Thing 4 - Flickr

I love Flickr, I have visited many sites in the last year, mostly crafty things. I was able to open an account and add pictures easily and with no problems at all. I'll want to bring in my own pictures (besides my bookmobile ones) to load up and organize.

However, I did have problems adding another person's picture from flickr to my blog. I got a message saying I didn't have enough storage. It was a really great picture of an artist's space, featuring a card catalog for storage. I'll work on it again, but I feel like if I spend too much time right now, I'll never get around to other Things that I could do more quickly.

I'll definitely do more on my flickr account, and can't wait to poke around and see more of others' pictures!

I have a card catalog at home, too. It's filled with fabulous crafting supplies and strange collections. I would love to have a room just for my supplies, and to have it look as tidy and sweet as this.

Thing One-again

I supervise a small group of "pages" (shelvers) who are usually at the library when I am not. They don't all have email address, and I was feeling disconnected from them. I didn't feel like I could "catch" all of them when I had a new task or alternate directions, so I created a blog that is posted on the computer where they sign in and out for each shift. It's only been up a few weeks, but they are reading it, and I've had some responses back. It seems to be working for us as a way of communicating remotely!
