At times this journey has seemed a rollercoaster of confusion, excitement, interest, fun and frustration. Although I had used a number of computer programs in my previous job, I had little knowledge of the internet and world wide web. Web 2.0 has introduced me to so many tools, skills and applications – many of which I may never have occasion to use again, but … who knows? If you’d asked me six months ago whether I would ever start a blog, I’d have said “No way!!” This has whet my appetite and given me so much more computer confidence. Many things have become easier and clearer as I have gone on but I would probably benefit by going back and revisiting some sections of the program.
I’ve enjoyed blogging so much more than I thought I would and had great fun adding widgets. Flickr and Image Generators would have to be my favourites … I could easily spend hours playing on these sites! It’s great to finally understand what bookmarks and tags are all about and how to use them. Since discovering RSS feeds, I have subscribed to several sites and like being able to access information so easily. Thanks NSL for the opportunity to do Web 2.0 … it’s taken me to places I never dreamed of going … and thanks, too, for the support and encouragement along the way. To me, this is not THE END … it is merely the end of a chapter – the first chapter in my book of internet knowledge – the end of the beginning.

What wonderful comments. - Your blog is a testament to what you have got out of this programme - a visual delight with thoughtful and interesting posts. We're so pleased that it has opened your eyes to what the world wide web has to offer and it is only the beginning of the journey for you. It's been a pleasure following you on this journey
After reading your blog I decided to try adopting a pet of my own. Tobias the fish is a colourful addition to my blog which is verrry plain. When I have time I'm going to have a fun time decorating my site as well as going back to have explore some of the sites we've been to in the course of doing the exercise. I too would never have considered setting up a blog for myself, but then I never thought I'd use Facebook before my daughter went overseas either.
