Things 1-4: Violating the Rules Already

I think somewhere in the directions for the 23 Things, I'm reminded not to combine Things...to make a separate post for each one. Perhaps the Kickball Captains will forgive me for combining these first four...

Things 1-3: The creation of this blog and my previous entry completes Things 1-3. So far, so good! No complaints, except I can't seem to make my av any bigger. I want it as big as possible so I can admire it (since I don't really look like that!). What other avatar tools are out there--besides using a REAL photo (Eeek!) of me?

Oh, and it seems that the hardest part of starting a blog is coming up with a clever name for it. I've encountered this before when having to create usernames. As soon as I finally pick something, I see other people's great monikers and think, "D'oh! Why didn't *I* think of that??? Or something just as clever???"

Thing 4: Registering my blog with VWB was easy. The only thought it took was creating a suitable email title and keeping the blog name vs the blog URL straight. *gives self thumbs up*

Now on to Thing 5: Flickr...
