Portrait of a Pobblebonk



Wow this is finally great- after alot of false starts I can now upload pictures!

I chose this picture because this Western Pobblebonk is particularly cute- and we love using Garry Fleming's Pobblebonks book for storytime.

Some Frog trivia- I just found out that you should never handle frogs with dry hands as it burns their skin- makes me feel really guilty about all the big green frogs I thought I'd rescued out of our letterbox when I was a kid!

Swimming through treacle

This course is unbelievably timely. The Web 2.0 presentation at the annual conference was inspiring but I didn't know where to start. I have been fiddling around a practice blog for months but of my lack of knowledge made this time consuming at at times frustrating (a bit like swimming through treacle).
I can see how library blogs are a great way to interact with users (and non users) but I want to create something that's engaging, useful and worthwhile. Looking forward to learning more!
