These 'Things' Are...getting serious.

Time to settle down and behave seriously, now that the first flush of excitement at being a novice blogger has passed.

I am not a huge follower of blogs, I would just dip in and out of them, the only blog I would read on a regular basis is our own library blog. I can see the benefit of having current information available in one place. As to how we could apply a blog to 'behind the scences' I'm not sure, is it possible to have private group blog, that staff could use to put forward ideas, suggestions etc. for discussion? Would you would feel more comfortable about doing it anonymously, rather than around the table at a staff meeting, what do people think?

Not so seriously, I have become a follower and a followee (I know it's not a proper word, but it will do), bit strange really and the responsibility of it is overwhelming! What do I say to keep my followers following.Oh the pressure. I have also posted a couple of comments on various blogs, so come on, somebody give me a comment on mine.

I have now completed my 1,2&3 Things

These 'Things' Are...not quite so scary!

Now that I have posted my first post, it's not so scary.
I've had a good browse around my iGoogle homepage, added a few bits and pieces to make it more homely. I can see the benefit of having all your 'web stuff' to hand, though I do have an incredibly long favourites list!! I never delete anything from it. Played around with the blog a little bit, deleted a post or two to see how to do it. So far, so good.

Week 1 in the BBL

Hurray! I am now officially a blogger.

Now what do I say? Where is the spell check? Found it.
OK my thoughts so far...
I have set up a gmail account before so that was fairly straightforward, got a bit of  a fright when I thought the whole world could see my igoogle homepage- then realised I was still logged in. Setting up the blog wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. My advice is to keep it simple (until we've had more practice).
