Thing #27: Photobucket

Using Photobucket is fantastic. Once signed up, I was able to effortlessly include both images and videos to my album. Posting to my blog was amazingly simple. It's great to have the option of using the "Find stuff" tab or searching. As usual it was a struggle not to spend hours playing with this resource.

In my opinion, Shakespeare is the absolute master.

Awesome movie and a great book too.

Photobucket Album

What a team. Go Wallabies.

Thing #26: Widgets

Wow!!! I've just had a play with some widgets using Yourminis. The whole process was quite addictive, I could have spent hours exploring all the various choices. Once signed up, it's a very straightforward process of selecting any number of interesting widgets and sending them across to your blog. I thought I'd include two, one practical and informative and the other just fun.

They can be included in the eLibrary blog, for quick 'bursts' of relevant information to clients. Perhaps the ATOLaw what's new link and new Wiki pages.

Thing #25: Letterpop.com - newsletters

Just as promised I was able to create my very own newsletter very quickly. I found the Letterpop.com site very easy to use with a myriad of images and layouts to play with. The ability to link to Flickr is another useful feature. The only problems I encountered were initial delays in uploading images. Mind you I attempted this from my desktop, so delays are common.

Letterpop.com can be used to create LIS professional looking and BSL team specific skilling notes for a range of training sessions including ATOLaw, company and business research.

I'm currently experiencing problems including my newsletter in my blog. Hopefully these difficulties will be overcome very soon. In the mean time...the show must go on.

#24: Zamzar - file conversion








Well, the adventure certainly continues. After completing the discovery exercise on the Zamzar site, I can vouch for its effectiveness and efficiency. I was able to effortlessly convert a word document to pdf and a pdf document to word.

I can definately see clients converting previuously scanned pdf documents to word. Such as legal material and eAlert articles.

It's absolutely fantastic to be given the opportunity to continue working with Web 2.0 resources.
