Thing 3

Utilities

Uploading my library card to the Key Ring app was not as easy as I had hoped. Luckily I had  read Christy Walker's post about this one ahead of time, so I did what she did (i.e., just guessing which was the right bar code--none of them looked to me like they matched the one on my card). When I tried it with one of our self-checks, it didn't work, but it DID work on the other self-check in the children's department.

Just for kicks, I tried CardStar, which is the same idea. This seemed easier to set up--it skipped the step of asking you to choose the matching bar code, and it didn't add those confusing letters at the beginning and end of the card number. And it worked. So I deleted Key Ring and plan to add a bunch more cards to CardStar.

P.S. I also went back to Thing 1 and took some more time to set up this blog to make it prettier and include all that narcissistic profile info. I think I deserve extra credit for all my hard work!
