This is the end??


Wow, my last post of the class...I can't believe it's here! I about passed out when Donna brought to my attention it was my last class....totally didn't even realize that myself (I was still frazzled by the events of the day). And although I went into this class ultimately knowing nothing about the art of blogging and or the significance of web 2.0, I can definitely say leaving the class I learned a ton! I never thought that blogging was important, and many times I've passed it off as being pointless. However, after this class (and esp after the final project) I'm walking away with a new perspective of the blogging community. I really hope to break my bad habit of short lived journaling and continue on with my blog. There's still so much more I want to do with it, I feel it's just now coming together. I really did enjoy doing the final project, and though it was more work than I expected it was way better than studying for stat or writing a research paper. Since I didn't know much about blogging and pretty much forgot everything that goes along with photo shop, I still tried to make my blog look a little different from the template. I'm not sure if I pulled that off or not, but I'll probably still mess with it. Overall, it was really cool being able to see everyone Else's projects and the progress theirs have made as well. I think that all of the projects in the class have potential of really becoming useful for other people, and who knows...maybe some of them will really take off! This class has made me look differently at the web and I really hope to keep myself updated with the changes going on in web 2.0. I feel kind of sad and a tad bit ignorant of the fact I didn't really to begin with. But at least now I know! Well, I hope every one has a great summer break and good luck with all of your future endeavours!

FINALLY!!!!

Alright, I have fully completed my blog! (and right on time). I plan on continuing to add to the blog becuase I still have some info I feel should be posted. Also will continue to fiddle with the look of it because that's just what I do! I really can't believe how fast this went by though, it's quite insane! Well here's the site:http://kate-wellnowwhat.blogspot.com/....Hope ya like it :)

That's more like it!












Alright, after a long period of deliberating on photo shop I cam up with another heading. It's nothing fancy, but I like the clean look it gives off. I also really like the expression on the man's face...I think it suits the title well!

Death to the Orange Man!


OK, so I finally decided to get rid of the creepy little orange. After downloading photoshop I came across some really cool features that allowed me to make a better banner for my blog. So, I'm playing around with some options and downloading some neat fonts in order to achieve a some what decent banner! Although, I haven't actually used photoshop since the 11th grade, so it might take some time to become acclimated with it again :/

Finals week...eek!


Well, it's that time of the year again..exam week! ahhhhh! (although last week was no walk in the park either). But as I organize all of the things I have put off ALL semester, look upon the gallons of disguisting red bull I will consume, and all of the agonizing procrastination that will ensue, I can't help but think how fast this semester went by! Seriously, I feel like it was yesterday classes started and I was buying my over priced books. I can't believe its about time to sell them back for absolutely no money. What I'm most afraid of is the fact time is only going to go by quciker after college. Sooner or later it'll time to cash in on the social security (but not really, that stuff is gunna be gone!). But on the upside: Mizzou has been an amazing time and I can't believe how fast it's flown by, I feel like I just graduated from the 8th grade. Well as much fun as this study break session has been, I guess I better get back to my paper :/ . But good luck on finals everyone....it's almost over!
