First up, the exciting new Twitter update widget on the right sidebar of this page. Hopefully this will help make this blog look a little more active in between my infrequent posts. The other two programs required me to install MySQL databases, which worried me at first, but everything seems to be working and nothing seems to have been irretrievably corrupted.

The first is a an archive of my Tweets (as dull as they are) using Tweetnest. This was relatively easy to install once I realized that I had to tell my FTP program to display hidden files. Before that moment of clarity, I was sitting at the computer renaming .htaccess files and wondering why they persisted in vanishing the moment they started with a dot.

Learning curve complete and confidence restored, I moved on to Omeka. I have been dying to try Omeka. I want to eventually use it to create online galleries for the CLGA (fingers crossed), but I thought it best to learn how to use it first. After a a bit of fussiness, it was successfully installed. I now have a totally blank canvas to play with… now, to memorize descriptive standards…
