Fellow CLC librarians blogging

As part of my job, I've been actually taking a course. It might not be an official course but I still spend some time reading through the Blackboard forums and completing the assignments. The purpose is to help get all the librarians at CLC familiar with the various social network options out there, which I think is a great idea (mainly so I can get used to Blackboard). We're just wrapping up the blogging section of the course where we looked at our library's blog and looked for other library blogs to compare and come up with suggestions on how to improve our library's blog. Then people shared links to their own blogs, many which are newly-minted. It was fun to see the different themes and setups and to read the posts. I thought I'd share a stack of them here:

http://crazyliblife.blogspot.com/ - funny title, enjoy the blog's voice
http://nationalforestthaticampedat.blogspot.com/p/shawnee-national-forest.html - obviously I want to hear more about these adventures
http://cakexxorxxdeath.blogspot.com/ - this wins the fanciest/coolest setup award
http://recipegrabber.blogspot.com/ - I might be biased but this looks very promising - and yummy
http://stuffifoundinadrawer.blogspot.com/ - quirky and fun
http://mybackyardvicki.blogspot.com/ - apparently this is going to ever have one post but it was fun to read although the writing could use some formatting
http://emilie-emsdaily.blogspot.com/ - looks like a promising another "me-ness" blog

This isn't a list of all of them, just the ones I have open in tabs at the moment. Blackboard is so hard to navigate that I groan at the thought of going through all the discussions again to grab all the other links. So if you're a CLC librarian and your link isn't found above, put a link to it in a comment? Any that I get I'll post in a later blog entry.

They are all open to suggestions and comments so let's spur them on!
