Getting the Hang of Things


Phew....technology can be challenging!

I just added the Shelfari widget to this blog which took a little bit of time because it originally went to my personal blog! I finally figured things out.

However, Delicious is still challenging me because it is somehow connected to a yahoo account of mine while the blogger blog is connected to my gmail account and I am getting so confused with what emails I am using and the passwords! Yikes! I am really trying to use my school accounts for school related work and am developing the library blog and tags so I want to keep things separate for simplicity sake but it difficult.

I have the Diigo widget (?) and it is saving for me nicely but the delicious one is not. I have a personal delicious account, a work delicious account and I just set up a library one but I can't seem to get it to work correctly in my toolbar. I am experimenting with Chrome so I am getting to use to that too. Ugh!

But.....I just spent over an hour on Shelfari and I love it! I am part of Good Reads but I think I like Shelfari better. I think it looks visually better. Someone in class had their Shelfari with some great tags, like summer reading, and I want to learn how to do that. I can how helpful that would be.

Tomorrow I am going to explore more with Delicious and Diigo to see if I can get that running better and I'd love to get a widget on this blog too. We'll see....

I am learning more about other programs too, like Evernotes and Tumblr! And I want to know what Digg is too and how that is different from Diigo. I was getting Diigo and Digg mixed up, I wonder why? :)

Deep breathes.

I briefly explored Google Reader and know a bit about RSS Feeds but I really need to continue to explore those apps further.

  1. I agree about Shelfari. It has such a nice visual interface! And I had to laugh at digg vs diigo, do you think they name things so similarly on purpose? It confuses me too. I don't know why delicious allows me to stay in even when I am not logged into Yahoo. It is handy anyway... Not so with the google reader, but since I am almost always logged into my gmail - not so much an issue.
