Thing 5

So here's my first post, and against all logic it begins with thing 5.

Thing 5 is, naturally, blogging itself. Blogger is (or was?) a very popular tool for creating a blog very quickly. The templates are nice and allow those of us who know nothing of HTML to make our blogs not only intellectually stimulating, but visually appealing. At first glance, it looked to me like there were very few options when designing the layout and background. But as I got into it I realized the templates can be tweaked and customized. Also, for those who wish, there seemed to be a way to add HTML code. This really opens up the door to customization.

As one can see from my page, I have no sense of visual style and have opted for a simple template.

Stay tuned for Thing 6: Microblogging!
