After much frustration, I have finally worked out how to create a link to my bloglines account and what a sense of achievement! Through trial and error I have learned so much - in a way it is better than being shown because the mistakes and successes stay fresh in your mind.
On a positive note, I was searching bloglines when I stumbled quite accidentally upon a small blog entry that turned out to be a schoolfriend I had lost contact with 15 years ago. Thank you Learning 2.0 for reuniting us!
