Did you know that blogging just celebrated it’s 10th birthday??? BBC-Blogging Racks Up a Decade 10 (Ok, I know it didn't "just" happen...when I wrote this a belatgd birthday card still would have worked! Time flys, I am telling you....)

Ok, so I tried to email Tom and it bounced back to me.
Yup. Same here. Probably one of those kinks in the system that hasn't been worked out yet.
Try emailing Tom at simpson.thomas@ocls.info
The blogging song sure had many sites I have never heard of. I hope we will get a list of these sites in further lessons.
I apalogize for the link problems -most probably ghosts in the machine. IS is aware and as soon as they get done dealing with their very big fishes, I am sure they will get to this small fry. Thanks for Libriangrl for posting my email address.
A list of websites to visit...getting the list might be painful but I might be able to pull some nuggets from the song and add them to the list.
Tom
WOW GOOD INFO OUT THERE
Hi everyone. Glad to be back with Learn 2.1. Love the blogging song. So Tom, you don't want to listen to the song 50 times to compile a list of the resources mentioned in it?
i also tried to e-mail Tom and it bounced back.
Rachel in HR here. I am a little behind on Learning 2.1 but I am determined to get through all the lessons. I am just trying to keep up with the ever changing world wide web. I may not use everything I learn about, but I always want to keep informed of all the latest developments.
blogs are great. My husband and I did one with travellerspoint when we travelled and it really helped friends and family keep up with us and also calmed their nerves because they could see frequently that we were ok.
