I'm currently in my second year of revalidation and any chance to take part in any type of professional development must be a good thing, especially that it's free! It's also a chance to share my experience and knowledge with other librarians.
I've very limited experience with social media. I did the web 2.0 course a few years ago but then didn't have any opportunities to use it so it's all very vague. The only evidence that I did this course was when I went to set up my google account, I had one set up already! I had a minor panic when I decided to look at other blogs to see what everybody else had written that they all seemed very competent and very literate and then when I went back to continue with my ramblings, my blog had disappeared. I'm also had fun with updating up my profile which doesn't want to save that I work in the non-profitable sector in the uk. It keeps changing back to non-specified. I'll have to have another fiddle with this later, no doubt I'll be wanting to experiment with this and the template as I get more confident with blogging. I'm just getting used to the basics of blogging - logging on and off, editing etc
I'm happily listening to 6 Music Glastonbury Highlights - been some of those plus some low lights as well! I'm going to attempt to publish this and register myself and then cook some dinner - Spinach and feta cheese pie, potato pilav and cabbage and tomatoes - Middle eastern style.
Good luck with blogging, It's good to find out how others have fared in this set-up stage. I'm still feeling my way around and have found some really interesting blogs. I have signed up to follow some (not too many at the moment as I'll get a bit overwhelmed with information until I can manage it better)but I can't seem to get the list of those I follow to show on my site like others have - so it's back to the drawing board!
ReplyDeleteStill at least we're having a go. I look forward to hearing more from you :)
It's abit daunting. There's some really good blogs out there. I've been experimenting with commenting on other blogs tonight and redesigning my blog. I'm going to have a go at signing up to follow a few later on this week. I'll let you know if I have the same problems of getting them listed.
