CPD23 - Thing 2
I've survived the first hurdle, managed to complete my first blog and see it successfully registered and on the delicious bookmarks. Managed to pick out a few blogs to read including some voluntary sector ones but everything went downhill when I tried to comment on one. Just kept going round and kept ending back to the log in page for bloggers.com. I think I did see someone comment that they had problems leaving comments on someone else's blog because of a bug with google mail and blogger.com. I wish I paid more attention at the time when I read the blog! I'll have to see if I can remember whose blog it was and how they got round this problem.

23 things for professional development
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.
