I made the required changes to my iGoogle home page per the directions.
I had not realized that there was an add-on for Facebook, so that will
come in very handy since I use it all the time.  I added the Twitter add-on
as well, but I do not have a Twitter account. I will have to look into that one.
For the most part this page pretty much stayed the same with the exception
of the two add-on's mentioned above.

I was glad to see with this assignment that there was a way to add additional
tabs on your iGoogle page. That was a feature that I was completely unaware
of. It is also great that you can customize the background for each of the tabs
as well. My Listy is a new one to me, so I will have to look into it more to learn
the features of it. That way I can use it to its full potential.

I think this tab is going to be one of my most useful tabs out of the new ones
that we added. I am constantly switching back and forth between my PC and
my Mac, so having all of these links in one place is going to be great because
right now they are everywhere. Luckily I already had a Diigo account, so I got
an early start on bookmarking with it. I love that I was able to find a Guild Wars
background since I am using it for my ARP. What a great find!

I was very excited about the tab for this course because it had several great
add-on's that I was unaware of. I always love finding new add-on's that make
my life easier. I guess that is the whole point of this assignment though. I will
have to try out the Blogger add-on for my next post. Also, having the ability
on this tab to look-up pictures on Flickr and read my RSS feeds without having
to go locate each link should be great time savers for me. I look forward to trying
out all of these great add-on's and finding more that will help make my Personal
Learning Environment (PLE) one that saves me time and keeps me informed.
