I'm looking forward to learning about how to blog and what it is all about
Go to the people. Learn from them. Live with them. Start with what they know. Build with what they have. The best of leaders when the job is done, when the task is accomplished, the people will say we have done it ourselves.
I am looking forward to learn about blog too.
Hi! i'm ready for this new experince.
i'm confused about the different places to post comments. which one is the "official" blog?
What's all this Blogging stuff anyways??!!
The main blog is the one marked "home" or www.queenslibrarylearning.blogspot.com. The others are mainly informational and will not have weekly updates.
Each week, two or three posts will feature one of the 23 1/2 Things. You only need to check the main blog once or twice a week.
This is getting harder and harder for me. I feel like giving up and fast too.
This is HARD!
