Week 2 - Thing 3: create blog & avatar, Thing 4: register blog

Ok, I mananged to get the blog created. It wasn't too difficult. Had trouble with the profile. Wrote up all my favorites and when I went to save I got an error message and the entire profile disappeared - so I won't be posting that information again; unless I get lots and lots of comment requests to repost.

I registered with CSLA and had an almost instantaneous comment back. Thanks for the positive feedback and the reminder to make an avatar. I sort of jumped the gun on the order of the THINGS.

Went back and created my avatar - a very likeable resemblence - and when I'm feeling adventuresome I'm sure I'll get far more creative. Maybe something from the Tudor era - since I'm into the Showtime series right now. Did have some problems with exporting the avatar. The HINT steps on the School Library Learning 2.0 page didn't match with the blogger page I chose. Don't know if that will effect others too. These are the steps I did: copy the Avatar code from Yahoo, log on to blog site, select Manage: Layout, select Add a Page Element, select HTML/Java Script, select Add to Blog, paste in code.

I'm feeling pretty good about this first attempt to blog. Glad we can work at our own speed, I wouldn't be able to wait a week for Week 3.
