One of them bears Homer Simpson's mug on its front hood. Link to flickr gallery. J-Walk blog phonecammed some of these cars in LA, too: Lin k. (Thanks, Sean Bonner, and fattymarmot!).

Homer Library Comes Home to My
Aggregator! 09/24/2004 09:17 AM

My home library unveiled a new web site today and the home page is now a blog (powered by Blogger). Happy, happy, happy dance, happy, happy, happy dance!

Of course, my favorite part is the sidebar on the right-hand side where you'll find links to Ask a Librarian (their email and VR service), Find It Online (their database section), ListenIllinois (my statewide group purchase!), the new Homer Community web site (funded by a library the grant received - more on that in the future), and ........drum roll, please....... an RSS feed!! Happy, happy, joy, joy, happy, happy, joy, joy! Subscribed!

Of course, this will change my RSS class because I always show how I can't find my library's feed in Bloglines or Yahoo as a way to prod attendees to get their own feed. Now that will change when the feed does appear!

Oh, and one of the blog posts mentions a LibraryLookup bookmarklet for their catalog!

Did I mention I'm happy?  :-)
