I registered my blogsite at night and of course, had to wait until the next morning to see the link appear on the list of participants. I found the online registration form easy and concise, and the whole process took only a few minutes.
I also downloaded the tracking log and I am getting more comfortable with post permalink URLs. Clicking on them makes all the comments appear. That is so cool. I even printed out the personal learning contract and signed it. Look to the righthand column and down a little to see my signature. My "work arounds" include consulting with 3 or 4 key people who are fearless in technology (including my liaison), working at night using my home notepad in case the work environment gets hectic, and taking a few breaks during the process, rather than get writer’s block...or blogger’s block.
My tech toolbox includes a good printer, speakers and earphones, an attachment for saving materials to a disk if necessary, and 2 computers: one at work and one at home. My home computer is dial-up, but the speed and capabilities seem more than adequate.

I think it was a great idea to personalize your blog this way! I added your blog to the list of "Some Blog Posts Worth Reading" on http://baltimorecountyparticipants.blogspot.com/ . We'll highlight a few blogs here each week. Thanks for sharing your process.
Ellen, it's an honor. Thank you!
I just noticed that I'm listed as a favorite site. Couldn't be more flattered. On a lighter note, fans of the Dick Van Dyke show should remember the one episode that featured Lincoln. Anyone aside from me remember it?
