Track Your Progress

Tracking Your Progress:

Recording progress for CML staff in the Learn & Play Tracking Log found on CMLsi is soooo easy!  For the first week, you only need to click “completed” for thing #1 and #2.  Beginning the second week, it’s as simple as copying and pasting.

Directions for registering your blog will be covered in the directions for the second week for thing #4.

Once you start recording your discoveries through your own blog, you will need to check-off the item and enter the permanent link to the individual blog post that covers the exercise or “thing” in the tracking log.

Depending upon the blog template that you selected, the “permanent link” for each individual post can be found either through the post’s title or through a link in the post’s footer area that contains the date.

To record progress for an individual item in the Tracking Log:

1. Click on the permanent link for the individual post.Example: Here is where you would find the permanent link for this sample blog post:
   Click on this link to see actual post.
2. Select the “permanent link” URL from the address bar at the top of your browser and right click. Select Copy.
3. Log into the Learn & Play Tracking Log on CMLsi and locate the item number for the “thing” that you’ve just completed.
4. Right click on the field to enter the URL and select Paste. Here’s how you would record it in the L&P Log:
   Click on image to see it at actual size..

See, it’s as easy and copy and paste! To keep up with recording your progress, I would suggest that you make a habit of recording your progress weekly.

PS: If you’re not a CML staff member, you can follow along as well. Just use the list discovery items found on the 43 Things website to record your progress. Alas, I’m sorry that I can’t include any flash drives or a laptop as incentives. For you, I hope just the fun of following along is enough.
