...that she needs a second post about plug-ins!

Another useful plug-in for Omeka.net is CSV Imports.  Why, you ask...

Truth be told, Omeka can be a bit clunky when it comes to data entry.  By utilizing the CSV imports plug-in, you can input all your information in Excel, then export a CSV file into Omeka.  The only drawback is that since your values are separated by commas (hence Comma Separate Values!), any commas that are in cells such as Item Description will need to be treated specially.  This page will help you out if you choose to use this handy plug-in.

Now if you will excuse me, History Iguana needs to go sun.

  1. I love that A) you complete your open-ended sentence in your titles and B) that your iguana suns, because that's what iguana's do. :) This is a clever and fun theme you have here.

  2. Thanks! I had to research whether my photo of an iguana was of a male or female. I had envisioned HI as a male that spoke similarly to Antonio Banderas/Puss in Boots. But, alas, my iguana is a female.
