and the "most favourited". Us blog dogs love the potential of the English language, but George and I were floored to discover that one of the most favourited was a cat blog (#13) - and more highly ranked than Dilbert. Seriously floored! (Any day now, you can meet my friend George). Just so much "stuff"!

Mosaic mashup

Done. . .finally!
Not without angst though - 3 attempts before I got the hang of how to make appropriate attributions to the photographers. My favourite title is no. 12 Downtown Church with Zooming Cab - has that 'je ne sais quoi' ring!

1. Pre Rup portal, 2. First Class, 3. Trogir, 4. 30 - 6342, 5. Church Doors Closed, 6. welcome..., 7. can i live here?, 8. Upper East Side Apartment, 9. red doors galore, 10. Untitled, 11. Untitled, 12. Downtown Church with Zooming Cab, 13. Downtown Church, 14. two, 15. The Doors of Hope, 16. Four door saints

Still Flickr-ing

Exploration = travel for the purpose of discovery (so say multiple Google dictionary options). I have discovered that there is a lot to discover - lots of poorly-lit byways, laneways and alleys to go down and get lost in. So I'm still Flickr-ing . . . but thing #6 is a long way from thing #23. I had better get to mashing something up.

#5 Flickr exploration no.1

On Flickr, discovered a few quick things.
1. Dogs Rule! (bigger than cats, elephants, horses and other species). Even so, I haven't joined a Flickr dog group. I have enough friends for now.
2. Striatic, the bowler-hat-wearing technical editor of How to use Flickr and a FlickrCentral Moderator, needs to bone up on his geography just a tad. Inviting all new Flickr-ers to go on a world tour using geographical tags, he provides several travel options by continent, citing two Downunder locations that new travellers might want to visit - Melbourne and Cambridge! Then again, maybe that was Cambridge, Tasmania.
3. I could create a Flickr account so I did. It has one photo - my best friend George in reclining position.

***dogboy***

Self-portrait here is meant to be in my profile... doggone it! Could I see how to get it there? Followed instructions, fetched something from cybersomewhere, got excited, wagged my tail heaps, teetered on edge of achievement as I hit that "publish" button . . . had to have some Smackos to recover from the disappointment!!
Any hot tips on how to get my fetching features into my profile?? (Will even take advice from cats)
