Here I go again trying to get a move on with maintaining my own blog.  It seems to be the thing I get around to last every time.

The fact is, there are so many things I want to comment somewhere about, that I should simply get straight on to blog to make my thoughts known.

As far as blogs go, I’ve been too busy keeping up with things on my school’s learning technology blog, Technoblog, to worry about my own; and you can see a little gimmic or two that I’ve been trying out on it, like the Clustr map.

Maybe updating posts will be easier with this new tool.  I’m giving it my first go on the Flock web browser.  I was alerted to this new browser by reading a post on Chris Betcher’s Blog.  I’ve also been listening to Chris’ podcast, The Virtual Staffroom, which I would highly recommend.

Anyway, Chris Betcher posted on Flock, which integrates Web 2.0 tools into the browser itself.  Now Firefox had already started this by extensions for del.icio.us and the like.  But with Flock, you’ll find the tools within your browser to post pictures straight up to Flickr.  You can also type up a blog post in a little window, click on the publish button, and up your post goes!  A copy of the post is also then saved on your hard drive.

Well, if you can read this post, then it works!  An interesting experiment… I wonder if we’ll ever see these tools pop up in future versions of Internet Explorer (if they do, it’ll probably be only to Microsoft-owned photo sharing and blogging products)?

P.S. My restart stalled! Silly me tries to publish a post while edublogs is under maintenance.  So you’ll see this up there once they’re up and going again, and when I re-open Flock and publish this post.
