The goals for today were to add the Twitter link to my tweets and complete Thing 3 and 4.
Now that I know about the template designer I found adding the link relatively easy, finding my way around the blog and back again (I was also able to enlarge my title heading to be more easily read against the background picture. All I have to do now is start using Twitter as the three entries displayed are the only ones I have made and they are at least a year old!
It was while I was working on Thing 3 I realised that my 23 Things page had disappeared. As I had been particulary vigilant in saving drafts I was suddenly distressed that all that work ay have disappeared. Thankfully I used the 'back page' button, found it and copied it to a word doc., just in case. Man the fallibility of these technologies keep you on your toes. Ahhh...eureka moment - posts are saved then published, pages are saved as drafts, which you then have to publish.
Thing 3, about personal branding, was a most worthwhile exercise, getting me to think about my online presence, what is presented about me, and how I wanted it to attract like minded people with similar interests within the library world to spur and broaden my own. I have added to this blog accordingly but imagine I still have a way to go.
Thing 4 introduced me again to Twitter, this time with a couple more clues as to what it was for, but I have still come away non-plussed. Need to do further searching for interesting groups. Will continue with Thing 4 next week.
Throughout the morning the internet was incredibly slow which meant frustration at trying to get things done within the time I have set aside.
