By way of explanation, or first post December 14, 2006

This blog (did I just say that?) will really be up and running in January 2007. There will be news about libraries as well as the chronicles of my experience with Learning 2.0.

It’s taken me a lot of time just to get my widgets the way I want them, icons and all. This is very discouraging for someone who’s new to this whole thing. This surely can’t bode well. I can’t imagine how I’ll import my blogroll here. Best not to think of it now, though. I do deserve a rest.

I hope I’ll be able to say it’s worth it when all’s said and done.
