Week 13 Refreshing your blog


OK, I'm going to get back to this Learning 2.1 properly. I've finally figured out how to reconfigure things (intentionally) now and have chosen a nice new layout. My picture of the National Library of Malaysia is a bit big but I'll try and fiddle with it when I have a bit of time. It is interesting looking at the stats for my blog. I even managed to get 4 visits from people in the US - I don't remember anyone from UC going there so these people must have 'accidently' got to my blog.
To answer the Learning 2.1 questions - I haven't blogged at all since Learning 2.0, mainly because I was playing around with Facebook. I've decided I don't really like Facebook though. Some people Facebook incessantly and I haven't got time to read about every little thing that people do. I might take up blogging a bit more, my only block is figuring out a good purpose for it. I've really appreciated blogs with themes to them e.g. blogs of people travelling with a chronic health condition like MS, cancer, etc. It gives good insight into what people go through, the not-so-good bits and well as the triumphs. Read a good one recently of a young Australian guy who was very ill but he put up a video showing how much he loved his wife (Hugh Jackman also made a cameo appearance on it). I can't remember what the guy's name is now but will put the link to the video up when I remember. Occasionally I'll put a comment on other people's blogs, usually an encouragement. People need all the encouragement and connecting with people that they can get, I think. There is too much busyness in this world.
