Well actually I haven't!! I was playing around with image chef and realised after a lot of errors that I wasn't registered and therefore couldn't access the site!! However my brain did eventually click into action and voila - came up with my 'award' picture. Hope you like the picture of me sitting in my flower garden. I don't have my honey pot with me as I didn't want to appear as if that is all I ever do - eat honey!!!!
In some way I feel relieved the course is over but I will miss seeing what new sites and activities I have to discover. I certainly feel a lot more confident trying out different modes of accessing information. I am enjoying facebook and dare I say it - podcasts!! Image chef is affiliated with my space I have since found out and that is something I didn't know before.
I don't think I will be using everything I have learnt as I don't have to use the computer as such at work. Well, at least not yet!! I have enjoyed writing in my blog and I believe I will keep it active if only to save for my grandchildren to read one day!!!!!! Not that I have any yet but I am forever hopeful. I wonder if I could save my blog to the memory stick should I receive one??
I will miss emailing the friendly web 2.0 team. They have been very supportive especially when I have grumped and moaned and got frustrated!! Thank you team. I think my favourite sites would be the ones like image chef where I could create something. The searchrolls are handy to record all my books or is that rollyo. Oh dear I am getting a bit confused. I am going to go back over my blog posts slowly and just take my time to have a look at sites properly. I have felt I needed to rush to get the exercises done before the next week but now I don't have to so I am much more relaxed. Everything I learnt has been a surprise for me as I haven't encountered these sites before, only heard of some of them.
That's it. I have done my dash. Cheerio and lots of lovely honey kisses to you all.

Well alright I have looked a bit more into podcasts!! But this time i googled podcasts and went into BBC Radio 5 live site. It was interesting in that it had the story of the day. That was lovely to listen to. Here is the URL if you want to listen too. http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/fivelive/5lsotd/rss.xml It's about Christine and Chester. And here is another one on book reviews and interviews with the authors. Great site!http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/fivelive/books/rss.xml This one has definitely gone to my bloglines.
Maybe now that I know what I am doing I might enjoy podcasts a bit more!

I think social networking in libraries would be great especially for teens. They are always on the computer and what better way to communicate with them than through sites such as myspace or facebook. Teens are inherently lazy (personal opinion here!) and if it means that they don't have to 'go' anyway to gather information then surely they will love being a 'friend' of the library. As teens are also known to do a lot of grunting as opposed to speaking social networking would be wonderful for them as they wouldn't have to utter a single word!!!
