Learning 2.1!!!! I'm on it!

Just discovered the place that originated the Learning 2.0 program has moved on to Leaarning 2.1. Go The Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County!

Their lessons start with Thing 24 because they originally stopped at Thing 23 for Learning 2.0. The new blog for the more amorphous continuation of learning exercises is



Whooo hoooo! I have to start doing the first 2.1 Thing yet, but I just swiped their banner and made it a link in this post!! How cool is that? I'm not sure this is the way banner links are supposed to be made, but it works. (I added a link to their blog using the ''<''a href'' thing, then in the space after the greater than and before the lesser than /a greater than I added an image link and finished with the image's own ''<''/a''>'' [remove the single quotes. You know how it should look in html.) Ummmmmm it was linking just to the image. Curses.

So, what one really does is use the "a href" bit for the url link, and then in the space where the text would be if it were a word link, one inserts ''"[img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5074868428055059554" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwhM9awXF_l1dANvBrb0HG-aKqI918Rg5IEo6qjTT66S3XGyO63tiXhDeLRtwR-diObJCcNFzce8yILynkmiC50hlrqLBiS4hyZcM7_ddELtOWsdPLyEhFpK28cpcX4didO7h3jKEJTg/s320/learning2a.jpg" border="0" /]. replace square brackets with the point ones.

This seems to work, now. (Understanding of course that the specific above stands in for the general technique of making banner links.)

Hi Yorick -- I haven't really decided what I'm going to do with my blog yet. I do post more frequently over at LiveJournal, and I've been spending a lot of time on Facebook. I think I'll put up another post with those links so people can find me if they want to, and figure out what I want to do with this blog later (that was very Scarlett O'Hara of me.)
