Te Rā Tū – Tuesday 19 August

It's raining again!! and today, I don't feel like putting anymore 'rain pictures' on my post.

So because I put Sookie on my post yesterday, I've decided to put our dog on today's post. She died a couple of years ago, but we still miss Bird, and yes her name was Birdie.

Had a look through the Web 2.0 awards and I like some of the favourites like Bebo , You Tube, Google Earth, as well as Geni, a geneology site. I looked into the Dostoc site, another place that has document templates, anything to make life easier. Finally, the last one I've tried, (for now) was G2Web2, it is awesome, it's a web directory, so I can find just about any site that I want.

The Gadget application is awesome!!! All you do is (1)go to the 'customize bar' at the top right of your blog. Then (2) go to the 'gadget link.' (3) Open it up and in the top right hand corner, is a search bar, (4) type in 'Maori,' (for example) then enter. I found 'He Kupu o Te Ra' that's how one of us got Indian music and another got a gadget that helps her play cords on a guitar.

Thanks Danielle, I really like the article you posted,
Future Proof your Library , so I've created a link.

Te RāTū - Tuesday 12 August

Ok, ok, I adore these little ones, and I do like the photographs in the Te Ao Hou magazine as well.



WOW, I've found the 'gadgets' that are available with our blogs, yehaa. I've added 'He kupu o te Ra,' awesome, as well as a calendar (that's the control person in me), Inspirational Quotes and Pictures, I do like quotes, and photographs, well enough said. That's why I've got Places to See. The reason why I added 'Things to ponder' is because I enjoy those little titbits of info, even though they had to be pretty good, because they came with advertising and I was on the point of not adding them. I've also found all of these library related gadgets, search answers etc, fantastic. Learning to sign, when I have a spare moment. Near the bottom of my blog are Common Craft videos on RSS, Wiki, Social Bookmarking and Podcasting.
