embedding

Today is a big assignment..... embed a video clip onto this blog. OHHHH! I am up to this kind of advanced technological whodazzery?
I guess the proof will be in the pudding. If you dont see a video at the end of this blog, you will know that I havent reached the lofty heights that I have been dreaming about.
On a serious note. I am super happy that I have been given the opportunity to learn how to do all of this stuff. What a great way to promote an upcoming event than to put a little video clip in of something similar done in the past. Everyone loves clicking on a video clip when they are on a website. I know I do.
You could even embed a small promo video that could advertise pod casts that we have made from visiting guests. You could promote new books or dvds in your library by putting a you tube video of the movie on your website? Or simply get a small advert made for your libraries and embed it on to your website.....The possibilities are endless!!   anyway here's my video of choice, enjoy.

end of the line

Just learnt about geocatching,(spelling). This sounds like a great idea for adventurous people who like to get together with people to find these cache's.
I guess in terms of libraries, it would be a fun idea to bring awareness to certain events or promotions for our libraries. Each cache could originally hold information about the idea we would like to promote and then each member who finds the cache could then write about their experiences or ideas so that other people who find the cache's after them can learn and get new ideas from the previous geocacher's and hopefully sread the word about how fun it is to do.
Ideas: National year of reading.- Libraries include a title of a book to read and they can then write their review in the next cache and get a new title for a book.
