Thing #2

The first step in creating my blog involved creating my posting name; I decided to use my full name just because it was simple and easy. There was not really much thought put into the posting name. When I named my blog, I wanted to be original and hopefully come up with something that stood out and was catchy. After much thought, the name Carroll’s Cavern came to mind and it stuck. I was in complete terror when I was informed that we were creating a blog (saw my life flash before my eyes). However, the process was extremely easy and enjoyable due to the step by step directions and the help of my neighbor (thanks Abby). I thought that this process was going to really rattle me, but it had the opposite effect. It gave me confidence and satisfaction knowing that I was able to create and now post on my very own blog. The avatar that I put on my page reflects the uneasiness I have about this class, due to my lack of knowledge and comfort using such tools. However, I hope that I can change the facial expressions as the class continues to an avatar that looks confident instead of uneasy. I attempted to make the avatar look as close to me as I possibly could, I will let those who know me be the judge of that. I did this because I wanted this page to reflect me as much as it possibly could. This is the experience I had creating this blog and my avatar.
