As I said in one of my previous blogs, I’m interested in getting to know my application, PearlTrees, not only for this class but […]

Today we looked at Project 3 examples from previous class sections. My group was assigned to focus on the essay written for Editorially, a writing and editing app. I think the author did a good job of introducing the application overall.

*Cue the sound of fans cheering and me doing a victory cry* I got my first choice: PearlTrees! Now a name like that is very ambiguous so let me delve a little deeper.

One of the applications that gives me the most trouble (and the biggest headache) is Facebook and its picture tagging capabilities. Since high school I’ve been nicknamed – much to my displeasure – “The Tourist,” so naturally, I take a lot of pictures. I upload photos of my friends and family to Facebook frequently and […]

WHAT I DID Today my site had a wee makeover. Well, part of it did. I realized that if I expected people to take my site seriously I needed to have a good About Me section that was more than just a picture of me cheesin’ and a few of my interests. I put the basic […]

WHAT I HEARD IN PEER REVIEW My peer review session with the lovely and insightful Ms. Megan Burpo went splendidly.

WHAT I DID AND WHY Today in class I tried to take my WordPress site to the next level. Whether or not I was successful is still up for interpretation.

WHAT I DID This weekend I gave WordPress another try. It is very safe to say we are not even close to friends yet, however, we’re slowly but surely working our way there.

WHAT I DID Today I decided to give WordPress a whirl. I chose my tagline – “the thoughts of a 20-something trying to get through college one day at a time” – to exemplifly who I am in my life and academic pursuits right now. To be honest I’m not quite sure what exactly I […]
