It was great to see the beginnings of everyone's websites today. One of my favorite parts of this was watching everyone's personalities emerge through the setup and design of the sites. Building my first website has certainly been both exhilarating and frustrating. I know a lot of other people are probably feeling this, but it's so hard to layout something in 10 minutes in inDesign and then spending hours trying to get it all to look the way you'd planned in Dreamweaver. And then there's Flash. That's whole other story. But I'm really glad that we've had the chance to work on building this portfolio. I think having something on the web is essential looking at the job market, and though obviously I don't have a job yet, I can only imagine how enticing it will look to a potential employer.
I still have a long way to go on my website, but I feel like I'm continuing to improve on using the technology. It's just one of those things that takes practice, I think. Right now I'm also not completely sure I've created the look and feel I want for my site. I want something that pops and reflects my personality, but at the same time I want it simple and classy enough that it lets my portfolio pieces essentially do the talking. I can't wait to get some feedback on Thursday. Who knows, by the time I get back from Spring Break, my site might look entirely different.
