So I would like to thank my Engl314- Literary Magazine class and Dr. Whalen for helping prepare me for DS106!
For the entire last semester, I was working on a online literary magazine, Times Zones Lit Review, devoted to traveling and adventuring. As a result of this, I learned how to add many of the widgets that I needed to have on my blog here. I wasn’t the main person responsible for putting everything on the magazine website, (shoutout to Andrew who’s also in this class), but I learned through association. Not to name drop or anything, but Dr. Claudia Emerson and Jim Groom also helped out with this project, as did my other teammates (shoutout to Colleen who is in this class, surprise, surrprise!) and if you are interested at all in traveling, check it out and/or submit to the next volume!
What also has helped me in creating my blog is the few classes I have taken with Dr. Whalen which has taught me various internet skills and also lead to the creation of: Pluto Strikes Back (also made with several teammates including the same Colleen as above.)
The only app I had a problem with at first on this website was the one I am using for youtube, but that was solved once I actually read the directions [see I can be very smart (: ]
Also, thanks to the person (his/her name is escaping me now) who posted about how to get a gravatar!
Time Zone came out very, very well, and your digital comic is a lot of fun. Looking forward to your work for ds106, and your blog theme and header image already set the bar high, awesome stuff. The woman in your header looks like a mannequin in some odd way.
Haha yes, she is supposed to be a barbie doll!
I am going to write a blog post explaning more about it later because I know both the model in it and the photographer 🙂
