Half-way point!

Labels: , , , 2 comments

Well done - you're at the half-way point of the 23 Things programme!


It's a good opportunity to check over the posts you've written so far, and make sure you have tagged each Thing that you have done.


When you submit your blog for completion at the end of the programme, the 23 Things team will check to see that all the Things have been completed.  This task will be much easier for us if your blog has a list of tags on the sidebar.  You can still work through the Things after 9th April - you only have to meet the deadline to be eligible for completion certificates and prizes.


To add a list of tags to the sidebar of your blog, log in to Blogger and go to Layout > Page Elements. You should see a gadget called 'Labels'.  Drag and drop it into the sidebar area and click Save.


Keep up the good work!

Thing 10: Social Bookmarking and Tagging

Labels: , , , , 1 comments

For "Thing 10" we stay with Delicious and look at library use of Delicious and Delicious networks.

1. Several libraries in Oxford are using Delicious to recommend web pages to readers. Take a look at the Delicious page of one of the libraries listed in the web 2.0 directory. (Alternatively, if you prefer to look at an individual’s Delicious bookmarks check out Phil Bradley's Delicious page @ http://delicious.com/Philbradley )

2. You can add other Delicious users to your network so that you can easily view their bookmarks. Add one of the Libraries listed in the web 2.0 directory or another Delicious user of your choice to your network.

First you need to know the Library or user’s username. You can find this out by navigating to their Delicious page and copying the last part of the URL (e.g Philbradley, vhllib, HFLOxford, NuffieldCollegeLibrary, EDLIBOxford, earlybooks).


Then choose “People” / “Go to user” and paste in the username.


Finally choose "Add to my network" (on the right).


2. Navigate between your own bookmarks and the users in your network. Choose "Network" to view the bookmarks of users in your network and choose "Bookmarks" to view your own bookmarks


3. Record your impressions of using Delicious networks on your blog. Don't forget to tag your post "Thing 10"

More things

1. Subscribe to the RSS feed associated with one of the delicious users in your network by clicking on the orange RSS icon at the bottom of their list of bookmarks. Note: you can subscribe to bookmarks with a particular tag by clicking the tag first and then the RSS icon.

2. Use Delicious network explorer (http://www.twoantennas.com/projects/delicious-network-explorer/) to find other users to add to your network.
