Blog Decisions (Week 2, thing 3)
Here’s that decision thing I talked about in my last entry, rearing it’s ugly head – Which blog service do I choose – blogger or wordpress? I like google apps, but wordpress sounds so much more erudite and much more fitting for a librarian. First I read through the explanation and then tried to look through some of everyones’ blogs already posted (trying to find people I knew or guess if I could figure out the anonymous ones) to see if there was a heavy favorite between the two. That didn’t seem to help (and often forgot to look at the host address because I was too busy reading entries and profiles). I decided to wait and “think about” which one to choose – and we all know that just my way of avoiding a decision.
Later that evening – as I was mentally composing my blog entry (even though I still hadn’t decided which blog host to use) I had a brilliant idea. Thinking about the structure of the blog entries, I thought it would be a great idea to have a blog for announcements at the library – list of new books and DVDs and reminders of programs and upcoming events. We have not had an uptodate website in over 2 years so this is a way people at home can check in with us. AND my problem was solved – I made 2 blogs – this wordpress one for 23 things and a blogger one for library announcements. You are reading one – check out the other called “Access Arvin A”

If each of these blogs didn’t fulfill a specific purpose, I’d not be doing a blog. Who’s going to read this anyway? I can’t believe anyone is interested in my rambling (and that’s whatI think of a typical blog – as just rambling!) And who has the time?
