Thing 8

It is a pity that our institute filters vodcast & streeming video.
I am a visual learned and podcasts are only useful up to a point.
I found a great directory for vodcasts, but will need to check it out at home,
here is the URL anyway: www.vodcasts.tv

Thing 7

With comments blogging can be a very powerful tool.

Thing 6

It is definitely useful to link up with other bloggers whether you are running a business or just to share information about common interests.

Thing 5

I use RSS feeds and have a google reader account. I subscribed to some feeds in the past (for my many hobbies!). After a while I found the information overload a bit time consuming.

Thing 4

Another easy task I guess!

Thing 3

Not a difficult task. I am very fussy with colour schemes and personal expression could be helped if blogger had more templates to choose from.
There are a few free ones available online anyway.

Thing 2

I use Firefox most of the time and I am familiar with extensions and add-ons.
I particularly like 'Fast Dial' and 'Colourful Tabs'. If you haven't used them yet check them out if you have time. They are really cool!
