A web site called BachelorsDegreesOnline.com has posted a list of 100 Best Blogs for Librarians of the Future and guess who's #100? Yep, that's me! I guess if I'm not #1, #100 isn't a bad spot to be in terms of where you'll get noticed – especially in a list that long. They gave me […]
As is probably quite obvious, I try to post to this blog on a daily basis at the minimum. I occasionally miss the odd day (and even then, I sometimes back date posts the next morning to keep up the daily post record – if you see a post dated anytime within ten minutes to […]
Amazing what getting a mobile phone will do in terms of making your realise that your blog is quite, uhm…heavy…with all kinds of marginally useful widgets, random links and assorted other junk. Luckily, there's a really easy way to use Google Reader to create a poor man's mobile version of your blog.Just bookmark the following […]
Does anyone else see this recent post on my blog as the first result in the Turkish version of Google when you search for “fucks”? Man, that widget down there… —-> …on the lower part of the right hand column that tracks what countries people are hitting my blog from and also occasionally what search […]
