Thing 2: Blogging


This is going to sound silly, but i found blogging to be so difficult! There are many different blog sites and some are more tedious to navigate than others. I originally started with blogster.com and was so proud of myself for setting up a name for my blog and getting a URL! I waited and waited for the verification email to come, but it never did. So I thought, "Well maybe I don't really need that verification email," and tried to log into my blog to do Thing #1. FAIL. Apparently, the verification email was very important after all. I ended up creating a second blog with blogster.com (this time I received the verification email) and proceeded to fill out my thoughts on the 7 1/2 Habits. About this time I realized I really do not like blogster.com. I couldn't figure out how to change the backgrounds, uploading pictures was a strange and difficult process, and even picking fonts was a chore! Not the ideal blogging experience, I presume? So, after emailing with Dr. Wilson and realizing everyone else was using Blogger.com I switched to this blog and the experience has been nothing but pleasant! I found a background I like, changed the font for my blog title, and am working on picking out pictures for my pages. While blogging does not come naturally to me (I have never done it before and had no clue what I was getting into) I think I will actually enjoy this project.

  1. Allie I had the same issue and found that sometimes these emails go straight to Junk Mail. I also thought that blogging was something hard, but now that I'm learning, I realized that it's not so complicated. What I really need now, is time to create educational stuff.
    I like your blog and your background.
