For those of you who don't know Feedburner is a nifty tool that you can use to add functionality to your blog, twitter etc. RSS feed. With Feedburner you can get statistics from how many people are using your feed, what browser they are using and where in the world http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TechnogeekeryForLibrarians/~3/zCBViH7FQII/feedburner-word-oddity.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Carol Cooke)0<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TechnogeekeryForLibrarians?a=zCBViH7FQII:UcmmnONQDMs:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TechnogeekeryForLibrarians?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TechnogeekeryForLibrarians?a=zCBViH7FQII:UcmmnONQDMs:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TechnogeekeryForLibrarians?i=zCBViH7FQII:UcmmnONQDMs:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TechnogeekeryForLibrarians?a=zCBViH7FQII:UcmmnONQDMs:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TechnogeekeryForLibrarians?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TechnogeekeryForLibrarians/~4/zCBViH7FQII" height="1" width="1"/>http://technogeekery.blogspot.com/2009/05/feedburner-word-oddity.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10469417.post-5206026604979354630Wed, 13 May 2009 18:15:00 +00002009-05-19T10:40:12.918-05:00del.icio.us h1 a:hover {background-color:#888;color:#fff ! important;} div#emailbody table#itemcontentlist tr td div ul { list-style-type:square; padding-left:1em; } div#emailbody table#itemcontentlist tr td div blockquote http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TechnogeekeryForLibrarians/~3/SJiwkCQ7m9U/delicious-findings.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Carol Cooke)0<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TechnogeekeryForLibrarians?a=SJiwkCQ7m9U:gl2nZa5cUa4:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TechnogeekeryForLibrarians?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TechnogeekeryForLibrarians?a=SJiwkCQ7m9U:gl2nZa5cUa4:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TechnogeekeryForLibrarians?i=SJiwkCQ7m9U:gl2nZa5cUa4:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TechnogeekeryForLibrarians?a=SJiwkCQ7m9U:gl2nZa5cUa4:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TechnogeekeryForLibrarians?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TechnogeekeryForLibrarians/~4/SJiwkCQ7m9U" height="1" width="1"/>http://technogeekery.blogspot.com/2009/05/delicious-findings.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10469417.post-8031033103472840640Tue, 12 May 2009 20:57:00 +00002009-05-13T11:02:38.417-05:00twitterlanguageI am new to Twitter and have been wondering what all the @, # and short forms mean.

It's hard to imagine that I've gotten away with not teaching something like this for so long! It was wonderful to have a good excuse to take a closer look at some internet search engines, it was also more challenging than I expected.

Provide them with a link to a map from which they can locate your institution. An added benefit would be if they could get driving directions from that map.

Like all novice bloggers I assumed that once I had selected the template that I could quite happily forget about design and focus entirely on content. Not so! Over time I've modified the template to include a "list of contributors", an RSS feed, a blogroll and some images.
