www.ImageGenerator.org.



Generator Guy shared a great website with me that is just chock full of great image generators. I made this one there.

Week 6 Thing 13

I really like Del.icio.us. What a great way of making your bookmarks portable. It would have come in handy when I left CTR because I had a lot of bookmarks to transport. It took me ages to type them up in a word document, and I had to save them onto 3 (count them) THREE different floppy discs. And after all that work, I rarely pull them out and use them because they are so unwieldy. What a difference Del.icio.us would have made to me then! I set up an account and tagged several sites. I even added a Network Badge to my profile. Now if I can just remember the address, ANOTHER sign-on and password...

Week 5 Thing 12

I just finished up with Rollyo. I created a search roll for recipes and one for J and YA Reader's Advisory with all my favorite websites on it. It was very easy to do and I put it on my blog so now I have access to all those sites no matter where I am! I can remember back when I was in CTR this would have come in very handy for a "This Day in History" search roll. We always got a lot of questions about that and I had a ton of sites bookmarked. It would have been nice to have clumped them all together into one nice neat little "roll".

Week 5 Thing 11

I lurve, lurve, lurve, Library Thing. I have been hearing about it on Fiction L for quite a while and never really had the time to explore, but this assignment MADE me take the time. Boy am I glad. What a cool site. I think that Library Thing will help me keep track of my Great Books reading. I had a lot of fun adding books to my catalog and I added a Library Thing search box to my blog right above the button that links to my very own catalog. Fun, fun, fun.



Week 5 Thing 10

Okay, how much much fun is this? Image Generators are a blast! I made my Avatar at Meez.com and that was just too cool. It was like virtual paper dolls. I had a hard time deciding on a final look. I wanted something flashy for my Header and I found that at notcelebrity.co.uk. And then at http://www.redkid.net/generator/sponge/ I found Spongebob! What more could I possibly want? RedKid had a bunch of image generators like the fortune cookie and Scooby Doo. I had a lot of fun with that site.

Week 4 Thing 9

Just finished up with Merlin and the feed search tools. The feed search tools did not give me too much trouble. I liked Topix and Syndic8. Something about the layout of those two just worked better for me. The other two did not appeal to me. And as for Merlin... Well, just let me say, I understand why Nimue locked that grouchy old wizard in the cave! My only regret is that he managed to escape. I had no trouble finding the RS feed for the site because it is located on the change password page, which I visited on numerous occasions. After the FIFTH time that I changed my password and Merlin STILL refused to recognize it, I decided I just wasn't going to have an account, so whatever magical services are available behind the veil will forever remain a mystery to me.
