Welcome, COM315ers!
Welcome to the COM315 course blog.
I will be posting weekly discussion questions, as well as any interesting content that you may want to read. Feel free to post, network with each other, and discuss.
I was a little bit scared in class yesterday with the web design stuff. I have never worked with this before and it worries me if i can keep up or not. The service Learning project sounds interesting but it was not what i was expecting in this class. I am trying to start with an open mind and take what i can from this class.
We'll be starting from a very basic level that assumes no prior web experience, and will be spending lots of time on this later in the spring. I'll do my best to be helpful and answer questions/provide tutorials and demonstrations along the way.
So, I have really shunned the idea of blogging for a long time. I have figured its not worth the effort and I am not nearly qualified enough to share my thoughts and opinions online. However, I have been told that I should blog because I seem to be good at articulating my thoughts and ranting about them. So here I go...let me start by complimenting someone else.
Becky, I really like your art. I am not very familiar with your style and so I can't tell if they are paintings or digital. If they are digital what software do you use? Regardless of the media, I admire your work. I encourage everyone to go to Becky's web page and check out the art, it is impressive. I probably sound like a kiss ass, but I;m not trying to be. I just this that talent is rare and should be appreciated. Anyways, that's all for today!
Glad to hear you're open to the idea of blogging, Brandon. You're more qualified than you probably think- and good writing is an art that anyone can practice, so hopefully we'll all be improving along the way.
Thanks for the kind feedback about my art. I haven't been painting as much as I should be lately, but should strive to do so soon to keep trying!
