Came across this site today.  Thought it has a nice layout of how to begin building one's own PLN.  Take a look when you have a moment.

PBS Teachers

PBS ... not only is it a WONDERFUL television station it is a company that TOTALLY supports education!  Check out their site that provides spectacular resources!  Also, in case you weren't aware, PBS is the sponsor of PBS TeacherLine that provides online learning opportunities (I've taken a few of their courses and was quite pleased with the instruction and information).
