youtube at last

Well I have finally got on to youtube - but you guessed it not at my workplace, which still has it blocked but at my sisters house. SHe has very kindly offered her pc to me. SO this afternoon its finishing off week 6 and having a go at embedding a video. Then hopefully I can cover a few of the other bits on youtube before I head back to work....
but i just tried - I copied the embed video section from the youtube website and used the link above to try and add it here but I get an error on page message - I will try elsewhere on my blog to see if I can achieve this

trying to access videos

well, I am still waiting for council to give us back acces to youtube so I can complete week 6 - I have though managed to get on to some videos on google video.

all wikied out...

well having completed 3 pages on the jeans wiki I am all wikied out - I have also been back into flickr to load the jeans photos - still no word yet from Council on whether we can get on to youtube - I may have to go and visit a relatives house to keep working on the 2.0 programme - I am now behind which is not what I was aiming at...

Wikis

Have been getting into the wikis over the last week with the "Jean Genies" project.
see the new page on its wiki at

But as I prophesised in a previous blog I am having trouble with time frames. I was hoping to get to Week 6 videos online this week, but have been delayed. AND Council IT have pulled the plug on youtube again. So even more delay as I haven't got a home computer to do this section on....

WIKIS

Loved the internal staff manual wiki - an excellent example and so easy to do as we already have all the stuff typed up - its just not in the one place

Keeping up with the work

A think a lot of us are starting to fall behind in the programme, with many still not getting past the first base. I have managed all the weeks on time but I know from next week on we all start to run into 2 short weeks with Easter (and mine are even shorter with some extra holidays) so its looking like its time to prioritise. I am aiming to get through wikis and the next week before Easter and that way I won't be in a rush after Easter. Some of my work colleagues have starting having brain waves over how to use 2.0 technology in our library service and now its just a matter of consolidating those thoughts and then getting them okayed by management (which may be more difficult than doing the course)

RSS feeds

Well I have started to follow the instructions about doing RSS feeds - and have found that the recommended bloglines system is more difficult than the Reader available with your gmail account...was there some special reason why this was chosen???
