Participating in the 23 Things on a Stick helped me to overcome my fear of joining online groups or websites. As of right now, I think I am a "member" of about 20 different sites on the internet, something I never would have dreamed of doing before. Two of the sites I just joined this past week. I became a member of a Yahoo group to connect with others in the area that share my interest in letterboxing. I also joined Dave's Garden , which is a fabulous gardening site, offering plant information, discussion groups, book and supplier reviews, etc. Members can keep an online journal of all of their gardening activites, and even have a personal gardening blog on the site. Lots of fun, and a great source for information, too.
