Thing #1 Set Up Your Blog

Whew got all of those new email accounts set up. I was suprised at how easy it actually was to work through those processes. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks! The instructions are very easy to follow and I think I could tell a patron with confidence it is very easy to set up a free internet e-mail account.

The blog was fairly easy too. Very straightforward to work through. I can't believe I've got a blog of my own. I've heard people talk about them (mostly teens) but never thought I would have one of my own. Other than completing the 23 things I can't see how I will be using the blog very much in everyday life but this experience will be very useful to learn a lot of new tech kinds of things. I always thought of myself as fairly computer savvy but see there are a million things out there I wasn't aware of...

Creating the Avatar was fun. I can see how that could be very addicting and how teens could spend hours on this kind of thing. Now I know why they spend so much time at the library on our internet stations.

I know I will need to learn how to fully utilize my blog in the coming couple of months. Right now I'm just trying to get a grasp on the whole experience. But then I've always said I want to be open to mind expanding excercises.
