Thing 13 - Reflections

If only I had followed Bengt to Sweden. Sigh........

Almost forgot about this 'thing' and wanting to start this week up-to-date leads me to pen a quick post about what I think about the programme so far.....

I found the initial setting up of the blog straightforward,  although settling on a name was the hardest part! I am not new to blogging so was quite confident that I wouldn't have any problems registering the blog or customising it, however when it came to posting about the first thing I wasn't quite sure what tone I should take. As time has passed though I feel that I have got into my stride and am now comfortable both posting and commenting on other blogs.

I have enjoyed reading other people's blogs and adding the odd comment, although it seems that a few have fallen by the wayside as the weeks go by which is a shame. From my own perspective I have found it a bit of a struggle to fit it all in and consistently put together meaningful posts, although I am grateful for a few quiet stints on the loans desk allowing me time to catch up! I fully intend to see the programme through to the end though and remain an active participant since it is clear that you get as much out of this programme as you put in....

The highlight of the 'things' so far has definitely been the Twitter activity which confirms for me that Web 2.0 really is all about networking and collaboration. So although writing reflective posts is important, I think there should be more commenting on each others posts as well - perhaps a tall order considering the number of participants and posts to read each week.....
