3438 Using Blogger's New Features

I'm starting to get into it now. The photo load is looking different and gives me a tiny view to show it's there (code is much longer, however); I'm loving the new template save feature because it's so fast; the new labeling feature is cool, although it only labels my stuff, so if I want subject headings for my own, I'll have to go back; Cathy tells me the RSS feed for my blog now works; and it's nice to be able to see, from the index, which entries have comments. I'll probably still do technorati tags--not trying any of the others. Who knew so many people wanted to be cataloguers--

"A December 2006 survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project has found that 28% of internet users have tagged or categorized content online such as photos, news stories or blog posts. On a typical day online, 7% of internet users say they tag or categorize online content." From DigitalKoans

My first job as a librarian was cataloging Russian books from the PL480 plan. Ah, the machine tractor station romance novels--I wonder if anyone ever read them. I still put things on the conveyor belt at the supermarket by category. Taxables. Dairy. Meat. Fresh produce.
