Cam23 2.0: Week 1, Extra thing: Ways to make your blog beautiful

This Blurtmetry blog was born as coursework for the 2010 round of 23things Cambridge. And now I'm coming back for more.

I will probably confine my own blogging in this 2nd round to the Extra things -- the ones devised partly with us 2010-ers in mind. But I hope to follow every post on the other Cam23 2.0 blogs, and might even venture a comment or two.

In response to this first Extra thing, I have changed the blog template, and added a Twitter widget and a visit-counter widget. I did also add a share-on-Facebook widget, but removed it when I saw that I'd got such a thing already.

Talking of visit-counting, I've noticed that hits on this blog shot up during the three weeks or so after the announcement of Cam23 2.0. Most of them had clicked through to Blurtmetry from the site of the 2010 version, and the numbers dwindled rapidly when the blog for the new round went live. Perhaps, now that I've registered for the new round, the hits will go up again. I hope so.
