Thing #3: Blogs!

This activity was setting up this blog and the avatar. It was a little stressful for me. But then again, any time I set something up on the internet I tend to stress about it more than not. I fret over every detail of what to call the blog to what kind of cat would be in my avatar (mainly because they did not have a cat that looked like mine.)

However, the tools themselves were pretty straight forward. When I think of it, I find blogs to be generally good for people as a whole. I love finding new and different kinds of blogs out there; things that pre-internet, I feel would never get beyond a small group of like-minded people. I think you should start a blog, too! You never know what will strike a cord with the masses or what will just be really enjoyed by a few.

The only problem I had that was not of my own doing was exporting my avatar to my blog. The code that Yahoo! was generating was incorrect so the picture was broken. However, after playing around awhile, I figured out what the long string of letters that identified my special avatar were, and just edited the script so my lovely avatar would show up. BTW, I don't really look like my avatar, in real life, I'm much more three dimensional.

Hmmmm... the prompt says I'm to write about looking at other people's blogs. I have looked at other people's blogs before, many in fact. I'm not sure if I'm to write about others who are doing 23 Things or just in general. I've done both so I think I'm covered.

I took a long look at Cynthia's blog where she covered her 23 Journey. She's already done, so it's a great place to look and see that there is a way to finish all of these in time!

Another blog I follow regularly (and comment) is my friend Kimberly's blog where she talk about cooking and food. She's an amazing cook & baker, and we are kind of in competion. However, what she doesn't realize is she has already won.
