Thing 24

I'm back.
Clearly, I haven't spent much time adding to my blog, but I must also say that I have shared some of the 23 Things many times over with colleagues and friends. I have also continued to use several of the Things. I am trying very hard to add books I've read to my Librarything.com. I used my PictureTrail on the school website. I've tried to get in the habit of using Del.icio.us. I've reconnected and kept up with friends and family through Facebook and following the blogs of others.

I just spent a little time changing the template for my blog and playing with the layout. I looked at other templates... but the one I liked the best was in a foreign language, so I couldn't read how to apply it... I probably could find a tool to translate, but it just wasn't that important to me. :-) I looked at a few of the new gadgets and added a couple blogs to follow, the local weather, and added a countdown to iGoogle. I couldn't see how to add it to my blog. I also ran into a couple gadgets that wouldn't work. I added a couple of pieces of information to my profile. I added a silly picture and changed my avatar as well. I still feel strange putting too much personal information out on the internet. For one, I tend to be rather private... two, who is that interested in the minutia of my life, ... and three I've seen people just put too much out there. Who has that kind of time... and why do they think people will care?

Even though I may seem ambivalent about blog posting, I must say that it is nice to think through and be able to look back at the 23 Things as a refresher.

I look forward to More Things on a Stick!
