question about polling

Hey does anyone know if you can add a poll to each of your post? I really wanted to have a poll for each of my books for my other blog.

Today's class was really cool just to see how far everyone has come with their projects. I've been messing around here and there looking at all the gadgets that blogger has to offer. I've been messing with the header and such. 

i'm not just a blogging nerd, i'm a cool blogging nerd!

That's right! My blog is officially cool. It's got the videos and the pics. (notice I used "pics" because I'm cool and down with this internet lingo!) It's a small step, I know, but it's so much prettier and cooler because of it!

My delicious account has been coming in handy lately. I have found a lot of sites from other people's list about blogs and how to make them cool. Tonight when I got off work, I logged in and was browsing through the list. I came across www.listible.com. It's a website full of list such as what you need for your wedding, how to cure certain things, and a list of the best facebook applications! (That one was a favorite.)

my blogging style

Today I added a few more blogs to my site. It's coming along. I found it interesting today how many people are writing out their blogs before they post them. It makes sense but I always post them and later come back to edit. For some reason seeing them posted and up makes me go back and reread them again. I'm horrible at editing my writing because I know what I mean to say. The only way I am able to edit is to write it out and come back two days later. (Usually this doesn't happen because I always seem to wait to the last minute with everything.)

the end of the night

So after countless hours of research and posting of many blogs, I convinced myself that it is time to go to bed and stop working on my blog for the night. One would think that after those hours I would be tired of working on the project, but oddly enough, I'm not. Writing about the things that opened my eyes to different aspects of life, came very easily. It was even enjoyable. Writing about my favorite novels that I read years ago, reminded why I loved them so much. Although I'm not even close to being finished, I am satisfied by what I got accomplished. 

My new rep

I reread Tim O'Reilly's article and found myself intrigued by Web 1.0. I kind of felt bad that I missed out on that era. (Or I just wasn't aware it was taking place.) Maybe I did. If it wasn't for this class, I would never have been aware that I was using Web 2.0.

One thing I appreciate the most about this class is that I honestly feel smarter because of it, at least when I am talking to my friends. I have never been very good with computers. But now that I am able to throw out phrases like "web 2.0" or discuss the role of a wiki, I have given off the impression to my friends that the computer and I are bff. I have been going along with this new label; however, I have been avoiding their request to take a look at the problems they have been having with their computers. I don't want to ruin my new rep or anything :)
