Thing 27- Twitter

I read about Twitter and I'm not convinced that I need it or want it at this time. I'm not aware of a group of people in my life who would want to keep up with everything I'm doing and thinking instantaneously, nor do I want to do the same. Maybe if I get a new job as a spy...or a traveling manager...or my kids all go to Europe at the same time...

Thing 26- Join the 23 Things Ning

I already joined the Ning as part of the first 23 things. I haven't done much with it, though, because I'm on Facebook. That's kept me busy enough.

Thing 25- Your Blog

I had decided that I was going to do Things at work more, and I seldom have time, but I actually had some time while at the service desk to start looking at the stuff in the Blogger's toolkit. I didn't have any luck with them, though. I thought it might be cool to use the star rating system that Outbrain offers in my blog, so I added it. Unfortunately, along with the stars came a lot of unwanted messages that looked like ads, so I just as quickly deleted Outbrain. I decided to give Feevy a try, so I opened an account and put three blogs in it. It didn't work, though. I was supposed to be able to put the blogs in the sidebar of my blog with a tag that they gave me. I tried several times, but I couldn't get the blogs to appear in my blog. I don't know what I did wrong. I also did the Myers-Briggs type thing that analyzed my blog, but I didn't agree with the results. They called me an extroverted, playful person and I have always thought I was introverted.

Thing 24- Refresh Your Blog

Actually I refreshed my blog back in late February, but the post had the wrong number. Besides that, I didn't like the other newer posts, so I decided to start over.
I looked at other templates for my blog, but I still liked this one so I kept it. I did redo my avatar to give my blog a more Minnesotan look.
