You don't know this yet, but I'm a very creative person. In fact, when I was younger I was placed into the Talented and Gifted Program (TAG) specifically for my creativity. Regardless of that fact, it seems that I'm a little stuck on picking a title for my blog. I did come up with some really great ones, but the fact that it had to have my last name within the title just didn't seem suitable to me (you'd understand if you're last name was no different than that of an occupational plumber). Until I do create a fitting title, you're going to just have to settle for my name. It's not that bad, right? At least I can say it's somewhat original.
As far as the blog itself, I didn't have a difficult time signing up. Once I logged in though, I was shell shocked with all of the buttons and templates and designs... Don't get me wrong, I've tried to blog before. In fact, I probably have a couple floating around here somewhere, but I've never been able to master the technology of it. Thankfully though, I was able to take my time and browse. Hence, the pretty profile you see now ;)
Let's see... my avatar is a pretty interesting character. She and I don't exactly favor each other too much. Her hairstyle is nowhere near the length or style of mine. Since my hair is always wavy, I attempted to locate a style similar to my own. You can see for yourself that it wasn't a successful search. I ended up with a generic hairstyle because it was the only natural looking one. As for her eyes and hair color, we match pretty well, I'd say. For her face, I added a cute facial expression. To be more specific, it looked a little quirky to me and I am definitely quirky. (Plus, I love to wink!) I gave her a green sweater for two reasons: the first being I naturally look good in shades of green; the second being that I love sweaters. As far as the khaki pants, I'm most comfortable in them. I feel that it adds a sort of "business casual" look to my attire. And for the brown shoes? Well let's just pretend that they're a nice pair of Birkenstocks.
Yours,

Along with getting to know you a little better, my favorite part about your blog was that I got a sense of who you are. Blogging is about having a little fun, and your personality came out in your writing. People say I do this often, and even though I don't know you personally, I bet you write exactly how you talk. I think that is such a wonderful gift. Affable, personal, and easy to relate to. I look forward to following your blogs.
ReplyDeleteCreating a blog or avatar account can be hard when we really do not understand how works. The first time that I created my account was hard, but we are learning that is the most important. I am agreeing with you respecting creating an avatar and post your personally.
ReplyDeleteTheresa, thanks so much for your support! I look forward to becoming better acquainted with you throughout the duration of this semester.
ReplyDeleteJorge, I'm glad we share the same virtual understanding of the difficulties of starting a blog. I'm excited to see what this semester has in store for us.

Taylor,
ReplyDeleteI like what Theresa said about you writing like you talk. Because I know you personally, I know that this is definitely true:] The way you talk so freely and easily in your blog inspires me. I think that the creative side of my brain was removed at birth, so all of my blog posts sound like a stagnant book report. I am trying to improve my social writing abilities, however, because I want people to actually want to read my blog!
Oh, and I meant to ask you, how did you change your fonts and colors? I searched for how to do it, but I could not figure it out.
