Another Weekend almost over
I have to complain. In class on Wednesday I was working on my page o' links when the entire thing (my added text/links) disappeared! There was no way that I could find to bring it back, which meant I had to start all over. On top of that, I couldn't figure out how to link it back to my homepage. I've done it before, but the brain just wouldn't remember. Bah Humbug with this stuff! I am just aarrrghhh.
I was on the Blackboard checking out some of the external links. The Kairos site had a really interesting article on using web page creation in the classroom for author biographies. There was another, (Merlot?) that had a plethora of links to a variety of educational sites. Thanks Dr. R!
I spent some time today looking at other class members websites and a few of the group blogs. It's interesting to see how different they are. I don't feel so bad about my geocities fiasco, since other people seem to be having similar issues. I am jealous of those folks who have cool backgrounds on their websites. If you know how to do this, talk to me! There are places on the web where I can get free backgrounds, icons, buttons, etc. but how to use them is another story. Check the link. Now I have to finish up what I'm doing on my site. And face the fact that another weekend is almost over and I didn't get everything done on my To Do list, c'est la vie

It's good to see a blog that finally answers the question: "What do David Bowie, Russell Crowe, Tears for Fears, and Yo Yo Ma have in common?"
It depends on what you mean by cool background. The backgrounds automatically tile, so you have to be careful what you choose. I went to SeaWorld a few years ago with my best friend and took a picture of a dolphin at Rocky Point Preserve. It swam right up to the glass, looked at me, and I snapped the pic. I lightened it with a photo editor and uploaded it to the user files on the page builder thing. Then, I selected it as my background. If you're interested in seeing the original picture, let me know and I'll try to post it when I get home.
