Survey Working Again

The Dog Survey is up and working again. Also, I joined a group on Library Thing. Cool place to discuss children's literature with other professionals. Also, cool way to create rotating, topical book suggestion list for blogs. I like this tool a lot.

Dog Survey Disabled

I tried to check on results from the Dog Survey I created with SurveyMonkey, and discovered that I couldn't get to the survey using the link that I was providing. It seemed like the link wasn't working, it would just take me to SurveyMonkey's Homepage. I will try to fix it, but I'm not sure quite how to do it.

More Fun with Library Thing

So, I went back to Library thing and added about four titles. Next I returned to my blog and saw that the first seven titles I had listed had changed to a random seven titles from the list of now eleven titles. Cool.

Recomended Titles WITH Cover Art!

Howdy. Here's my stab at using Library Thing. I'm kinda guessing how to put my list here. Hope it works.

Puppy Pic.s from Flickr

Well I had to look at dog photos, what else? I like this one and since I'm a bit fuzzy about where on Flickr I would find copyright information, I'll just link to this photo of Kirby the Westie studying up on his ancestors.

I tried to use Spell with Flickr, but once I got the line I wanted, I couldn't figure out how to upload it onto this post.

Okay, next time I have a bit of extra time I'll set up my own account on Flickr and put together a set of pictures.

I Promised You a Dog Survey

Here it is. Remember, it's just for laughs. My intention is to collect responses for a few weeks, then make the responses available for all to see, as they should be pretty funny! -Karen

Still Learning and Having Fun

As you can see on the left, I figured out how to add a list of web sites and blogs. I did open up comments to anyone, and I did choose to moderate comments. Now, I'm going to create a short survey about dogs, and learn how to moderate comments. I can see that using more interactive ways of inviting participation would be helpful, especially for teens who are already visiting Madison Public Library's "Teen Topix" blog. I'd love it if we could have a "click here" to download a coupon for a free library rental during Teen Read Week. Also, it'd be great to have some quick, entertaining surveys to encourage more participation on Teen Topix.

More about dogs

For my birthday yesterday, we took the dogs to a photo place, and got their pictures taken. We took the usual shots of us with the dogs, and some of the dogs sitting and lying together. We also took a few of the dogs playing and got some fun shots of flying ears, play bows and belly-up behavior. I'll post a pic or two on a later post. Anyway, here's another favorite book about dogs written by one of my favorite writers. I read the story of Ceasar out loud and could barely get the words out I was laughing so hard, but keep some hankies handy as you read, too.

RSS feed assignement

I successfully subscribed to 14 blogs, some library, some not. I have a few questions. Firstly, I made a folder - called it "For Fun" and put two blog subscriptions into it. I have some blogs about dogs that I'd like to move into that folder, but I'm not sure how to edit/arrange the list of blogs (is that called a blogroll?) on the left side - though I did notice the easy "unsubscribe" button available on Bloglines. Secondly, I see a message that says "you haven't set up a clip blog yet click here to do so" What's a clip blog? Should I make it public, not??
