Figured out how to add Penn's LibraryThing account.

What Penn finds 'worthy'

Now what?

Now what?

Now I need to figure out how to get my other 2.0 things over to this page.
Facebook? Probably not
Library Thing ? Probably
Google reader? maybe

I need to know what I can do with the 2.0 technology I have and the new stuff I am learning about and how they all fit together and if I want them to fit together...

How soon is now?

Blog away!

So, here I go.
Stay positive stay focused.
Blog what you know.

I am torn between font sizes and colors... will have to work through that later.

Got two books on blogging.
Problem solved?
