cpd23 thing 2. Success at last!

Have finally managed to follow some blogs. Hooray! I think there must be something in the College's Internet Explorer settings that affect Blogger, as I'm doing this from home using IE and it's working no problem. A colleague recomended using a different browser, so I might try Firefox at work next week and see if I get on any better. I know the college blocks students from using some social networking, such as facebook (hmm, not entirely sure why we always find students on Facebook then. They always seem to find some way around it!) but my colleage had success with Google Chrome so definitely worth a go on the different browser.

Anyway, I digress, I've quite enjoyed looking at some of the blogs and seeing what other people are up to. I'm currently following 6, but three of those are people that I know. I'll probably add another couple of 'stranger' blogs just to get a wider picture of how we're all getting on with the 23 things. I'm mostly sticking with other FE librarians at the moment, but I'll make the next few from different sectors. It doesn't do to be too insular! In common with many others, my selection criteria has been relatively random. Apart from mainly sticking to FE so far, I've gone for blogs that I liked the names of, or checked out people who'd left comments or were following my blog. Some of the names do make me laugh, or are quite intriguing, and it can be disappointing when you click on one and find no posts at all. I'll need to keep a note of those ones and check them out later

But a Friday evening is no time to be doing this. My intention was only to log-on for two minutes to see if it was working. Show's how easy it is to get sucked into this whole blogging thing!
