Exploring

I have now completed task 3. I have read the blogs of the other cohorts embarking on this course and left a few comments. I must admit that it is a little difficult to know what to say, is there a blogging etiquette??

I have also searched for other blogs. I tried using webicina.com, this was specifically medical social media. This was useful but most of the blogs were American. Goolge blog search was better and I found a nice example of a blog by St George's Hospital library http://stglibrarynhs.wordpress.com/2012/09/10/library-induction-for-nhs-staff/

The St George's blog is a good example of how a blog can be used to promote a service rather than a blog of an individual.

During my search I also added a couple of the blogs that I found to follow. I must confess that at this point I feel like I am muddling through. It is not overly clear what certain things do, but I intend to find out!!!

First Muse

So task one and two of "thing 1" completed, evidenced by the posting of this blog. I chose to call my blog musings as it seemed such an appropriate word.

I have embarked on this course as it appears more manageable in this cut down version than the original 23 things. I hope that this course will give me more confidence and it's just interesting to try new things.
