Learning Thing #2

Well I decided to keep the name of the blog and the address of my blog the same, so that they are easy to remember. I came up with the name "Mandy's Mailbag". Mandy was my childhood nickname and I thought that "mailbag" would be a good play on words, since posting a blog is kind of like sending a letter out to all of your friends at the same time. Settin up the blog was pretty easy for me, I wanted to create my own profile using html code, but it was taken to long and I was getting tired, so I just decided to use on already in exsistence --- maybe I will change it one day. Creating the blog was actually very simple for me, as it is not the first one I have done, I think that they are fun to write and to read. You can find and learn interesting things just by reading words that someone else has typed. The funny thing about the Avatar is that I already had one created from something else I was working on, only thing is I had to change the background and clothing to match the season, didn't really think that a wool jack and scarf would do well in the heat! I think that my avatar is a pretty close representation of myself, though I just recently chopped my hair off and highlighted it, so the hair is a little off. I chose to do one that looked like me, because I think it is fun to try to create a character that looks like you and defines you. I chose the flashy background, not to be flashy, but to have some fun with the avatar. Didn't one of the habits say to have fun?! I am really enjoying this class I look forward to doing and completing "more things"!
