Blog and IM experience

This is the second blog I've created, so it wasn't too difficult. I think the hardest thing is trying to create a name and choosing the look of the blog. I wish I was more creative, but I'm always afraid that if I don't name it something simple, related to the project I'm working on, I will forget it.

I'm not terribly comfortable about posting too much personal information on the web. I like to keep my privacy, and I am somewhat distrustful of having personal information "out there" for anyone to see.

Setting up the instant messaging was more of a hassle since the screen name I wanted was already taken, and even my second choice was taken, so I settled on shopper618. I had fun making a wee me, though. I'm looking forward to chatting with my colleagues. I work second shift, so if you are on during that time, hopefully we'll meet via IM!

Hello, and welcome to my blog!

This blog has been created to fulfill the requirements of the UK Blue 2.0 workshop hosted by the University of Kentucky Libraries. I will be posting my thoughts on the process of learning all about web 2.0 capabilities and utilites. I am looking forward to the experience!
