So if you need help catching up -- or even getting started (no, it's not too late!) -- come on in!

Check Your Progress

I have emailed all 23 Things participants (at their gmail address) with progress updates.  The updates tell you which Things you have completed, according to my records. 

Check your gmail address.  If you don't have an email from me about your progress, email me at 23things@brev.org.

 As a reminder for all the Things, please ensure that you have "reported" your progress as directed on each Thing:

• If you were to send me an email, make sure you sent it to 23things@brev.org
• If you wrote a blog post, make sure it is labeled ("tagged") with the correct Thing Number
• If you posted to the 23Things wiki, make sure you put your name with your post

Remember, if you don't report it, I can't give you credit for it!

It's Another Catch Up Week!

There was a flurry of activity this past week -- lots of you catching up on your Things.  So, let's do it again.  No new Thing this week. 

If you have completed everything through Thing #12: Congratulations, you're up-to-date. If not: You have some time to catch-up.  If you haven't started:  Why Not? There's time!

One important tip -- please remember to Tag all your blog posts with the proper Thing number.  You'll need to do that to make sure you get "credit" for completing that Thing. 

Be sure and check out a few new blog features this week: 

• Links to more of your blogs.  Sorry, there's a limit to how many I can include, so I'll swap them out in a few weeks and post some different ones.
• A link to an article from Library Journal called "Managing Personal Change".  It's great!
• A link to a list of all the scheduled Drop-In Sessions through January 2011
• New updates to:
• Thing #12 YouTube:  Top Ten YouTube Videos of 2010 announced 
• Thing #9,  the sunsetting of delicious ?? (scroll down to bottom of Thing #9 for the update)
