Will Learning 2.0 Fx me?

I've never created a blog before, so I'm already off and running into what life-long learning is all about, which in my funny way of looking at things is "keeping up with the youngsters".

I'm looking forward to getting to familiarise myself with sites I've never used before, Week 3 using Flickr will be a first for me, and from the questionaire we filled out in week 1 there's a few more I've never had much to do with to come!

I've read blogs and posted on them before though, in the broader sense. The site 'Gilmourish' has a blog each couple of weeks and I'm addicted to reading, and writing in questions and communicating, with the guitar guru Bjorn on that, and I've learned heaps about effects through him alone.

Distortion- I thought at least one of the blog examples in week 2 was more just a website, not much of a blog site at all, and I can see that the line can be a bit fuzzy at times if the site has information added regularly. A bit of Chorus can be added here as a few colleagues I've spoken to agree with me about that site.

Delay- Our library work PC's cannot link to sites like Youtube, GMail, facebook and myspace, so this caused and will continue to cause delays in doing those type of explorations, as we have to get time on the public internet computers, or I guess do it at home. Work's been good about it though, showing the clips via projection for group viewing, and supporting emails. But it took me 'til Friday to be able to start the blog because I couldn't do the joining GMail part until then. At least we can access blogspot, ie Learning 2.0 course and my blog, from our workstations. Boy that last bit of delay had heaps of distortion in it, delays can cause that though!!
