August 27, 2007 and #21, #22, #23

Well, it's been a good while since I was bloggin, 7/27 I think was my last entry. I do find it sad that others are not checking out blog sites that others have created and leaving their comments to share. I try to check a couple out each time I login and leave at least one comment. I find it very frustrating that very few have completely filled out their profile screen, under About Me, so that others will know who they are. So, now back to more bloggin fun...SaraSmile. #21, Useful tools for searching podcasts, try Podcasts/Merlin seems very useful. #22, downloadable audiobooks I probably will never use but glad that it is out there for others to use. #23, Summary of 23 things: before I began I had no idea what a blog was or what 23 Things was. Because I like learning by trying this was a great learning experience. I learned how to create my very own blog, explored Flickr, found out about RSS feeds (I owe Debbie Ruth a McD's lunch for explaining that one to me), looked at online image generator and Rollyo, found out about tagging and discovered Delicious and Technorati, and then learned about Wikis and the Learning 2.0 Sandbox, then used an online word processing tool and that was lots of fun to use, then looked at the Web 2.0 awards list, then had the most fun getting a poll posted on my blog and others have voted - check it out, and also great fun doing a YouTube feature on my blog, and then looked at some podcast searching tools, and learned about downloadable audiobooks, and finally to do my summary posting about this learning experience. I have also realized how important it is to select the right colors for text, background, foreground, etc. when creating a blog page, so that text and colors can view clearly while still being creative in the creation. What a kick.
