Blog 1 - This is my DHTML blog

I have to admit, I’m not much of a blogger. I certainly have many opinions about things, and I generally don’t mind sharing those opinions with others, but I usually choose not to put them in writing. No proof of what I’ve said that way, you see. So anyway, this part of DHTML is going to be a challenge for me, but I’ll give it a try.

This is my third semester at CSI in the Graphic Design program. I’m doing both the print and web emphasis, and enjoy both. I took both HTML and Web Design last fall. That was my very first experience with any sort of web site building, and I was a little surprised to find how much I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any web classes last spring, so I haven’t even looked at any HTML or CSS for an entire year. (I know I should’ve tried to keep up with it, but I admit I was too lazy.) So I’m sure it’ll take me a few weeks to get back into the swing of things.

Everyone tells me that this class is really difficult, but I have to admit, I’m still looking forward to it. I’m excited to learn some Javascript and find out what all I call do with that, and I definitely need the opportunity to hone my CSS skills. So I suspect I’ll learn a lot this semester.

That’s all I can think of for today. Sorry it’s not more interesting.

Hi Racheal.

I'm not much at blogger either. Have never done this before.

I think everything to do with Web Design is a challenge. Just take it day by and day and go with it and do the best you can. I found that last semester in HTML we all had places that we got hung up on and the questions on the discussion board helped a lot.

Good luck and have fun this semester. Your site from last year looks really great.

I kinda feel the same way about writing opinions too. I don't mind sharing them, but only when they're called upon.

I think it'll be a little tough to talk about a given topic, but that's only because we'll be putting more thought into what we'll be saying (or writing, lol). When we talk about what we want, usually we know what to say right away and it's a breeze. With these blogs, we'll spend more time, sure, but it'll definitely make us more knowledgeable of the topic in the end.
