     Just remembered that I had the 23 things to get started on - oh yes, that little task.  This is my second blog site, but I've only written one blog entry - and that was because I HAD to do it for a tech class grade.  I'm not sure that blogging is in me.  It's sort of like my Facebook account.  I have one, and I occasionally peruse what others are up to, but I hardly ever feel compelled to write about what's going on in my life.  I guess I'm not much of an emoter (I think I just made up a new form of "emote").  Writing about what you are thinking and doing takes away time from actually doing it.  I'm already short on time and would rather live the experience than tell others about it.  Anyway, I've done what was asked of me.  I even decorated my blog site in lovely hues of blue.  The most irritating part of the whole process was that I couldn't get my avatar to be larger than a postage stamp.  I even tried editing the file in Adobe Photoshop, but no luck.  How will anyone truly appreciate the fine detail in clothing and accessories if THEY CAN'T SEE IT??  I will come back to this at a later time and try again.  The purple mohawk do was tempting, and since no one can really see the actual hairstyle that I chose, I may as well have chosen something wild and crazy. 
     I do think that this experience will help the technologically inexperienced to move along in the literacy process.  It will be a bit like a full body dunk baptismal rather than just a sprinkle, but it will either get people up to speed or cause an insurrection.  Time will tell . . .
