Thing-a-Day, 2011 edition

Okay, I just went to search for some of you, and am not finding you.

These are the names I searched for:

singular1 (you I think I might have from last year – you’re under your real first name, right?)
panache45
Antigen
Rahne McCloud
limegreen
raen

If any of you are on there under a different name and wouldn’t mind telling me what it is, I’d love to follow you.

OK, not creative here, but I’ve signed up: Time to finish a knit project thingy (basic hat & scarf), plus I bought a bunch of origami books/papers … a hobby I revisit every now and then. NOW … should I get a harmonica AGAIN :slight_smile: I been trying to blow that for ehhh 30+ years. Always failed.

Also got a pocket-sized minivideocam … for my trip to Hawaii. Starts on Friday! Sunburn, here I come :slight_smile:

Add cooking experiments to the above. And fashion experiments – I’m tired of looking like a Pendleton lumberjack!

Thanks for the nice words, Twickster. Is it possible you’re not finding us because we haven’t posted anything yet? I did sign up under raen, so I don’t know why else you’d not be able to find me.

OK, I just signed in for this year - I didn’t realize it wouldn’t be automatic.:smack:
I’m charleywho there, by the way. After I wake up more I’ll start searching for others.

:smack:

Yeah, that might have something to do with it.

:smack:

Overeager, much?

And yay, Atomic Mama – glad you’re joining us. (And, BTW, I owe you a thank-you note for that delicious soap, which got here a week or two ago.)

I’m in under ‘Le Ministre de l’au-delà’.

And I’ve posted my first creation! I really hope I can keep it up all month!

Can’t wait to see what you guys do. Is there a way to subscribe to your posts there like a blog so I don’t need to scroll through a million posts to find them?

I think there is, I subscribed to Twickster’s account so it shows up under “My Subscriptions” page. I just searched for her name and clicked the “subscribe” button next to it. I haven’t gotten around to adding everyone else yet.

The first of the month is a problem for me as I have some bookkeeping things to get done. I will either get my first thing done this afternoon during a break or much later tonight.

It may be because I’m not a posterous member, but I’ve spent the last hour and a half trying to figure out how this all works. I have one post called ‘Introduction and Test’, but the post doesn’t show any identification. ‘Search’ hasn’t turned up any ‘Le Ministre de l’au-delà’, nor has it turned up any of you fine folks. I’m a bit baffled, frankly.

Oh, well - off to try and write something; even if it takes me a while to sort out how to read it and share it, I can at least keep up with the creative portion of the assignment.

Let me know if you find me, anyone…

I agree that the site is not very intuitive. I searched for your name and got nada. What I suggest is that we all post a link to our first post, and then we can subscribe to each other’s things that way.

Here is my first post. I’m not in love with this painting, but I did a thing, and here it is.

Yay! I just tracked you down!

It would be very helpful if everyone would post a linky to his/her first post, so we can find each other.

Here’s mine.

I couldn’t find myself by searching, either.

Now that you mention it I didn’t find Twickster’s by searching, I saw one of her posts on the 2010 TAD and clicked on her name and subscribed from there.

My post will be late, I’m on a break from a 12 hour work day and I have to do my thing in parts. May not get mine posted before midnight.

This site is really a lot worse than it was last year. Here’s my first.

Very cool and bizarre, Renee. I like.
Lovely, freckakee. I like the Before and After.

Here’s my first post. It’s still processing, so I can’t yet tell if I got it right or not.

Here’s my first post. This is a photo I’ve been meaning to make into a t-shirt for over 4 years. Finally did it today.

What’s the email for the group blog?

Hey, I did a tiger too!

Here’s my first “thing”.

Does anyone know how to make it stop sending me a million emails? I tried to turn it off and it’s not stopping.

I went to “Manage” then “Your Account” and then under “notification settings” next to “sites I follow” is a link that says “manage sites I follow” then I edited notification settings under each site to notify never.

I don’t know if it worked yet though.
