Rollyo - rolling, rolling, rolling

And so Task 12 took a lot longer than I thought it would. 

It took me a while to get my head around what this tool, Rollyo, is all about. It only twigged when I saw someone elses searchroll for guitar tablature. I saw that they had a selection of websites that have guitar tabs.. I realised that this could be useful when looking for lyrics for songs.  If I make my own search roll with trusted Lyric websites then I won't have to go through all the sites that have millions of pop ups, or hidden viruses.

I tried my hand at it and made a searchroll based on education resources. It was quite a frustrating experience because when I was trying to put my links in I kept accidentally opening them in the same tab as I was using to make the searchroll. Everytime that I had to go back to the previous page all my links were gone and I would have to start again. I did this about six time!!!!  My laptop is very touchy!  Anyway finally it is done and I have even created a searchbox here on my blog where you can search for things from a selection of different sources. Try it out...  It's on the right under my songs, above my Library thing catalogue.

I also added Rollyo to my searchbox on my browser and to my bookmark toolbar... so i have been rolled. :-)

Now it is time for sleep...
