I am a twenty year old living in the 21st century,
so hopefully I will be able to make it through this course with the
technological skills that means I should have.
I am not a brilliant tech savvy person but I am alright. I am fine with simple everyday technology,
not so much with new fancy things, but I am happy to and can learn new things
fairly well. While I cannot say that I
am one hundred percent new to blogger I might as well be. I have used blogger once for another
assignment…five years ago, in grade ten, and only posted all of six times. Therefore,
I am relearning everything. My main
problem I thought I was going to have setting up my blog was to remember my Gmail
address and password that I created five years ago and haven’t used since. I didn’t find it too hard to set up the
blog. I had more trouble trying to
figure out how to get into my profile to edit it so I could see what was there. My first post I made very short as it was
just me figuring out how to do that.
Thankfully, it was pretty straight forward, and the site is easy to manoeuvre
around. I have had to ask a few
questions but so far so good. I am hoping to get better and add more cool
things as I go.
Our lecturer told us to limit ourselves to the time we spend
on the computer in this course and I can completely understand why as I spent
approximately forty minutes just playing around with the design setting of my
blog. ‘I like this colour, but ooh what
shade? This one, maybe, this one, better,
this one, perfect. There are so many
nice fonts. I like this one, but would
that be too hard and annoying to read all the posts? I’ll make it the
title. I probably shouldn’t have too
many different fonts all over the page.
Should I make my posts purple?
Maybe bests to stick with black.
What size should everything be? I am used to this being on the left, so that’s
where I will put it.’ My thoughts, and
design choices continued until I stopped myself, but I enjoyed setting up my
blog. I asked my friend where to go to
put in the fish and so when I went home I searched for fish and found a penguin
that I could put in which led me to a cat which I put on my blog then changed
my mind and went back to the fish and wasted time changing colours and feeding
them. After being shown a fodey.com
image I thought I would look at that and I managed to easily make one. The harder part was trying to get it in a
post, with one failure before succeeding.
After a confusion of instructions on the website and the obvious next
step of a google search I managed to get it onto my blog. I like how my blog is looking at this current
moment.
