Month: February 2011

30 posts later – where I am, where I’m going etc

Published by Kai on February 19, 2011

I noticed this morning that I hit the magical 30 post mark, from the 30 posts in 30 days (in my case, really it was 30 posts in 45 days!) and wanted to do a quick round-up, along with some observations. First up – I suck at timetables. Actually, more accurately, I suck at working within timetables, when there is lots going on around me.  In the last month I went back to Uni for a new term (my last one), I moved laptops to a much sleeker, faster, sweeter piece of kit (which leads me to a point I’m…

The 30 day V7N blog challenge and going forward

Published by Kai on February 4, 2011

The last few days saw the ‘end’ of the V7N blogging challenge for many of us – a 30 day (starter at least) blogging challenge ran by the amazing Cricket Walker. But really, it’s just the beginning, because most people that had signed up for the initial challenge have gained freinds,  got more in our reading lists that we know what to do with, with lots of inspiration and more. One of the best things I’ve really loved about it is finding new people to read without being ‘advertised’ to – I also loved all of the comments I’ve picked…
