Blogging

I've been inspired to add a few extra things to my blog after seeing some impressive examples of others taking part in this project. I've added a picture and a few other gadgets, and I'm going to add some links to other blogs I like to read as well (some work-related, some just for fun - see list at the bottom of the page).

A bit about 23 things

I realise that this is going to appear in the wrong order, but I just wanted to write a bit about why I decided to take part in 23 things. As I said earlier, I've been interested in Web 2.0 for a while now. While I was a trainee, I created a podcast for my trainee project, and I try and take part in other Web 2.0-related projects as part of the Law Library web team.

I hope that by taking part in the 23 things challenge I will be able to broaden my knowledge of what's currently out there and hopefully find some new things that could be useful both for me personally and at work.

23 Things Challenge: getting started

As I am already interested in Web 2.o in libraries, I was keen to have a go at the 23 things challenge: doing 23 Web 2.0 related tasks between now and April.

I think I've made a fairly good start. Earlier this week I created an iGoogle account and began merrily adding gadgets and configuring things. Here's a screenshot of what I've managed to do so far (see above).

Also, as you can see, I have set up a blog to document what I'm going to be doing over the next few months. I've worked with Blogger before for a trainee project, so at least the set up is quite familiar. I'll have a go at customising it a bit later, as the basic templates are a little bland.
