Thing 27--Twitter

Well I kind of jumped ahead and decided to check out what Twitter is. I actually happened upon it by accident. I was reading our new staff connections newsletter about a workshop we have coming up "Reference in the Electronic Age Workshop". I wanted to check out the speaker's blog so I clicked on the link. On her blog she had a article about Twitter and I clicked on the link Other Places You Can Find Me and Twitter was one of the places so I clicked on it to see what it was all about. I decided I wanted to read more of what she had to say so I signed up for my own Twitter account so I could follow hers. When I loaded my Yahoo address book I discovered a friend of mine also had a Twitter account and I could follow her also. I also added Twitter as a RSS feed so now I think I did another "thing". I am not sure how much I would use twitter but it was kind of fun to set up and check out. I tried to set up my mobile phone by following the directions but no matter how many times I tried my registration would not go through. I think it is one of the setting on my wireless phone account that won't let me connect to twitter. Well I must have been doing something incorrectly when I tried this earlier because I just managed to register my phone using a different method. I just sent a message from my cell phone and it posted on my twitter page--way cool!!!! My url is http://twitter.com/katdew

More playing

Well I am still playing with my blog's look. I have now added a slideshow of sunsets. In looking for an avatar (which I am not having much luck with) I came upon "Webfetti" and added a sunrise background. I am going to give it a try for a few days and see if I want to keep it or not.

Thing 24

Well since this is my first time, it is kind of hard to "refresh my blog".
I did look through the templates and gave myself a harbor look because right now I am in Marquette MI and looking out my son's back door I look at the harbor on Lake Superior and it is a beautiful sight. I have also registered my blog on NLLN and taken the time to look through everyone's blogs to get some ideas and see if I could figure out whose blogs were from librarians in LARL.
Now I am going to try and find an avatar for my site.

Just Getting Started

Hi Everyone--
This is my first blog ever and so I am just a "newbie". I was able to figure out how to put up pictures, so my favorite subjects are now present on my blog. I am kind of excited to try out "More things on a stick". I love trying new technology and am willing to take the time to check out each thing.
