Last assignment - to try adding a gadget or widget to the blog. Found this a little difficult, the first couple of tries didn't work. After copying and pasting the required code from Google Gadgets, I was given 1,641 choices of gadget. I wanted the Christchurch weather, but it seems that the codes are not specific to one gadget, but to a field of gadgets, and then you must scroll through to find the one you want. Perhaps it's just me. I managed to put Sally the sheep on my blog, but I don't know if I will keep her there. I don't like the way the gadget comes with an advert for Google attached - it ruins the look of my blog. So farewell Sally. Google gadgets seem to be a lot of rubbish. No, I don't want porno pikkies of Miley Cyrus on my blog, thankyou, call me an old prude if you want, but naked people do lower the tone of one's blog. I prefer the gadgets that come with Blogger - it is more straightforward to work within what is offered with the Blogger territory.
Carrying on with the five-book challenge, but it really so far hasn't changed my opinion of sci-fi/fantasy. I'm trying to read one about the world of Faerie (damned if I can remember what it's called), but it's just so far-fetched, I can't be bothered. I must look around for some nice blogs/sites to add. Found one from a librarian in Melbourne "Living in the kingdom of too much", which I like, probably because she is about my age. There seem to be lots of librarian-bloggers. OK, said enough today. Bye-bye.
