Moving Along

Actually, that title is misleading. I like wordpress just the way it is. But it won’t let me insert the badges that we are supposed to add this week.

I remember last year when I started this blog. After 2 years of using Blogger, I had to learn a lot. My problems then, as now, were mostly with adding things to my blog. If I leave it alone and use it as a blog, it works wonderfully. When I start trying to do other things, I have trouble.

For the purposes of SMiELT, I understand why we are trying to facilitate the networking by adding the badges to our blogs. It is nice to make it easy for people to find our accounts on Flickr and del.icio.us. I really love looking at what people have saved on del.icio.us, and it would be nice for people to see what I have saved.

What I have done, instead of the badges, is add the de.icio.us widget to my sidebar.  If you click on the link, you are taken to my account page.  You can, from there, subscribe to it, if you want.  (I am not really advocating that.  My account has some really strange things saved!)

I use del.icio.us a lot. If you aren’t really familiar with it, please look at the accounts like Patricia’s or Bee’s.  I guarantee you will find some really interesting articles to read.
