THING 3. Get a gmail account

Your gmail account will be used when you sign up for sites on the 23 Things - eg. blogger, pbwiki, facebook.  At the end of the 23 Things, you may want to delete your gmail account, or keep it so you can use tools like google docs in the future.

TO SIGN UP

1. Go to http://mail.google.com/mail/signup

2. Fill in the boxes and select “Create my account”

3. Please note - if you do not want google to track what you are doing while you are logged in , then ensure the “Enable Web History” box is unchecked.

TO USE YOUR EMAIL

Google’s gmail getting started guide is full of useful information about how to use your account.

WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO BEFORE YOU CAN TICK OFF THING 3:

Send an email to libkat@gmail.com from your new gmail address.
