Since my gmail account was hacked and then deleted I have
re-done my first blog post for my new blog! J
Template- Since it is my first time blogging I had to choose
something easy enough for me to understand and navigate. I ended up choosing
the water mark template because it seemed simple and didn’t look half bad. My
goal was to end up with a blog that really reflected my personality that I
could successfully operate and the water mark template seemed to be the best
choice.
Color- Who doesn’t love pink? It’s a fun color that isn’t so
bright it hurts to look at and isn’t too dark so you can still see everything
alright. I’m not a formal person at all and didn’t want a design that yells “I’m
only doing this for a grade” but instead something that was interesting for my
very first blog experience. The design is cute and girly that just makes it an amusing
page to look at and hopefully the fun design brings a smile to everyone’s face.
The only thing it’s missing now is some
glitter!
Font- “Cherry Cream Soda” is the font I choose for the title
and I would be lying if I said I didn’t love the name. It’s big and easy to
read and I like the way it looks. For the rest of the blog I choose the simple
font “Georgia” because it’s easy to read and doesn’t look to flashy.
Pages- the only other page I included was an about me page. It
just includes some general information about me so people can get to know me a
little better if they feel like reading it.
I made it a separate page because I personally think it looks cluttered
when it’s in the side margin and this way people don’t have to see it if they don’t
want to.
Title- My original blogs title was Art Smarts!, because it
was enthusiastic, exciting, and kept with the fun theme. I was hoping to gain some new “art smarts”
entering the class because I really didn’t know much about art. After my gmail
account was hacked and I had to make a new blog I decided to stay with the name
to keep it simple but just added the “Improved” since it was my new and
improved blog.
Links- I didn’t include any links mostly because I’m still
trying to figure out how to use blogger. Maybe once I’m a little more comfortable
with it and know how to use it I’ll include some links to some fun stuff, but until
then no links.
I love my blog! It’s pink, fun, enthusiastic, and exciting!
I think it reflects me in the way it’s kinda girly. Building the blog was a lot
harder than I expected and I think that may just be because I have never made
one before. With blogging I’m expecting to gain more knowledge of the arts and
improve my writing skills.
