Blazing that Trail: Reading Other Blogs

Wickedly Wonderful Creations
Today, I decided to read other blog posts to get more familiar with the blog-sphere.

The search lead me to wickedlywonderfulcreations.blogspot.com.  Reading it gave me an idea about how blogs usually look, and how information in them can be arranged.  I personally thought pictures in this blog were slightly overused, however, and myself resolved to use pictures in my own blog sparingly and properly.  The actual post, however, was informative and useful for anyone looking to make a beautiful holiday craft.  The overall blog contained loads of information about crafting; all of which was easily accessible.

Blazing that Trail: Computer Literacy

Just today, I learned a thing or two from my online schooling class, Computer Literacy.

First, I learned how to set up a blog, that is, how to title it, set up an address for it, etc.  This was no less than exciting, I assure you!  As I set it up, ideas about possible blogs I could create materialized in my head; mostly blogs of wisdom, somewhat argumentative actually, and sure to cause a stir where one need not be caused (as my blog would always be as respectful as possible, I solemnly swear).  

Next, I learned perhaps the most exciting part yet; setting up the layout and, even more exciting, setting up the background!  For several minutes (which I did not have to spare), I previewed nearly every background, lamenting the requirement that I had to choose a "simple and professional" one.  Even now, I doubt that my final decision follows such an unfortunate guideline! 

 Lastly, I learned a thing or two about blogging respectfully, blogging carefully, etc.  That was the boring part, of course (teehee!), but having so many moments of life to spare, I respectfully used a few of them where someone believed they were needed (and that person could very easily be right!).
