#12 Roll your own search tool Rollyo.

Well I've come this far. I've created a Rollyo account and added my search roll to my blog, but until I have time to really have a good go at Rollyo I think it's of limited use to me so far. I can see how it may be very useful for many people. Especially for someone who travels a lot or doesn't have a dedicated PC they use that would already have their favourite sites loaded.
I shall explore Rollyo more at a later date, but until then I will continue with trying to get 2.0 completed before the deadline.

A huge thanks to PinkLil

I must say a huge thanks to PinkLil for saving my sanity this morning by helping me with adding my random books powered by LibraryThing as seen on the PinkLil Blog.
And just to show how clever PinkLil is I've been able to use the information I have just been given to add a list of 'My websites of interest'. PinkLil is my first well admittedly not website, but blog to go on my list. Feel free to check out PinkLil's blog because I have always had a great respect for PinkLil's knowledge of literature (that includes picture books) and you never know you may find an interesting new title to read from PinkLil's list of random books powered by LibraryThing.

#11 All about LibraryThing

I have added only five books as suggested, but at some stage will obviously add more to LibraryThing. I like the idea of LibraryThing and have already thought of a few people that I can suggest it to. I'm thinking especially of those people I know who are happy to browse the net to find books and books related information in their own time. LibrayThing might just add another useful element to their book searching experience.

#10 Part 2

These are the offerings I have from yesterday after I worked on #10 in Learning 2.0.
I'm still trying to get my head around blogs and how to post. I suppose it's all
with time and practise.

Anyway, the top three are images I used from LetterJames, one of the image generators we were to try out and the little fantasy pony is from one of the sites off The Generator Blog. You have to make a combination of colour choices for both a mother and father fantasy horse and if they had a pony this is supposed to be what it looks like. Just thought it was fitting to have a horse/pony theme for Melbourne Cup day yesterday.

By the way, Half Man Half Biscuit are a real band. They're from the UK. Check them out on iTunes. Especially their albums Achtung Bono and the Cammel Laird Social Club. Possibly two of their best albums.

#10 Play around with Image Generators

I've just played around with the Image Generators and had some fun and some frutration. The Generator blog has some great stuff and I had a look at a number of things. I played around with a few things that I didn't have to sign up for and I even have something to show for it. Well I thought I did because i can't get the images I mde in letterjames.com and in the fantasy pony site in Generator blog off the PC I'm working on. AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

If I can figure out what I've done wrong I'll have to post them later. Otherwise you'll just have to take my word for it.

The FD Toys I found a little frustrating because I didn't have any photos to use.
Hang on just had a thought. You may not see it in today's post because I'm running out of time, but I might try to figure out which items I could use in FD Toys so I can show the images I produced using the other two image generators today.

Leave it with me folks!!!

P.S. If you haven't already done so check out some of the name generators in Generator Blog, they're an absolute crack up. I had a go at the name generator that works out an elf name for you and frankly I'm keeping mine to myself. Yeah I know that's not fair, but hey at least in Elf Land I'll know who I am.

#7, #8, #9 RSS Feeds

Oops, I blogged about #7 on the 26th of October and got all excited because I thought that I had finished this bit of 2.0 and have just realised that I haven't blogged about #8 and #9.


I've just counted and I have a total of 15 RSS feeds and I can honestly say that six out of the 15 feeds are all library/literature related. I have added some of the library related feeds as suggested and I thought I'd add in an extra, 'The Warrior Librarian'. However when I looked I couldn't see the RSS feed symbol anywhere on the site. If I simply haven't looked properly and someone finds the RSS feed symbol, please feel free to leave a comment. I thought the Warrior librarian would be a good one for some lunchtime stress relief.

#6 Flikr fun, etc

My apologies but I forgot to post about Flickr Fun, etc. I've had a go at it this afternoon and being a bit of a dog fan I found a fun site where you can make up comic strips with photos already posted on the site. So have a look and hopefully a bit of a chuckle.
