Week 3 Newspapers and Maine Newstand
I had kind of a difficult time using the Maine Newspapers features for this week's assignment. I think it is just a matter of playing with it a bit more to iron out the kinks however. Once I became oriented I was able to find some very interesting and varied articles on the topic I chose, 1970's Rock and Roll. I was NOT successful in creating an alert to let me know when something new is added that fits my search criteria. Not sure what I was doing wrong there. I did read a cohort's blog and left a comment, but when trying to publish it I just kept receiving the blurred letters to type in. It just kept telling me that I was not entering the correct code, so I don't think the comment posted. Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong would be welcome!

The Blogger human/robot-identifier codes include 2 words. One of them seems to be from a newspaper cutout; the other is sort-of cursive, but the letters are very close together so that they're hard to discern. The way I figure out what they say is to increase the size of the type in my browser. I use Firefox and click CTRL+ until the type is as big as it can become. I can usually tell what it says by doing this.
ReplyDelete1970's Rock and Roll is a pretty hip topic. I'm sure you found some great articles. I too had problems with the alert. I think it was more than a user error.
