Can You Spell.....

We frequently get questions from people needing the spelling of a word. With the Internet these are easier to find than plowing through a print source. I had a request this morning from a gentleman who was going to make some signs and wanted to make sure his spellings were correct.

We had a laugh over a potential new slogan for his business: "I can't spell but I can guarentee my residentiel remodelling."

Thing #19 Web 2.0 - Twitter

I looked at the Twitter feature on the Recipes for Success site. I signed up for this about the time that Stacey Aldrich was leaving OPL and hadn't used it since. She gave me her name so she is currently the only person I am following. I guess I thought you needed to have a mobile device - but no. It works anyway you can get to the web. I notice Stacey was posting Twitters with mobile devices, web, mobile web, Twitterific (Twitter application for Macintosh) and Twinkle -(Twitter application for iphone). I had had an e-mail request a few months ago from an old friend requested to be one of my Twitter followers and so I finally approved him.

It was mostly due to a technical skills gap of the committee members - or, at least a perceived technical skills gap. I have continued to use it to post meeting agendas, meeting notes, sub-committee project information, etc. I will state that it hasn't always been as easy as making a Peanut Butter sandwich, but it has been a learning experience! I looked at the linked sites - the St. Joseph County Public Library reading genre links were good and I noticed that they were also updated in October - and had book jacket covers which made them more interesting than a pure textual site.

Thing 12 - Rollyo

Select... Permaculture Search The Web I created a Search Roll for permaculture since I'm interested in making our yard output oriented rather than input oriented. I added four permaculture sites that didn't have a lot of commercial flashy content so hopefully my search results will be productive and mostly crap free. I wasn't sure why it didn't stay named how I named it. This is the 2nd time I've tried to get it into my blog - looks easy from their website, but didn't save the "permaculture" name on it, but I see it is on the drop down menu.
