Well, it's official. The 10Weeks to a Web2.0 You Social Media Training Program kicks off today. Right now, this is just for library staff, but we are collecting up all of the training tools, presentations, etc. to create a website which anyone can use.

Just a couple of various links from various places:how to build mobile versions of existing sites, including links to some mobile site building tools: http://designshack.co.uk/articles/css/quick-tips-for-creating-a-mobile-optimized-siteHow undergraduates use wikipedia:http://www.ui

Depending on what browser and resolution you are using, you may find that your content (such as blog posts) which have embedded videos are running over your blog post area. You COULD change your stylesheet, but if everything works except for embedded Youtube videos, an easier answer might be to change the width of the Youtube player. This is super easy to do.First you need to find a video that you want to use. ;-) Not all Youtube videos are embeddable and many copyrighted ones are not.

I decided to start digging out some of my old stuff that I either 1)haven't posted here before, or perhaps, 2)I posted it 5 years ago, but it is still relevant or 3) it is super popular (on twitter, on a blog, etc.) which makes me think it is worth a re-post. I promise my site is not about to become a re-hash and just like for the Question of the Day, these will have their own category and header.

So, this was MY question today: as in, I wanted to re-post a tweet about moonshine arts & literary magazine. I couldn't quite remember what I wrote and I didn't use a #hashtag. So what to do? How do you search your own twitter feed? There are lots of cool trending tools out there, but those are very limited in terms of timeframe. I personally like trendtastic.Per my usual M.O. I tweeted, buzzed, & facebook'd my request --even before I google'd, now what does that tell ya?

Sorry for the late notice, this just came across my desk.As far as I can see, it is free.-------------------------------https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/948880016Mobile Learning Fundamentals: Innovation Showcase and Real-World Examples - Presented by A.J.

Wow, this is kind of cool...

The internet has made sharing library catalogue records easier for libraries and users - but with it comes a new set of challenges surrounding the legal implications. A new JISC toolkit helps librarians navigate the legal minefield of making their catalogue records available to others.

A question asked by one of my coworkers (and you all thought I just answered social media, opensource, or database questions, right? LOL)Q: How does a phone text to email? Does the computer have to have anything magic?A: You can text to any email system. It's the phone that has the magic. Each texting phone (which is just about every cell phone except for a few REALLY old ones) has an email address attached to the phone number, so it's essentially email to email. SMS (short message service) = texting, which is based on really old GSM (Global System Messaging) which was back with early cells.
