Images for elearning – Blackboard
It’s always useful to have generic graphics for use in blog posts, websites and learning objects. Here’s a useful Blackboard – write on anything relevant…

Moving from Google 1 – replacing Google Reader
iGoogle has been my homepage for years now – my personal online dashboard. It has on it many “gadgets” that I use on a daily basis – and, I’ll admit, some that I don’t any more. Google Reader is one of them, so I can see what’s recently been posted
I’ve been blogging for over ten years…
I didn’t celebrate my 10-year blogging anniversary, but perhaps I should have! Not many bloggers can claim to have been on the Web for over ten years. In fact I’ve been blogging longer than that. I used to write a regular entry on LitWeb (anyone remember that?) which has now disappeared along

Back in August 2009 I wrote a post explaining how to shorten a URL in order to share it on Twitter and other social networks. When every character counts, as in the 140 characters permitted per tweet, then a URL can take up far too many characters, and in the
Wibiya toolbar and linking to social networks
I’ve been looking for a really good way to provide a mechanism that allows readers to share the content on my website. I’ve tried a variety of WordPress apps, but none of them work very well. Now I’ve installed Wibiya (see the toolbar below) which so far works well. It’s
Twitter apps and making managing followers easier
I often look for people to follow on Twitter who are in a certain area, or have a particular area of expertise. Twitter itself doesn’t have a way to search bios or locations very successfully, so Twitter apps like TweepSearch :: Twitter Profile and Bio Search are very useful. I
