Exercise 15: Commenting on other blogs.

On Anne Laidlaws blog I left a comment on her post, Investigative Exercise 3: Photo sharing and flickr.
Great post, I just looked through the National Library of Irelands flickr stream, everything looks awesome from the 'Small Lives' exhibition. You are lucky you got to visit the reconstructed site. My stand out picture would have to be the 'easy and graceful'. 
I also commented on the changes Anne made to her blog.Sophie
I commented on Saori Nemotos post Investigative Exercise 4: YouTube, and left the following comment:
 I really enjoyed this video of Neil Gaiman,it is sad that so many libraries are underfunded when they are so vital for communities. I love Neil Gaiman more than Anne

Exercise 12: Changing the colour of you blog.

I changed the entire layout, colour scheme, font colour and style of my blog.
I changed the text to the formatted white times new roman to grey size 14 bold Arvo. This text was easier to read and matched my colour theme for the template.

Investigative Exercise 1: Blogs

I looked at both blogs, but decided to choose an article from the John Oxley Library. The John Oxley library is part of the Queensland state library, it's main focus is maintaining a large heritage collection. The collection contains historic items relating to Queensland's history. The items include maps, photographs, manuscripts, artworks and published materials.
The blog post I chose was from the 21st of May, titled :
NEW ACCESSIONS: ANNIE LETITIA ELMES SHIPBOARD DIARY. This post showcases one of the collections newest item, a diary from a female passenger who migrated to Australia on the ship the 'Limerick'. This post interested me because of the photographs of the diary and the story behind the 8 week long journey from Europe to Australia.
