Whew!!! My own social newtowrk. I feel like i am already a part of so many other people's social networks...and now I am ready to synthesize it all and combine it into a one-stop-shopping experience for me! To create that, I am planning to utilize iGoogle. I already have iGoogle set up but the configuraiton is from many years ago. My goal: to update/add/remove to make it current. Plus, create a work tab and personal tab...I am all about organization! And right now I feel lost without my own "method-to-the-madness" in place!
That will be a work in progress.
A semi-completed goal: to consolidate usernames/passwords. For some sites, I have more than one log-in! How did I let that happen?? Sometimes my work account, my home account, my google account. Yikes!
For example, Blogspot- I have two accounts there. Who knew? For this class, when I set up my blogspot, i used my work email, forgetting i already had an account through google. When I log on using my work email, I automatically get logged off of google...If I am logged in to google when I try to access BlogSpot, it logs me on to my former account, which is the wrong one for this class. I need to recall which account is which and how to sign on to get me where I want to be. Sound confusing? Try living it! Then, a thought: there MUST be a way to combine these two accounts! I looked it up, and voila! found an answer: Open the one account, invite another user (ME- as a google account user), accept the invite, give new guy (me!)admin right, remove old user (still me!) from account- and there you have it. Blogspot consolidated. Like I said, Whew!
Time to explore iGoogle. Putting all my hopes into using it as the ultimate online organization aide. Stay tuned...

ReplyDeleteI feel the same way at times with log in overload and password frenzy. What strikes me is the amount of time it takes to just get it all organized. I seem to have data in three different areas, on three different computers and while the aggrgator might prove to a step in the right direction, it can be a bit dizzying at times. I look for ward to striving towards a simplified and efficient place, but it can be hard to see at times as it can be difficult to change habits that are so ingrained. best of luck.

I also feel like I am apart of others social networks and that I am trying to find my own social network. I also have 2 accounts on blogspot(i think I actually posted my response to the wrong one)I am also going to look at "igoogle" in hopes that it will solve my online organizational blog problems
