Exploring Medical Librarianship and Web Geekery

 
 
 
 

What do you want to know how to do?

It occurred to me recently that I haven’t written a how-to post in a good while.

The primary reason for this is that I don’t have a good idea what sorts of how-to posts would be most welcome or useful to readers. If you have a technology question or a how-to you’d like to see, please leave a comment (anonymous is okay, if you prefer) or drop me an email and let me know?

    Susan:

    Ok, here is one from a new blogger- could you talk about different blog hosting sites and their strengths? I would like to organize my posts so that they can be searched and so that I can go back to them as a resource but blogger doesn’t seem to allow for that.

    I also would like to find a nice icon to put next to the title (like David Lee King’s green guy) so it looks good on my netvibes page, and add badges for different kinds of syndication.

    So, maybe some instruction about how to spiff up a blog and the features that readers find most useful on the blogs they read. Thanks! susan

    Bear:

    RSS is getting a lot of attention but the the time sensitivity of it makes it too shallow. I’d like to see hints on how to scrape and extract data from websites and insert it into our own databases.
    thanks!
