I found this library blog --> http://nmhlibrary.typepad.com/the_reading_room/ and I liked it alot. Visually it had clean lines with clear links to other information I might be interested in. (I know you arent supposed to end a sentence with a preposition, but really does anyone say "in which I might be interested"??) Anyhow back to the blog - the entries are concise with a mix of pictures and text and MOST IMPORTANTLY they are regularly blogging. I was suprised to see how many blogs I ran across that were not updated very often - what is the point of that? I thought the "Bookmark of the Month" entry was a great idea as well.
On the flip side... I found this blog --> http://www.grandviewlibrary.org/ wow scary - I was completely overloaded. There could be the best information in the universe here and I would never know because there is just too much for my pea brain to process on this page.

I love how they are bringing individuals into interest on the NMH Library blog (i.e. "The FIRST LIBRARY LOUNGE LIZARD"). :-) That's a way to generate buzz and "tell a friend" traffic which makes social networking work. :-)
Grandview does look rather ... "busy" but it also seems to be trying to pull in children's attention. Frankly, although I'm sure my 2 year old daughter would love to look at it, even if she were older I wonder if she'd be able to pull anything useful out of that mess. It looks as if Dr. Seuss and Beatrix Potter got together and made a webpage... Back in their own times.
Peace,
