I’m currently working on tweaking this blog’s appearance and organization. 23 Things Kansas has definitely challenged me to work on developing my coding skills. That link was this week’s challenge: to find a way to quickly and easily deploy a list of links to all the participants’ blogs, a sortable, filterable, searchable solution. I think it worked! We’ll see.

23 Things Summit
Mar 3rd
I attended the 23 Things Sumit through Webjunction this afternoon. Great discussion and information about the program!
You’ll be able to listen to an archive of the program as soon as it’s over at the main page for the summit.
I attempted to collect all the URLs discussed in the presentation and in the chat box (it was done through Wimba online) on Delicious.
The summit also became the #1 trend on Twitter!
I’ll be excited to watch the discussion continue on Webjunction’s site.
