#10:Adding Image Generator Function

I downloaded an application called "Ad Slogan Generator," which is rather silly but amusing. Visitors to my site can now know the excitement of typing in a word or even a phrase and getting a variety of suggestions of ad slogans. I typed in technology and got "not just nearly technology, but really technology." Many of the results have that gee-whiz quality I associate with old 50's ads, and would be intriguing idea-starters for cards, wedding toasts, co-worker congratulations, etcetera. Unfortunately, quite a few of the slogans make no sense at all, and the layout I have chosen for my page creates a rather strange look to the slogan displayed. Nevertheless, I've accessed and used a generator in the 2.0 sense. One of the other image generators I did like was a tooth fairy letter generator, which would be lots of fun in Youth Services. I also tried to create a "Dummies" book cover, but was having trouble sending it to my Flickr account. No idea whether I am doing it wrong, but will try it again, because Web 2.0's cover made it look like fun, and she said it was easy...On to Librarything!
