-Zemanta, a Pie Chart, a Video Bar, Images, and a list of favorite sites.
It has been fun blogging with you!
Even thought the course is over, I will keep on blogging!

It is getting close to the end of the semester. I am trying to finish/clean everything up. It has been a learning experience that has given me a much bigger picture of the tools that are available to help me retrieve, store and use information. I know that these tools will prove beneficial in my job as a librarian.

Today I have been trying to add some sound to my Web Page. I am working on adding some Jazz music. I have some links to different components to my web page, but today I am working on establishing tables to add a toolbar. I have been close with both of these endevors, but I am not there yet. If I figure it out, I will let you know what was successful. Stay tunned.

Today I have added a video bar on the subject of Web Design.
I love the one Titled "Design Code." It is a man who rappes a song that is all about web designing. You have to check it out.

I have been having some trouble getting my information sent to the Pitt server. Friends have been very helpful. I follow all of the procedure that have been stated, but my computer isn't cooperating with me. I am going to keep at it.

Well, I am getting my portfolio together. Here is the URL if you would like to check it out! (Still working on it!)

I am teaching myself how to develop a chart on Google docs and add it to my blog. A chart put on a blog can changed and automatically updated on my blog.
For the purpose of this experiment, I have developed my pie chart based on the % of our grade that each assignment is worth.

Image via Wikipedia I just installed Zemanta. I am trying it for the first time tonight. Since we are learning about HTML and Web Designs I thought that I would try plugging in those words in this text in hopes that we could get some links on those subjects.

I am still working on the Thoreau assignment, but I have been working on my portfolio at the same time. Tonight I taught myself how to add the Google search bar to my home page on my web site. It was sooo exciting when it worked.

I have started working on making my Portfolio of the course on my own web site. I have used google creator. It is a fun and easy program to work with. Know, I am trying to work through how to make it into a Html (I think I need to use Kompozer) and then I will download it into my documents and then onto the Pitt server. I think I am on the right track. I am trying to work things out by reading all of the discussion board comments and questions. Also, a friend at work has been giving me some tips. Wish me luck!

I have started working on the web design assignment. I have been reading books and exploring google creator. My web page has been established, now I need to figure out how to develop it.

Hello Blog!
I just got back from the on campus visit. It was nice to see everyone and compare notes on completing the next few assignments. My family came with me on this visit. We stopped at Frank Loyd Wright's "Fallingwater" on the way in. Then, we went to a Pirates game on Sat. night. We ate at the well known "Original" hot dogs in Oakland and we tried "The Primanti" sandwiches at the Pirates game. We had a lot of fun getting to know the city.

It rained at Dorney, but it was awesome! As I was running through the rain to get to the car I realized that sometimes when things seem like they can't get any worse, you realize how great they are!

July 4, 2008

I stayed up late last night and finished the assignment, so as a treat I get to go to Dorney Park today (worry free!) I hope everyone enjoys their 4th of July celebrations!

Here is the link to my Virtual Shelf on Koha!

I have been preparing myself to do the Koha Assignment. I decided to pick entries related to Web Designs. I was thinking that I may be needing some of these book soon, so finding appropriate ones through this assignment would come in handy. I know that there is no repeats, so I hope that this is not a popular subject amongst us. I have picked several books out and I have written down their ISBN #'s. So, the game will begin!!

I can't believe that it is July already! It makes me realize that our next visit is sooner than I thought. I am looking forward to visiting again. I am going to go to the Baseball game. My Husband, son and daughter are coming in with me for this visit. My cousin and his family (who live in Latrobe) are coming in to Pittsburgh to join us at the Baseball game too.
