In peer review, I heard that I have a good start for my presentation, and that I’m doing a good job of sticking to the 1/1/15 format. I need to make some tweaks to my presentation, more pictures on certain slides would do well visually because some of them seem a little bare right now. […]

Putting Project 3 Together
by • • Comments Off on Putting Project 3 Together
I started to put my notes into PowerPoint form in order to prepare for my presentation on Monday. Since I’m presenting on the first day of presentations, I chose to get a head start on the PowerPoint and then work on my essay after it’s done.
Finishing Up Research On Project 3
by • • Comments Off on Finishing Up Research On Project 3
Today I continued to compile notes on Audioboom, focusing on news about the website rather than looking at the website itself. I have found a lot more information on other websites that talk about Audioboom, and I feel that I am approaching a point whe…
Getting Started on Project 3
by • • Comments Off on Getting Started on Project 3
First off, I created my account on Audioboom and just started to look around at the website itself. Most of my time was spent listening to different things provided on the website to get a feel for what type of content is posted regularly. I started to compile notes about the website. I initially […]

I learned that I should add something more than just a few pictures and text to the project in order to make it look more like a web essay rather than a normal essay. The use of bullet points, headings, and subheadings to break up big blocks of text make the essay easier to read. […]

I chose to do my project on Audioboom, because it’s a music website that I’ve never even heard of before. I haven’t signed up for it or anything yet, but I’m excited to see how it functions and if it will be a website that I continue to use for music listening after the project […]
Experience With Autocorrect
by • • Comments Off on Experience With Autocorrect
I can’t really think of a specific time that autocorrect has completely ruined my life by replacing what I had typed with the wrong thing, but I have had my name autocorrected in texts from other people before. Usually, if someone is trying to type my name it will come up as “brain,” not “Brian.” […]
Blog Update: Editing My About Me Page
by • • Comments Off on Blog Update: Editing My About Me Page
What I Did: I changed the layout of my About Me page. Why I Did It: I made the text wrap around the pictures, and now the layout of the page looks a lot better. I’m trying to find a transparent New York Rangers logo so there isn’t a white box around the image, but […]
Blog Update: Creating an About Me Page
by • • Comments Off on Blog Update: Creating an About Me Page
What I Did: I created an about me page. Why I Did It: I used the online identity project that had previously been written as my blog’s About Me page. I added photos, but I’m not entirely satisfied with the way the layout of the page is. I’m going to work on making the page itself […]
