Thing 13

Although I did not use the specific sites mentioned in this discovery exercise, essentially I completed it sometime in January, 2008, when I was introduced to Delicious by my sister-in-law. I love it! I use my personal Delicious as my homepage on my laptop. The Wordle on this page is based on my school page, LymanLibrarian. There is a link to it on our portion of the school's webpage. I have been promoting it to teachers and students since I created it, but I've realized recently that checking for broken links needs to be on my "to do" list for the summer.

It is helpful to have the "Post to my Delicious" button on your toolbar. Of course, this is easier to do on your own computer. Putting the button on your school computer may not be an option, especially since most of us use several different stations. The easy way around that is to have two browser windows open, sign in to your Delicious on one, find the website you want to add on the other, and then cut and paste the address, description, etc., into the "Save a new bookmark" form.
