Looking for Wireless?

Check out MetroFreeFi!

The searchable site lists free WiFi sites in Chicago and the suburbs!
The built in Google maps are a nice touch.

Most WiFi hotspots in the suburbs (according to this list)...Evanston.

No WiFi for our brary yet. :(

Very surprised to see Galena, IL on the list...
I had no idea The Irish Cottage had wifi. They're a great place to visit!
Great live music, super atmosphere, and many many of their super friendly staff is just-off-the-boat from the Emerald Isle.
My suggestion though: Leave the laptop at home and as Michael would say "unplug!" Relax and have a few pints!

Switchin'

Hello to you seven readers in Bloglines... and the undetermined number of other readers using other aggregators.

I'm going to give Feedburner a try.

Here's the new feed URL. http://feeds.feedburner.com/braryWebDiva

Thanks for your cooperation in updating to the new feed. :)

I'm using this blog as a test to see if I want to switch to feedburner to gather some stats for my library blogs...since I don't seem to have many subscribers to those in my community yet, and that won't inconvenience too many people...yet.
