Week 7 Blog

This class was a great learning experience for me.  I was not familiar with blogging or how to set up a website prior to this class.  This class gave me a lot of tools to get me familiar with both of these concepts.  I hope that one day in the future I will be able to utilize the skills I have learned in this course either professionally or personally. 

I have also enjoyed learning skills in Photoshop Elements.  I have always been interested in learning this program.  There are a lot of features to use but the class gave me a good start to become familiar with what the program offers.  I am looking forward to editing my photos using this program. 

The creation of my website was challenging, frustrating, and fun.  I used the online website, Weebly, to create my website.  I felt this program was straight forward and easy to use.  I had a little more trouble creating the Expressions Web website.  I tried to apply the same set up to both websites, but since they are both templates in different programs, the websites do not look the same.  I used more pictures in the Weebly website because the template offered more flexibility as far as the formatting options.  I was able to use the exact same text in both website, the placement was different.   I was not able to apply the picture in the heading of the Expressions Web website as I did in the Weebly website.   In comparing the two websites, I like the appearance of the Weebly website better than the Expressions Web website.  It is more colorful and fun and it was definitely easier to create.
