Still catching up - Digg

I have subscribed to Digg.com so I am making some progress (slowly). I had a bit of a look at some of the blogs on it but I need more time to better search the site so that I am able to give my opinion about it.

RSS Feeds

Today I installed a feed reader and subscribed to some blogs about dogs. I am yet to subscribe to library related blogs. In my haste , I didn't read the question properly & got dogs & blogs mixed up!

Library Thing

Well today I joined 'Library Thing' and selected a few of my favourite books by 'Gerald Durrell' & 'John Wyndham'. I have read (& re-read) most of the books listed on my blog. I find the books written by Gerald Durrell about animals very interesting & funny too at times. When I went to Jersey in 2000 I visted the Jersey Zoological Park that he created & was very passionate about. It was great to actually see the zoo and to be able to relate to the books that he had written. I also saw Mzuri, the gorilla, who used to be at Melbourne Zoo. I was there for his 16th birthday!. He was sent there for breeding purposes & he has been successful. The other author I love is 'John Wyndham' who wrote science fiction.
I'm not sure if I'll use 'Library Thing' but I can see that it is a useful tool for people who want to catalogue their home book collections. Maybe when I get connected to the internet at home, I will end up cataloguing my books!

Catching up.

I have been off sick for a couple of weeks so I am now trying to catch up. I've had a look at image generators & had a bit of fun looking at what you can do in some of the sites. I selected a box of chocolates as my image as I would like some right now!
