A Great Adventure!

Dear fellow bloggers,
       Well, Emmalee and I finished our website and it looks terrific! I am very happy with how it turned out. Weebly was a great website to start a website and it is still very easy to update your website even after it is published. The only true conflict we came across was that we both could not be editing the same page at the same time. We could edit different pages of our page at the same time, just not the same one, so it was not that big of a deal. We got a decent amount of information on our site; I just wish I could’ve added more. The pages I created was our homepage, the camping page, my About Me page, and we collaborated on the contacts page. If you would like to check out our website it is http://outdoor-odyssey.weebly.com please take a look if you can and leave some feedback! I am very happy with how it turned out and there a lot of delicious recipes and terrific destinations to try out! I would definitely useWeebly.com again and if you have any questions about how the site works please leave a comment on my blog, or you can contact straight from our website as well! Thank you for following my blog for so long and I only have one more project to complete before the end of my digital media class is over, but hopefully I will be able to continue on with my blog.
       Yours truly,

Outdoor Adventures!

Dear bloggers,
              
       I am really excited for this next project for my class! We are starting to create a website! I am going to be creating one with another girl in my class called Emmalee Cornell about Outdoor Activities. We are going to break it down into camping, food, and destinations which will help people enjoy the great outdoors. We are planning on using the website Weebly.com and so far it has been very user friendly. It is very simple to add new information and pictures, and I am really excited to see how else we can utilize our website! Like I said, I am really excited for this project and if you have any questions about other sites or if you are going to try Weebly and you want more information feel free to leave a comment!

       Yours truly,

MyTube!

Dear fellow bloggers,

       My sincere apologies for not keeping you posted on how my video was coming along, but it was harder to put into words than I thought it would be….
My video didn’t turn out how I thought it would because I get so tongue-tied in front of a camera so I will not show it to you, but it was an informational video on some of the Basic Brass instruments. I was glad however on how easy it was to post my video on YouTube! I went on the site and I uploaded my video and it was ready for the world to see! The hardest part of putting my video online was adding closed captioning into my video which is basically like subtitles in movies. The only hard part about that was transcribing the words into the video, but that was only hard because it was time consuming. Overall the process was very easy and I was glad that it all came together even though I was not happy with my final outcome for a video maybe I can create a better one next time!
       
       I would consider doing more videos, but I would give myself more time to complete them in and hopefully use more people in them as well as practicing my parts more so that I don’t stutter as much! I hope you all have found my blog useful so far and I hope you continue to follow my posts because I have a few more projects left to do!

Yours truly,


Ann Stang
