Task 10: Commenting on another blog

I went on my teacher's (Sharon McGregor) blog and I left a comment saying " The last movie I watched was Only Yesterday which is a 1991 Japanese animated film. It's a very lovely movie :)".

Task 9: Changing the arrangement of my blog

I changed the layout of my blog but my theme can't move the search section, header, subscription, page list (top), ads, page body, and footer.  I moved the blog archive and labels from the sidebar (bottom). For the sidebar (bottom) section, I added 2 gadgets which are translate and logo.

Task 8: Changing the look of my blog

I chose this theme because I like the colour blue. It has a background of the ocean. I like how the title is cursive writing. It's a simple theme.

Task 4: What is library 2.0?

To me, library 2.0 is a library that has over time become more developed and advanced with technology. It can still keep it's resources through paper but also giving it the chance for people to use it digitally, since everyone uses the internet. Making sure it's being kept up to date with the current world. Two links that provide an explanation of Library 2.0 are: http://www.webology.org/2006/v3n2/a25.html   and  https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0961000613477122 .
