Things 1 and 2

I had already signed up for an igoogle account and spent some time customsing my existing homepage and looking for gadgets that are relevant to my library's subject areas,as well as some of my own interests. I was surprised by the number of hits..some trivial (for those not sure what to call their new pet, you can always try "cat name generator" ...) others more serious and relevant to my search terms.

here's a picture of my current homepage ( green colour scheme will be no surprise to anyone who knows me!)
