Thing 26: Join the Ning

I had joined the 23 Things on a Stick Ning in the first round and didn't do much else. So, this time around I actually got some friends and talked to different people and looked at different videos people had uploaded to the Ning. I feel that Ning is a really great formate for a library to create a Ning and having people subscribe and join the library in social networking.

Thing 25: Blogger's Toolkit

I played around with a lot of widgets and I will not lie it took me a long time for me to figure out how to insert the desired html for the widget I wanted. However, I finally figured it out and it was relativity painless to use. The features that I added was a clock (because I like to keep time), RSS feed (so that other people can subscribe to my blog easily), and some fun features like hangman or trivia. So, there is a lot of widgets that a person can chose and it was a lot of fun to play around with them. I can see how some of these features like the RSS feed or the polls can really helpful to get people interested in your website or blog.
