23 Things roundup

23 Things has been a steep learning curve - the only one of the 23 things I had previously dabbled with was Flickr (I’d searched for images but didn't realise there were groups and hadn't joined or posted).
Prior to 23 things I wondered what the attraction was with blogging & Youtube & facebook. They seemed like big timewasters. I’m afraid my mind hasn’t been changed about Youtube & Facebook but I think I’ll keep blogging and using Flickr & Delicious.
I liked iGoogle but it would be more useful if you could make it into fully customised desktop that could follow you from PC to PC. Its so frustrating when you work across campuses and have icons in different spots on the screen and software on one computer that you cant access from another without downloading it from the NAL or web. Delicious takes care of the bookmarks but something similar for your desktop would be great.

iGoogle Homepage & GoogleDocs

I uploaded a GoogleDoc today. Its a backup of my list of DVDs so that I dont get burned the next time my memory stick or my external computer drive dies.
I also created & personalised my iGoogle homepage & added weather, google docs, spreadsheets etc to it. Added optional extras like an animated banner & list tools too. When I made a list of my fav actors with the iGoogle list tool- it wouldn't let me add photos, so I experimented on my blog.
I made a table in dreamwaver, changed to code view & copied it to a blog post. I've been uploading unformatted images and then cutting & pasting them into the code for each cell. PS: Hooray! I got rid of the gap I had in my post between the text & the frame. I changed to Compose instead of Html & found lots of hidden returns.
