#10 Online Image Generators - Avatars

Avatars...well, well...I had seen some avatars before, but never imagined that these were actually made by actual users. I always thought they were just premade "little people" off of some computer geek's mind...

But you actually start from scratch or on some like WeeWorld, you actually start naked...well almost naked...there's a little leaf covering private parts of course :-)

Take a look at one I created with WeeWorld it's to the right of this post...

Here's one I created with Yahoo Avatars
Yahoo! Avatars U.K. & Ireland

Pretty cool websites I'd say, I'd never played dress-up before, and I must say it was fun.

You can even do signatures for your email...check mine out down here...


Try it!!! You'll have fun...I guarantee it...

#12 - Library Elf

Well I haven't had the time to post anything for a couple of weeks; I've been very busy. Finally, I got around to see what I had been missing and ran into this Library Elf deal. I am one of those people who always forgets to turn in items, even though I work here.

With Library Elf, it's very easy to track items. I usually get a notice from our library anyway, but getting two emails instead is always better.

So come on, get an account if you're a forgetful patron/staff member like me and enjoy the elf-help. :)

#8 & #9 - RSS Feeds

Well I'm supposed to keep up w/new technology and all that but honestly...Who's got the time? I'll be honest, I'm always up for a new challenge but this RSS deal had me wondering if I was getting too old and that all technology was passing me up.

I was wrong. RSS feeds were very easy to use. It's like your favorites on your browser but even better. YOU get to choose which pages are your favorite ones...AAAAANNNNDDDD...if that page/blog has an RSS feed option...add it, and voila!

Everytime that page/blog updates you get a feed in your account...I opened an account with Bloglines.com:



So don't be scared, try it out...If you need help, just post a comment on this blog.

PS: Here are some of my current RSS Feeds...I love them:
