Froggy finishes up Thing #25

Thing #25 officially done! I added some fun gadgets to my site. I think that finishes thing #25. Woohoo! What's next?

Froggy is now tired after working on Thing #25

Ah. Widgets and gadgets and gizmos, oh my! I read over the 20 usability tips. Some of them seemed to be common sense, like not giving details about work-related items. Who would do that, anyway? And some of it seemed overwhelming. So, I'm supposed to organize my posts and put them in an archive on the sidebar. I don't think I'm there yet. And since I only have one person (thanks Andy!) who's following my blog, I guess I'm not going to worry about all the commenting items just yet.

Posting by e-mail would be handy on certain occasions, but I don't think I'm that attached to my blog right now. I used to get AvantGo on my old Palm. I've since upgraded and didn't realize it was still out there. That's pretty cool. A friend of mine recommended Gcast instead. Hmmm... more research to do.

Seeing all the gadgets was interesting, yet again overwhelming. I like simplicity. I don't want to muck up my blog too much with unecessary things. But you can see I've already added my Shelfari shelf. So, on to adding more widgets/gadgets. Maybe tomorrow, or another day. I need coffee. Mmmm... Caribou coffee.

Froggy does housekeeping for Thing #24

I'm working on Thing #24. I think I got most of it. Maybe even all of it. I looked at the new templates for my blog. There are lots that weren't there when I started. Some of them are pretty cool! I didn't like any of them better than the one I have now, though. I like my look. I've been playing with some of my digital scrapbooking software and have thought about creating my own look, but it's a bit overwhelming right now. Maybe later.

I've added widgets. You can see my Shelfari widget. I added it before I started up with more things on a stick. I like widgets. I like the way the Shelfari widget displays as a bookshelf.

I added information about myself. I actually don't want to put it out there because I have another blogger blog that I'll be using for work purposes. The info's there now, but will disappear shortly.

I like my display name. I'm not changing it. I can't think of anything else I'd like to change it to. I don't want to put my real name out there, for now. I might at a later date.

I gave my avatar a new look for winter. You can go back in my blog posts and see where I did this. If it ever warms up here, I'll change it to more springy clothes and sites. I plan to put up some pictures of a "froggy" on my other tween blog for work. I just haven't gotten to it yet.

I registered my blog with More Things on a Stick. I keep getting updates by e-mail. Things are a-changin' every day, sometimes every hour. You guys must be busy! And I got the e-mail when my blog was added to the wiki. It's in the right place. Thanks!

Thing #24 DONE!

Anyone ever watch Monster House? I wish I had that big stamp and the echo-y sound when I put that in...
