Week 5. A bad week

This hasn't been a good week. A good friend of ours, Stewart, committed suicide in Malawi - this is our third close friend to do so within the last 5 years. I put it down to loss of identity with us all having to move on to other countries in our middle years. Feelngs of guilt for being so far away and the desperate watching of my own dear fellow as he struggles to find meaning in his Australian life - have overriden my ability to concentrate on the mundane (like studying). Why worry about technology when our ex-employees are struggling for survival in Zimbabwe. Life goes on ----





Have looked a little closer at the "Followers" link on these blogs. For example, Al has become a follower of mine. If I click on his follower icon, I can see his blog profile and access it from my blog. I can also see who else he is linked to and access those blogs. Good idea for a small classroom network. However, I want access to the blogs that I am now following from here. Came across this "With the Blogger Reading List, you can read all of the latest posts from your favorite blogs right on your Blogger Dashboard! Your Blogger Reading List, conveniently located under your list of blogs on your dashboard, enables you to subscribe to any blog with a feed. It will update instantly each time a new post is published on any blog in your Reading List. " Just can't find the Reading List! OK. Found. Select Customize on the top RHS and the dashboard link appears. This allows viewing of one's profile etc, and latest posting to subscribed blogs. Before finding this, I became a follower of myself! And then I could see all my links to other blogs with one obvious lick. I managed to remove myself as a follower (seemed a little self-centred!), but hav decided to reinstate this as it seemed an easier viewing option. My own little RSS feeder right here on my blog.
All for today.
