Liz, I registered my old blog rather late, though I have been active on my blog; but I did. Does it take time to show up?
Hi Richard – I just had to add it. It’s up now! Liz
Thanks a lot Liz. I have noticed; it works. Richie
Hi. I have just come across 23 Things for Research and am really keen to sign up. Is it too late to sign up and if not can I use my existing blog seeing as I missed 0th and 1st week?
Hi Jacques – Not too late at all! You’re welcome to catch up or just to work at your own pace. Liz
