Week 3 - Learning 2.0

Again the value of the course structure comes forward. I have been trying a lot of bits and pieces and found variable quality.
I created an Avatar figure but couldn't get it onto my site. Gave up on this as I wasn't all that amoured by the concept anyway.

Librarything is a dream come true.
Got my Librarything Gadget up and going but also wanted to add a Search Widget. Cannot get this to work and it seems that a widget is different to a gadget and cannot find a search gadget.
I could do with some help on this as I also want to add a cloud; clearly this is possible as I have seen several.

Added snapit with my own button, a connection button and a site linklist plus a quote generator to my site.
Also cleaned it up a bit by working out how to display my slideshow rather than individual slides (but its resolution is too low to really read it).
Realised that my site is a hodge-podge and lacks a theme, but I recon that is for the master class; this class is about learning the possibilities.

Overall just love the ease of all this and noticing how much more integrated the process of implementation is just a few years after I last looked at this stuff. Its magic.

  1. I can't help you with a search widget, but once you've found one see the Adding a Widget post in my blog http://margaretsyprlweb20blog.blogspot.com/2009/03/adding-widget.html
    There's so much to search through and find, isn't there?!

  2. I also created an Avatar figure but had the some problem in that I couldn't figure out how to save it or post it on my blog.

  3. Hi there. For the author cloud I just went into the "Choose style" drop down list to Author cloud and then copied & pasted the HTML code into a new post on my blog making sure I was in the Edit Html tab. Hope this helps.
