This is so sad - they wait til I get hooked and then everything dies!

A new (or new to me) Facebook App makes perfect sense for me to announce here - Facebook Blog Networks. This app lets you claim your own blogs and then add the blogs you read to your network. Here are the blogs I author:

If you sign up make sure you mark yourself as [...]

My blog says that WordPress 2.6 is available - and I should update. I clicked the link and was brought to the download page. I thought that a feature of 2.5 was automatic updates - anyone know what’s going on? Why do I have to do the whole download/upload thing?

Hmmm. I’m not sure what this means for my blog, but Dave of the awesome SpamKarma is no longer developing this tool, he has instead made it open source so that some other group can take over. I love this tool! I’ve recommended it often in blogging classes and now I have [...]

At first I didn’t see a point to using Twitter - mainly because I don’t pay for text messaging on my phone and I didn’t want to visit the Twitter site on a regular basis. Then I started working from home and had IM open all day. Twitter’s IM functionality was very handy [...]

I love David Weinberger, he’s such an awesome speaker! Thanks to John for pointing out this video:

Weinberger talks about our views on perfection, fame and blogging.

Did you know there was a plugin to do this? I’m a little scared to give it a whirl, but others seem to think it’s a pretty handy tool … have any of you used it?

Since taking the job with LibLime I’ve been using Twitter a lot more - it’s just another buddy on my already open IM client. Today, I thought I’d play with Tweet Clouds. Check out the cloud of terms I use in my tweets.

Last night (after uploading files to the wrong directory - duh!) I upgraded to WordPress 2.5 and I have to say this is going to take some getting used to! I know that there are a new features and tools and such - but the new layout is confusing me! I can’t find my [...]

Turns out that there is a new version of WordPress coming. Check out the 2.5 sneak peek - looks pretty neat!!

Who knew?? In an article titled Blogging’s Good For Your Health Claudine Ryan let’s us all know that our blogging is actually keeping us healthy!
Blogging can help you feel less isolated, more connected to a community and more satisfied with your friendships, both online and face-to-face, new research has found.
The research, from [...]

I know I’ve said in the past that I’m no fan of Twitter - but I’m giving it another go. I’m trying to use it via IM now. So far this is going pretty well. With my new job I have to be online all day - and on IM & Skype [...]

Now that I’m the Open Source Evangelist at LibLime, it’s my job to blog at Open Sesame (a long abandoned blog). Now that the blog is up and running I encourage you to subscribe to the RSS feed and keep an eye on the open source news I post there.

When I was at the Seminary we were looking for a persistent identifier for our digital collections. We ended up choosing to use DOIs. So, when I saw this press release I thought - cool - we made the right choice:
CROSSREF LAUNCHES FREE CITATION LOOK-UP TOOL FOR BLOGGERS
Lynnfield, MA. February 12, 2008. — [...]

When I give my blog presentations I always mention MovableType, but I also mention that it’s not open source like WordPress (which is my blog tool of choice). Now, MovableType has an open source free option for non-commercial use.
As of today, and forever forward, Movable Type is open source. This means you can freely [...]

The Advanced WordPress Help Sheet includes snippets from Styling Different Categories to Dynamic Page Titles. This is also only the first of a few I’ll be releasing. I plan on having at least three Advanced WordPress Help Sheets, totaling to around 9 or 10 pages of WordPress goodies.
This sounds pretty handy. One day I’ll [...]

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I would soon be the chair of the SLA-IT Blogging section - well - it’s that time. I’ve posted my hello post and I’m ready to roll!!

After upgrading to the new release of WordPress I went from 2000 readers to 900 - that means that my plugin that counts those of you not using my FeedBurner feed doesn’t work with the new release (or over 1000 of you got annoyed at me for something I wrote ). So - [...]

This year I’m going to try something different - I’m going to try and juggle blogging in two places. This past year I have been blogging at the SLA-IT Blogging section blog every once in a while - but starting in 2008 I will be the Blogging Section chair and as such responsible for [...]

I just read that Roy will no longer be writing his column for Library Journal - but will continue to blog - an option he didn’t have when he started out 10 years ago.
Blogs didn’t exist then either. But since they do now it seems like a fairly good platform for continuing my coverage of [...]

I totally agree with Michelle and am so happy that she has put it into print - hopefully other librarians out there will learn from the biblioblogsphere - that’s why we’re here isn’t it? To share our knowledge with our colleagues:
I have been thinking about the biblioblogosphere and all the library bloggers out there, sharing [...]

An article on Ars Technica, by Nate Anderson, points out a federal case where a judge has rules that bloggers have the same rights as journalists. This case was prompted by a blogger posting about his negative experiences with BidZirk using not the company logo, a picture of the company owner and his family [...]

I presented with Sarah Theimer from Syracuse this morning. Sarah talked about how they use MediaWiki for keeping track of procedures. She started by asking “Will a wiki work?” and her answer was “Sort of” - my answer is YES!
It was fun to listen to Sarah because a lot of [...]

I went from being excited about upgrading to WordPress 2.3 to being very nervous … anyone want to tell me that upgrading won’t break anything??

Can someone tell me how to report a spam blog to a registrar? I have one that keeps stealing my posts and crediting them to others - I want to report them, but I’m not sure what the steps are.
