5,6 and 7
I'm enjoying the "things", although how I'm going to keep up with the huge mountain of RSS feeds that arrive every day I don't know. I can skim over most of them but some really need to be read. I've had a look at other people's blogs - aren't you all a creative bunch! I'm going to have to find some way of making this a bit more interesting.
On a "referency" note: I found an interesting extension for Firefox. It's called Zotero and helps you keep track of books, documents, websites as you esearch. You can add notes as you go. Great tool for compiling a bibliography.

Blogging
Well, I was much happier with this week's effort and managed to create my blog pretty quickly. Now I just have to think of things to say.

Thing One and Thing Two
How very Dr Seuss!
Well, much to my dismay I found Thing One really difficult. Must have watched the demo about a dozen times before I finally completed the task of adding plugins. I think my inexperience with Firefox probably contributed and it wasn't until I made Firefox the default search engine that things started to fall into place. Until then every time I opened a new window it would open in Explorer and I'd get lost.
It would have been useful to have opened up the link that Jason had created to the unofficial Library tools page first. I finally figured this all out and now I actually know what I'm doing. Hooray!!
The plugins task was easier although I don't think it's something I'll use much. But at least I know they're available. I'm still happier using Explorer but will continue to experiment with Firefox and may become a convert.
