[Web4lib] creative commons children's story in the news

[Phil Shapiro]

hi web4lib community -

     the takoma gazette newspaper (in takoma park, maryland) has a very nice
article this week about a collaborative storytelling project i've been involved
with.

     see http://tinyurl.com/hujkn

     the article is about a rich media children's story that i've posted on the
web at http://sammybook.blogspot.com

      if you know any storytelling enthuasists in the washington dc-area, do
suggest that they stop by the takoma park maryland library to chat with me
sometime. i work here mondays thru friday from noon to 6 pm.  the address here
is 101 philadelphia ave, takoma park, maryland 20912.  (subway stop: Takoma, on
the Red Line.)

      or people can send me an email to: pshapiro at his.com  with the subject:
storytelling

          - phil shapiro

on the web site for the story at http://sammybook.blogspot.com you'll see that
i list the web4lib email list as one of the communities i support. i'm
hoping that might steer some web traffic to our community.

for those who might be wondering, i created the story web site using the free
blogger.com service, owned by google.  when i need a quick, elegant web site, i
set up another blog on blogger.com.  it takes me about 2 minutes to do so.

     i currently have about 80 "blogs" on blogger.com

      (oops, i got a bit carried away, but the service is free and it suits my
needs, so i use it.  <grin>)

      someday i'll teach myself web design using the free http://nvu.com
program.  until then, i'll be creatings "blogs" wholesale on blogger.com

       later in august i'll be submitting this rich media children's story to
digg.com so that a wider group of people can learn about this project.  if you
don't yet have an account on digg, this is a good time to register for one.
