Learning On The Go

by Jerri Ann

I don’t know if I have ever mentioned here but anyone who has emailed with me probably already knows it, but I have 10 blogs.  Two are sitting idle doing nothing, 2 are for advertising and celebrity gossip and get very little attention and the other 6, I am actively pursing.  And, if you get email from me, you see all the links in my signature. 

Last night I joined some women (and a few men) for what was known as "girls night out" (and some gents night out) on twitter for a big party.  Now, let me say that there was very few women or men in this big party that I had ever chatted with before.  But, I made some great contacts and some excellent information was put in my little pea brain.

Now, have I ever mentioned that I have about 200 blogs in my feed reader.  Have I ever mentioned that I rarely stay caught up.  On New Year’s Eve I about 7:30 or 8:00, I opened Bloglines and saw that I had 938 feeds in my reader.  So, I set a lofty goal of reading all of them by midnight and commenting on at least one third of them.

Let’s just say…I might would have been able to have read them all but I was tweeting and commenting and thus that little goal was not obtained.  I did finish up some time New Years Night and I did comment on almost 1/3 of them. 

So, I told you all that to say this, of all the blogs I read, I often run up on great websites that I want to share with you all but I don’t want you to think I found them on my own.  I mean, that would be real noble of me to make you think I’ve been sitting around all day researching this for you, uh?

Well, anyway, I opened my Bloglines earlier today and it was back up in the 300’s.  So, I started reading with my goal to comment on 1/3.  But, again, I got side tracked and I’m still working on that.  But I did find an awesome website courtesy of a blog I read by a woman name Yvonne.  She just goes by Y and her blog is Joy Unexpected.  She also has a weight loss blog but I can’t find the name of it or find it right now (I will though).  Anyway, she had this website featured on her blog and I’m merely passing along information, I’m certainly not going to take credit for find it.  Although, it is wonderful and you would all think I was great if I had found it myself.  Oh well, sorry.

The name of the website is Born Learning and you have to go check it out.  It is chalked full of information and I really spent way too much time over there.  Remember my goal was to read 300 posts and comment on 100 but..no, I’ve been on that site perusing the stuff.

    I don’t know how bloglines works, but in Google reader I can sort my feed into categories. I read a ton of blogs, hundreds. So folders them helps me get through them quicker.

    Glad you loved GTO, hope to see you there next Tuesday. OH, and there’s a homeschool Tweet chat too this coming Monday. Check PrincipledDiscovery for the details if you’re interested.
