Week 5 of 23 Things

Welcome to Week 5 of 23 Things.

Wow, you're halfway home. Are you beginning to feel really hip to the Web 2.0 technologies? I hope so.

How did you do with the blog roll? Basically, the idea there is that you can subscribe to blog feeds via your feed reader (for example, Bloglines) and then share what you like on your blog via a blog roll. You can do this by making whatever blogs you want to share "public" in your Bloglines account. You then copy/paste the link or code into your blog so that your blog lists all of the blogs to which you subscribe that you want to share. Anyways, this was optional, and certainly not necessary for you to complete week 4.

Now on to week 5 - It's Play week!! You are going to have so much fun -

Week 5: Play Week
10. Play around with an online image generator.
11. Take a look at LibraryThing and catalog some of your favorite books.
12. Roll your own search tool with Rollyo.

Please answer in your blog posts this week: What is one practical application for what you’ve learned this week?” Also, continue to share with each other on the participant blogs, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

If you have fallen behind a little, then don’t worry. You can either do week 5 on week 5 and go back and catch up or you can just continue to work at your own pace. Just make sure that you are keeping track of your progress with your tracking log. If you are just now registering your blog, keep in mind that it will not appear on the participant list automatically. I’ll update that when I get back in the office.

Regards,
Jennifer
