Thing 25 Bloggers' Toolkit

Gadgets are really fascinating. These little bits of code that do so many different things. I could have spent all day looking at them. I am adding the code for the "bitty browser."


This allows anyone to do a web search right from my post. I don't know how useful it will be, but there you have it. I also considered a Wikipedia search gadget and saw another gadget that would display a video stream directly from my webcam if I had one. I would not particularly enjoy that, but I am sure some people might.

I put up and took down several widgets before I left the bitty browser because I did not like the amount of advertising in some of the code. I know it is free, but I like it simple.

Thing 24 Refresh Your Blog

I have not done much with my blog since I finished Thing 23. I have blogged on other blogs and read other blogs, but don't do much with my own blog. I do see the value of blogs, but either I am not organized enough or don't care enough to do it myself. I have thought that it would be fun to have my mystery reader group blog about the our books, but that is as far as it went.

I have updated my page some and need to find out how to get the first 23 things off my front page, but I am ready to go. On to Thing 25!
