Things to do when it won't stop snowing...

1. Add things to your Systems Blog.

Attempt 1.1: LibraryThing
I am perhaps the only librarian to be LibraryThingless; I need to sign up. As Jen mentioned in her presentation, it really is THE most simple log-in: one screen, two boxes, and no second chances. Thankfully, I didn't screw up my password!

Adding books is a snap, and fun to boot! I definitely dig this site! I also have no idea how to make my library appear on this blog?? Oh.. I think I can (once again) blame this computer! The screen is so small that the tab for making LibraryThing widgets, etc.was hidden behind the Zeitgeist tab. Wow, this is REALLY easy! Just copy and paste, in the same way that the Tagzania one was done! And it looks good, no?

I think this is a fabulous addition to a Library blog, especially (thinking for my own future) for a Young Adult page. An easy addition that promotes books for YA readers, and promotes interaction both on the blog and on LibraryThing.
