John M. did a post about Michael Gorman after hearing about one of his books on my blog. To keep the cross-blog dialogue flowing, I thought this might be a fitting time to post a comment I made about Gorman on our “Advocacy in Libraries” message board. I posted the following on the week we […]
The “daily post” streak continues although I probably have done a few “after midnight posts for the previous day” in the last couple months. If it's time stamped 11:59pm, that's probably a pretty big clue. I think it'll be a big step when I just let the streak go, I think. In the meantime, here's […]
Amanada Etches-Johnson who I referenced in my last post, also points out that: TangognaT reminds us that it’s National Delurking Week. If you’re a lurker, hello! Say “hi” in the comments, won’t you? I have another idea. I posted a “Virtual Baby Guess Book” contest a couple weeks ago. Maybe because it was the holidays, […]
Amanda Etches Johnson did a post today where she mentioned the “Top 10 Blog Usability Mistakes”. I'd seen this before and intended to do something in response but never got around to it. But there's no time like the present.1. No Author BiographyWell, contrary to some people who think this blog is purely an exercise […]
Found this via another site. It uses the number of sites linking to your blog to calculate a value for that blog. (I guess my IPO will be a bit longer in the making. LibrarianActivist on the other hand… ) Head Tale My blog is worth $7,339.02.How much is your blog worth? LibrarianActivist.org […]
This is a bit of an old story by now but Time magazine recently named “You” as their “Person of the Year”. Many people reacted to the decision negatively saying it was a cop-out and the ultimate gimmick to sell magazines from a magazine that arguably hadn't chosen the proper newsmaker of the year since […]
…sometimes you have absolutely nothing to say. (I've got a fun one lined up for tomorrow though – promise!) For some reason, this emptiness of ideas inspired me to check my stats. As I suspected, my number of “unique visitors” are down by about 2/3 from an all-time high right around that “50 Ways To […]
So it's 3:45am on December 28 and I'm back in my own bed after a few days of riding the sleigh around SE Saskatchewan (well, to Shea's parents in Weyburn, my parents in Indian Head then back to Regina today.) Right now, I'm surfing around to catch-up on my regular blogs and here's some of […]
We Made It!Well, we made it. Our last couple days in London were pretty hectic with packing and last minute stuff but, like anything, it got done. Dumpster Diving ReduxAt the start of the year, I couldn't believe how many people threw out perfectly good stuff but by the time we left, I understood why. […]
I also like the beer stein. Highbrow | T-shirts, mugs, mousepads & gifts(Thanks to Meshell for the tip!)And here's the reason my entries have been a bit on the light side the past couple days. (Who knew you could have 40 tabs open in Firefox at a time?) Our mini-conference for LIS532, the joint class […]
