avatars r us

Trying to work through the 23 things on a stick--the first one was start a blog, create an avatar. I started the blog a week ago, got distracted (with work, I think--but it could have been life, the learning curve, family, Thanksgiving plans...something!) and didn't get back to doing the avatar thing until just now....

And I made one--and like it, oddly enough....and can't seem to load it onto here. I'm a little frustrated--it may be time to walk away for a bit!

It's really, really hard to love the learning curve sometimes!

23 toes wet

Yesterday I attended Doug Johnson's webinar....this morning I've read through a bit of his website, handout, found the 23 Things on a Stick site and signed up for this blog. (I've never really loved writing like I've always loved reading...but I'm going to push myself on this since I know from Nat. Board how writing is reflection, ratchets up learning. And I've always been big on sharing....) I hope the 23 Things site stays up long enough for me to get through the course, though....

Funny how things mesh sometimes. I recently read Once You're Lucky; Twice You're Good...about the development of many of the 2.0 web tools.....here I am trying them out. Maybe I should have named my blog something about "old dogs..."

And last night I also read Robin Williams' The Non-Designer's Design Book (not the comic Robin Williams, though...) so I'm going to be a little more aware of layouts now. Hmm..

Nearly time to start getting ready for work now.
