Cow

Pic of a cow, just for practice, from StockXchng via Photobucket.
I logged in to StXchg, found my pic, from the free section, clicked, pressed Download, that put it into my browser, and saved it to Desktop. (Then, just for early convenience) re-sized it to 10% with MS photo editor & saved.
then i googled Photobucket, logged in. button for Upload - from computer. Uploaded it from Desktop.(and created a new album for it, alone).

then, right here, clicked AddImage. Got it from teh url of my album in Photo Bkt (minimised). download. presto. couldn't be easier.

#17 Playing around with PB wiki

I had a good look and read pages and comments.
As for adding the link to my blog, there was no Edit button. It must have been removed by someone over-collaborating by mistake.

#16 Wikis

Wikis are good for collaboration.
Although I was part of a study wiki for 20 weeks last year, it's good to see the common features of other wikis, and read the background to them.

There are three ways of sharing information that come to mind: wikis, forums and blogs.
Wikis have the article or main page separated from a discussion page. This is good.

Blogs are more time-bound. I think they'd be not so useful for eg exploring a library collection.

Not sure about forums. Perhaps heavily question-based?

#15 Library 2.0 and Web 2.0

I liked the article Away from the icebergs, reminding us to aim for a service that is collaborative rather than one-sided. The shrinkage of Reference collections follows this trend, as do lower traffic and enquiries stats.
There is a wealth of fast information and answers to be had by digital networking, but we still must be careful about the authority of such information.
