Wicking with Wikipedia

What fun! It was certainly easy to find some corrections that needed to be made on the Calgary Public Library entry. I corrected the original opening date of the library as well as inserted a link to the Memorial Park entry in the Community Heritage and Family History Digital Library. The article could stand a bit more editing too and I hope to go back and do that. I'd like to add the link to the Digital Library in the references and the citation but the citation process seems complicated and will take a bit more time to figure out. I'd also like to create a whole new entry on the Community Heritage and Family History collection when I get a chance.

Tasty Times With Delicious

I have been using Delicious for a while now, both at work for Best Websites and at home for my personal use. In fact, it was through setting up my own Delicious account that I found one of my favourite websites that I now use all the time for travel: Tripit


I don't think that Delicious is the most user friendly site. As with any uncontrolled vocabulary, the tags may not be uniformly consistent. Some links have a lot of tags and some don't have many at all. Tagging could use some cataloguers! However, the advantage of Delicious is also the ability to customize. Of most benefit is the ability to search it from any computer.


Does anyone know if there are any other websites comparable to Delicious out there?

What I hope to learn from 2.0

This is a great hands-on way to apply some of the things we hear about but may not have the time to explore on our own. I'm hoping to learn a few tips and tricks along the way - I've already learned a few more things about how a blog such as blogger works!

Hello!

This is a great way to find out about the ins and outs of blogging! I love the templates too.
