Charlotte-Mecklenburg Thing #23

The last thing. It feels odd to be writing this post. The training schedule at RCPL has it down that these 23 Things should be done by the 60-day mark. On 3/23, I'll have been working here for 60 days. That's as odd a thing to comprehend as finishing this exploration. I was so excited when I got this position, and time feels like it has flown by!

There were a lot of Things in this that I only knew by name (like RSS feeds), and it feels good to have a firmer grip on those concepts. I adore the browser-based word processors (as well as their file storage capacities), and I've already started thinking of ways to make use of them.

Another thing I'm taking away is Blogspot. Currently I use Livejournal for my personal blogging, and I do like it. But in poking around Blogger, I've grown to like it for different reasons. There's got to be a better way to search it though.

As for improvements, I can't readily think of any that would actually happen. Some of the links on the PLCMC blog are broken, but it's also been 2 years since they made those posts for this program.

All in all, I enjoyed this exploration, and I'm sort of sad to see it end.

But maybe that's just because I'm not getting a free mp3 player.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg 23 Things: Thing #9

Some of these Things are things to read, and some of them are Things to do.

This last thing was about RSS feeds. This was new to me, but rather than use the website recommended, I used the IE option of making a feed page. It seemed easier - and one less "website" to visit in order to read what I need/want to. Isn't that the point of RSS feeds?
