#14: Explore and learn how tags work with blog posts. Do a keyword search on “School Library Learning 2.0” in blog posts, tags, & the blog directory.
I found 5 hits on “School Library Learning 2.0” in Technorati when I searched blog posts. There were 7 hits on “School Library Learning 2.0” when I searched blogs. There were no hits on “School Library Learning 2.0” when I searched the blog directory. In the advanced search, I found no posts tagged with "School Library Learning 2.0". When I removed the quotation marks and searched again for posts tagged with those words, I found 4. Without the quotation marks, I found 5 blogs that had that exact phrase. (Remember, for comparison, I got 7 blogs about "School Library Learning 2.0" when I included the quotation marks.)
Next: Explore popular blog, searches and tags. Is anything interesting or surprising in your results?
I'll come back and finish this in my next posting.

Week Six, Assignment #13
#13: Explore Del.icio.us. Watch the Santa Cruz Public Library tutorial. Check the SJLibraryLearning2 account. Set up my own account.
I watched the Del.icio.us tutorial and checked the bookmarks of the SJLibraryLearning2 account.
I've had a Del.icio.us account for several years under a different sign-in name than I'm using for this project. My library supervisor often posts bookmarks there that I find useful to share. The social bookmarking site is nice because it lets me find my favorite bookmarks no matter what computer I'm using.
There was a different social bookmarking site that I used in 2004 when I took an online Dreamweaver course through someone based at the University of Georgia, who was teaching through the auspices of Northern Virginia Community College. I forget his name and what bookmarking site he had us using. I'm afraid that information died when my computer's motherboard crashed. I know it wasn't one of the popular ones often posted on an online article that makes it so easy to bookmark something. I went to the SJLibraryLearning2 account and clicked on the tags for socialbookmarking and for bookmarking, but I didn't see anything that struck a chord of recognition.
I've created another account on Del.icio.us with the name joanneLMT2 so I could make a badge with the name I'm using on this blog.
