I've had a bit more time to look at other people's offerings today and have managed to find something to say on a couple of people's posts. If I have any complaints it's the anonymity factor, which I suppose is one of the reasons people do this sort of thing. I know that there's a chance that some of the blogs I've been perusing today have been written by people I know... I just don't know which!
I look forward to the challenges we will be given in the weeks to come; I am already finding the temptations of 23 Things too difficult to resist when my day gets dull...

The Blogs Of Others
It's interesting, looking at the things other people on this programme have written. The consensus (from the several I have looked at this morning) is that most people like iGoogle, although I am disappointed not to see more penguins! I didn't comment on anyone's blog; perhaps when I come across something more interesting than the usual similar responses I will do so.
Incidentally, just to clear things up, the reason this is "Katie Mae's 23 things" is that there was already a Kate on here, and technically my full name is Katie Mae. Blame arty parents with a liking for the works of Lightnin' Hopkins...
I look forward, as the programme progresses, to seeing how people develop their blogs and I hope to have time to do justice to mine. I also hope fondly that someone else will read it; not having had much of an online presence before it would be very disappointing if I registered no interest at all!

Start Pages
I kind of like iGoogle. I like the penguins, having my horoscope on my homepage and being able to just get at all the things I usually scroll around for. It is periously easy to get sidetracked though! Whether I will retain the frivolous things I first added remains to be seen...
First things first...
Well, this is new!
When I first heard about the 23 Things Programme I was dubious that I would manage to find the time for it as I am already in the throes of a Masters degree by Distance Learning and seem to spend an inordinate amount of my spare time doing that. Still, Laura Wilkinson is persuasive, and I figured that there was probably much I could learn from the programme.
The trouble with the internet is that it is like any tool; you use it in the ways you know how to use it. With all the developments that have happened in the last few years it would be foolish of me to put off learning about any of these things any longer. I am typically late to embrace these things; I only joined Facebook in November last year!!
I don't know that I have any expectations for the Programme. I hope that some of the things I learn about will eventually become second nature, much like all the other innovations (mobiles, email etc) have over the years. Those I find less useful will no doubt fall by the wayside, but at the end of the day if you don't try new stuff you never know!
