Friday again featured a number of memes.  Morgan asked 20 questions on day 20 so I thought I would ask you a few more: Who said don’t be afraid to change direction when she reflected on why she became a librarian? Who described her life according to They Might Be Giants and The Cure? Whose [...]

Sometimes I think that questions and the asking of questions, are more useful than having answers. Sunday was day 20 of the 30 posts in 30 days blogging challenge. Congratulations on reaching the two thirds milestone, and here are some questions about the day’s blogging. This is multiple choice, so there are 10 questions followed [...]

Welcome to the commentary on day nine of the 30 posts in 30 days blogging event. I imagine that nine is an awkward number for this. The bigger milestone is tomorrow. If this were a marathon, day nine is when some people (like me) might start feeling the pain barrier. Anyway, this is what I [...]

The WordPress blogging platform is, I believe, one of the most popular platforms for blogging. I know many places use the WordPress.org version (including Libraries Interact), individuals use the WordPress.com version, and some institutions are using the WordPress MU version as well. My place of work is one of them, using it to host a [...]

I’m not a huge TV watcher, but there’s something about finding a good blog which reminds me of finding a good TV show. It’s something to look forward to – the next episode or the next blog post. And it’s always a shame when a TV show you liked is cancelled, or when a blog [...]
