grrrrr

So we're encouraged to blog at work - it's a "project"; we're behind the times; don't ask - and the blog I created for said project was seized and locked for its suspicious spambot nature by Blogger. It's going to take 4 days until it can be reviewed by a human and deemed appropriate. I am pissed! What did I ever do to you, Blogger? I give you my business, I wait out your downtimes, I check in nearly everyday. And this is how you repay my patronage! Fuck you cocksucker! (Steve has been watching the first season of Deadwood and I've heard cocksucker so many times it kind of lost its taboo charm.)

Maybe while I'm waiting out the storm, you could help me answer the very question I'm supposed to be blogging about: in what ways can public libraries use blogs?

I said. We're behind the times. Understand?

wha?? spambots? suspicious nature?? que strano. jerk-o blogger!

let's see. our library has one for teens, but um, it seems kind of lame and no one's on it except for other youth librarians. *sigh*

but i think it could be a great way to showcase new items coming in, possibly dvd selections for film buffs... reviews, book clubs?

I have no actual answer to the question you posed but I wanted to say that when we watched "Deadwood" we could not help saying "cocksucker" almost every time we had to add an intensifier. Curious, isn't it? We eventually got over it sort of, but it took a long time.

I was just looking into undergraduate intro information science courses and they have to do a blog project. I have no idea what it is about. I can't find it anymore or I would read it and tell you all the secrets.

We "have to" blog for work too -- it's the up & coming thing, they tell me. I'm like, dudes, blogging is almost over, yo.
