I made it

Hooray! I made it! I was very intimidated when I started the class, but now feel much more confident that I can successfully complete the M.S. program.

Web Editors and Project Progress

I'm making decent progress on my final project. I just want to add a few more graphics and rearrange a few things.

I'd like to spend some time investigating web editors. Perhaps there is a website that describes and compares the different editors. At worst, I'll find a list of the major editors and see if they have any demonstrations.

Reflections on Class

To anyone not aware, this blog is part of a grad school class I'm taking called How the Web Works. While I was at first intimidated by the prospect of learning html, I've actually enjoyed learning the language.

Web page design is much like scrap booking only more technical. Once I made this connect in my mind I realized there was no reason to be intimidated. Although pages are done through editors, learning html seems also a lot like putting a puzzle together. O.K enough with the analogies.

I'm already planning to create some pages for my family when the class is over.

Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day everyone. While everyone is enjoying the long weekend, please take a few moments to remember those who have died while in the service of our country. May the families of those lost be in our thoughts and prayers.

My 'prim and proper' daughter's crude behavior

I'm usually not a fan of toilet humor, but it seems to be inevitable with young children. Recently my mother was reading my daughter an adaptation of the story The Three Little Pigs in which the pigs pelt the attacking wolf with fruit. As they did this they all yelled in unison "Bombs Away!"

We were at the end of potty training and the next time my daughter was in the restroom my daughter yelled "Bombs Away" followed by the toilet flushing. How did my frilly dress wearing daughter come up with this? She sure didn't get it from me.

First Time Blogging

Hi everyone! After hearing about blogs for years I've finally created one of my own. I have a husband, 4 year old daughter and two dogs. My dogs are half dachshund and half chihuahua so we refer to them as the dachhuahuas. Stay tuned to my weekly posts!
