Thing 2 - Exploring other blogs

Wow - what a lot of blogs! Isn't fantastic that so many people are doing this? And isn't the name of my blog so dull compared to many others? Daffodils in the Library was one of the first I looked at, because of the lovely name!

I started my wanderings by looking at some other health/medical blogs and left some comments here and there. Quite daunting really as I don't normally leave comments, even though I read quite a few different blog posts. This seems quite a common theme on many blogs though - being new to it all.

So I looked and commented on some fellow NHS librarians:
The Ayre Line
Leanne, Library and other Ls 
Life in the fair-middling Lane

It will be interesting to compare our experiences as we progress through the programme.

I then branched out a little into the Charity/voluntary tag and found
A Librarian Learns about Web 2.0 who has a very interesting sounding job!

and then Christina Harbour as she works down the road from me but we first met in Limerick at Lilac2010!

Still need to play around with my own blog and add some stuff to it, so far I've only added my Twitter feed.  I like the map in the stats section of blogger though - you don't get that in wordpress.

  1. Hi Deborah! It's really interesting to see how people doing Thing 2 are selecting the blogs they look at--I like the way you've looked at blogs depending on the name first, and then the kinds of libraries. That's a far better policy than my 'just picking blogs at random based on people that tweet that they've blogged'! But good luck with the programme and I'll look forward to seeing what else you've got to say. :)

  2. Hi Deborah, I'm wandering round commenting on people's cpd23 blogs. I like your twitter feed - I've not yet really got to terms with twitter myself which is part of the reason for doing the cpd!
