Who am I?

This is extremely interesting. I must confess I have not put much though into my brand (it no doubt shows) and the recommended articles have given me much food for thought. I think that I shall have to work on this, particularly my LinkIn profile. I have been meaning to update that for a while so pehaps this will be the spur that I need. I did Google myself and to my surprise I found that I had about 5 pages worth. Thinking about my blog page I'm not sure that this wishy washy blog reflects my personality - or perhaps it does?

On another note, I attended an excellent session on medieval manuscripts last week and as part of the homework I was directed to the following site which I must share as I think it is a hoot and is perhaps an indiction of my type of humour

To blog or not to blog....?

Have completed the second task - obviously. I must confess I have not blogged since last year although I do regularly look at other peoples. Have changed the look of my blog a little although it is still not as fancy as some of the ones I have seen. There are certainly some very creative people around. I still feel very much like a novice as there seems to be more sites, gagets etc... than ever around. Still practice makes perfect and I shall get plenty of that over the next few months.

23Things 2011

Last year I ended 23Things with a final blog that lamented the ending of the course, this year I would like to say hurray - its 23Things time again. I shall not be lost this summer for 'Things' to do!



Thank you team for offering this again with extra's. I intend to work through it all again to act not only as a fresher but to try the things I opted out of last time. I also intend to try some of the 'Things' out on the staff and students. Breaking my leg last September meant that my plans were not realised, hopefully I can rectify this during the next academic year.


I completed Thing 1 by setting up a new iGoogle page - I had completly forgotten how to do it so it has been a great refresher exercise. It has ended up looking very similar to the one I created last year - now what does that say about me I wonder?
