Setting up a blog and Twitter

I didn't have to set up a blog for this class because I had already set one up for Barb's Children's Literature class last semester. Thanks, Barb, for letting me use the same one! From what I remember, setting it up was pretty easy, even for someone who has never had one. The only thing I found a little bit difficult was posting pictures, but I finally managed to figure that out.

Setting up a Twitter account was also pretty easy, though I haven't quite figured it all out yet, like, what exactly is the point?! But I am glad I have the account so I can see what everyone means when they talk about tweeting. I had an email today saying I had a new follower and it made me feel a little odd because I don't know who they are, but I'm just not used to connecting to people online that I don't know. I also don't know if I can erase the old tweets I receive. The only ones I signed up to follow so far are Penguin Books, The Library of Congress, Google, and 1 friend who is on Twitter. I don't really know how to contact or follow other people yet. I will have to fiddle with it some more.

  1. Hey, this blog looks familiar! The idea behind this course is to give you the time to look into the different applications. Since you got a head start with the blog, you should be able to look around Twitter and find see what there is to see.
