Go back to POST 8. Given the SNS you have now encountered, Delicious in particular, have your thoughts on the utility of tagging and categorizing changed in any way. Why or why not?

BE PREPARED to discuss your answer

- Blog POST 13

- Perform the following steps:

1) Login to your domain control panel.

2) Go to phpMyAdmin, the database management program you've used before.

3) Look in the left column for your database name (_researchlog or
prefix_researchlog).

4) Click on that link. In the main body area you should see some tabs across the top, one of which says "Export".

5) Click on the "Export" tab.

6) In the form that you will see, make sure the table in that database is selected, the "export" radio button is selected, do not make any changes in the "options" area, check the "save as file" checkbox, then press the "go" button.

7) Your browser will attempt to download a file to your desktop (or other directory location). When it has done that, you can exit out of the program.

8) Send the resulting file to Kristin (arola@wsu.edu) and cc Julie (jcmeloni@gmail.com)
