Go on ya 23 good things!!

A wee discovery! I found out that rolling self-repeating Flickr slideshows can be built in Flickr and displayed in blogger blogs (i.e. the blogs most of us built ourselves a wee while ago e.g. as demo'd on my wee blog http://bloggybloggy-bloggy.blogspot.com/ ) perfectly - however, wordpress blogs (i.e. and e.g.! our current DkIT Library Blog at http://dundalkinstitute.blog-city.com/ ) can't currently handle rolling self-repeating Flickr slideshows, wordpress blog can have a nice Flickr slideshow in it, but you have to click play button each time to run the show

Week 1:
We came, we saw, we kicked some ask - it was the week of nice new things and lots of hands on activity - lifelong learning, what web2.0 can do for your political career and we learned nice new things and shared nice new things and contributed nice new things about web2.0 and lifelong learning and lots more besides - web 2.0 is fun!





Week 2:
It was a hard blog or do I mean a tough wiki but on Thursday we got there in the end - 9 times out of 10 the network let me down but thats what online social networking and communities are all about aren't they i.e. having fun and learning through sharing and contributing online - and showing u how funked u r when u r offline



- without further ado I now pronounce this wee blog o mine open 4 synthesis: http://bloggybloggy-bloggy.blogspot.com/

p.s. check out the blog, as you can see web 2.0 is still fun!

p.p.s. Go on ya 23 good things!


Week 3:
Loving that twitter action, its like a whole new universe or twitterverse out there or in there or just there!



- verse is the key, you've heard of Peter the Great, well heres one re: the best Twitter quotes to date ever! from Peter the Geek! :

p.s. no Peter the Greats nor Peter the Geeks were hurt or me in this twepisode.... still waiting on Peter the Greek etc. etc.

p.p.s. Nice twitteis !



wikis and Browser wars!

I discovered that I could only accept an invitation as a friend to someones wiki here if I opened the invitation and accepted it in the IE browser - it wouldn't work for me in Mozilla Firefox, it just kept hanging.
However, other stuff for the wiki works in Mozilla Firefox that won't work if I try it in IE. So, moral of the story is if its not a network issue, if something isn't working in one browser, switch over to the other and try it there!

Week 4:
We are back live in week 4 land, a land called Flickr - photos and images time, lots to see and lots to do and lots to play!


We are learning alot through play, for example Flickr slideshows are neat, great for theme weeks, library marketing, exhibitions & events marketing.
Browser wars no so pertinent here - blog wars are however! I found out that rolling self-repeating Flickr slideshows can be built in Flickr and displayed in blogger blogs (i.e. the blogs most of us built ourselves a wee while ago e.g. as demo'd on my wee blog http://bloggybloggy-bloggy.blogspot.com/ ) perfectly - however, wordpress blogs (i.e. and e.g.! our current DkIT Library Blog at http://dundalkinstitute.blog-city.com/ ) can't currently handle rolling self-repeating Flickr slideshows, wordpress blog can have a nice Flickr slideshow in it, but you have to click play button each time to run the show - this may change, I've asked our wordpress blog about developing such a widget to encourage them to up their functionality to match blogger - so we've learned we will have to evolve with the improved functionality thats out there in Web 2.0 land to keep it as fresh as people will expect it to be, another full-time job!
