Well, it turned out I did remember my password, so here I am, for the second time!
I must say, the course set up this time doesn't look that daunting. I'm expecting to be mildly surprised instead of being gobsmacked like last time. I'm looking forward to learning new things, as expected and maybe even facing new challenges.
As for the library having a blog, I would say it's not the best thing, but maybe an essential asset considering the generation of today.
My view is that a library can keep in touch with them through a witty and funny blog of daily occurrences in the library and give them a positive image of what a library can mean to them. In my experience, most people are daunted by all the new technology we have and I think it's our job to gently ease them into it. Show them first through the website and then take them to the library blog!! If I were such a customer, I would like to see, instead of jargon, some funny anecdotes or witty remarks of our daily battles with irate and impossible customers!! It would show that your friendly librarian is also a human being!!

Hi de hi and welcome back! I like your ideas for how we can use a blog and how we can introduce it, gently, to customers :) Congratulations on your first successful post for this round of web 2.0.
