switching to WordPress

FYI: My blog has moved to webchicken.wordpress.com/

The Library Day in the Life business got me inspired to put more energy into my blog. I was bothered that I had the librarychicken address on Blogger, then remembered in 2005 I had begun a WordPress blog with my preferred "webchicken". So this morning I imported all of my past Blogger posts to the WordPress blog - everything seemed to go smoothly.

For the course I teach, I've used Blogger, MySpace, and WordPress. WordPress won out there, so I might as well make the switch here! I've been having a spot of trouble adding widgets as I'd like to my theme, but I think with some expert Wordpress help from the YA librarians today that I should be good to go.

Library Day in the Life

Friends on FriendFeed tipped me off to a Library Day in the Life blogging project. I'm excited to participate and also to read about the lives and jobs of other libraryland people. The project begins on Monday, July 14, which is my regular day off, so I'll start my librarydayinthelife blogging on Tuesday. See you then!

FriendFeed


Something Is Afoot with Friend Feed

FriendFeed is my new friend. Those I follow on twitter were talking about it a lot and then libraryman's photo pushed me to take the plunge. I really like that it allows you to follow people on a variety of social networking sites - flickr, twitter, blogs, delicious, etc.
