Thing #1 - Blogs

Wow - blogging is cool! Okay, I haven't actually done much, but I've checked out formatting my page and adding cool tools (yes, the graphics person in me comes out in exploring new applications!)! AND I just realized that I can babble babble babble on a blog without anyone interrupting!!

I only sampled one library blog other than our own, and it was too technical for me to understand, although I did appreciate the clean format and graphics, as well as the way it was written - unfortunately, they were talking about tech things that I don't understand (yet)...

Our library blog (both Blogger Book Club and What's New) are a bit boring looking, but they're very informative. Again, I'm very visual, so if it doesn't look easy to read and very clean, I don't look twice. But I think it's a great way to get information to the public.

One thing that is not entirely clear to me - does the public subscribe to a blog and get emails when it's updated or have the posts emailed to them, or do they have to check it out every day to see if something has been added? If I have to check it each day, I'll forget - I need the email reminder of the content or that a new post has been added for me to look at. But I think there is a wealth of knowledge to share, and this is a good avenue for it!
