Blog set up.Check.
Check out 3 blogs, yep. Liked the Library of Congress blog but thought the Powerhouse blog was visually attractive but didn't draw me in further than the front page.
IBM Guidelines. Check.
Watched the YouTube clip. Lucky my broadband is faster than it was 2 weeks ago - if people wanna do this from home they will need fairly fast net access or a lot of patience.
Lifelong Learning wiki. Check.
Stephen Fry clip, check. Didn't know he was a techie but checked his website which has a blog.
Within the library blogs will be good for communication, expressing and refining ideas.
Also for training I think it would be good to video all training and post it on servers, only available to staff, of course. (Not to go overboard or anything, but I think it would be good for staff on service points to see and hear how they interact with clients on videotape as a means to improve their client service.)
The other techie thing that will be good for Staff and clients is an RSS feed of New Books whereby you are notified of a new book that fits your interest or subject headings. I know I would sign up.
OK that's all for now.

Thanks for pointing to Stephen Fry's blog. It was not what I expected and is an interesting discovery. It is great to see different ideas coming forth already. An rss feed of new books in different subject areas would be great. I am glad you worked through the checklist of the first two weeks!
I agree that blogs have potential for in house training. I wonder if it would also help in capturing some specialist knowledge and events across the organisation for posterity.
