Thing 2

Thing 2 - Add the RSS feed of the Cam23 blog to your iGoogle page.

Really Simple Syndication

It is really simple to use and saves a tremendous amount of time. News that I'm interested in, the one that I have chosen comes to me, rather than me having to go to the news!! and at the same time I avoid all the non-new information on a web page, including the ads, menus, etc. Great tool to use in the future!!

Thing 1

Thing 1 - Set up your Google ID and build an iGoogle page.

I've started thing 1 from setting up Google ID which was very easy and they let me to use my existing email address instead of trying to create jet another one.
Then the fun part, building iGoogle = my personal portal where I can choice content, layout, design, and tools that appear on my home page. For the first time I have used Google for more then just a search engine and now thanks to Google gadgets sort of interactive mini-applications like personalized, weather, etc. now I can read news from multiple sources, watch cartoon strips and much more. I think this is what a homepage should be about - my stuff!!


Actually it was easy for me to use iGoole because I have been using My Yahoo for years and initially they are the same delivery mechanism!

life is about creating

Cambridge, June 2nd.


This is it! This is a moment when everything starts off. I’m about to create blog and my first

How I feel?

I’m excited and bit scared because I have impression that I’m about to enter into a different dimension of internet... Different things that I'm about to learn and explore.

What’s next?

I will try my best to lay out my intentions, it’s for my sake more than anyone else, just not to forget why I did create this blog and what for.
Why?

(I'm not doing it to get a Amazon voucher ;) promise!)

When first time I've heard about 23things, I expected something bit different. I wouldn't picture myself creating a blog; activity that would require from me more then hour a day. But then; I thought I will give a go and try something new, something I could use in a future.
I'm looking forward to use my iGoogle, (although I know it from MyYahoo which is the same thing really) RSS in everyday life by selecting only information that I'm interested in. After that another twenty things to go! For now I'm doing Thing3 and starting to be excited about things that I can learn out of 23Things :)

So, it’s time to bite the bullet and dive into the new world of blogging!

What can I expect?

I hope, a lot. For now I would like to learn how to design a blog, make it looks beautiful and and operate without major problems. But in the future I’m intending on posting about new projects of mine, my travels and experiences, thoughts on photography, current events and visual trends. I’d like to post about things that inspire me (not just images pulled from the web, although it’s nice in moderation, there are a lot of sites that do that already) and things I like to do. I’ll do my best not to use this as a soapbox from which to air my grievances, or as a vehicle for self-promotion. If you feel that I’m not doing enough of 23Things, or too much of it, remind me to cast my gaze back to this page, and I’m sure I’ll thank you for it.
So, with one hand over my eyes and the other on enter bottom with a whimper of trepidation, it’s both feet first into the 23Things.
