Thing #25

Well, I added a subscription widget and a widget showing who's following the blog. I'm hoping that people who stop by sign up as following so that I can go visit their blog. :o) I also added a poll.

It's easy to get overwhelmed with widgets. I one point you have to ask...is my blog about something or really nothing with lots of cool stuff? It'd be too easy to overdue it (I already feel like I have!). I spent about a half hour just digging through widgets. Trying to see if there was one that really had added VALUE. Right now...not so sure.

I also spent more time when I was at home just surfing. Maybe an hour? I'll be interested to see if anyone builds a widget. I saw that there is coding available but that is something I don't even think I want to dip my toe into.

As you can see I've collected quite a few widgets...I've dropped a lot of them into the bottom of my blog while I ponder if I really want to keep them. I do love my Good Reads widget - ever since discovering that in the first 23 Things I've been recommending it to everyone who could use it. Love it!

Thing #24

Well, as you can see my blogging has been sporatic at best....at worst I had I three month dry spell. What I enjoyed most about blogging was the fact that I had a place to put useful information so I could refer back to it and maybe it'd be useful to someone else. I like those kind of two-fers.

What I am really going to do is start communicating with my 23 Things peers on their blogs. That was one of the reasons I got involved in the first place, I wanted to network with people. Have a small online peergroup that was interested in throwing out ideas, brainstorming and sharing information. So, better watch out. Because I will come find YOU! ;o)

More 23 Things on a Stick - Yay!

Well, I'm back visiting my blog because the 23 Things has started a More 23 Things on a Stick. Anyone else planning on starting? I'd like to do more networking this time...get to know more people. ;o)
