Championing success

Some of my blogs seem to have been a place to vent. Now that the semester has ended, the frustrations have faded and I'm left with a sensation of success. I learned so much in areas I formerly thought of as destined for the "techies." My greatest accomplishment has been the creation of my own website that I can use professionally. What a gift to have and know how to create.

After my initial conceptual difficulties of how the varied pages of a website link together and the difference between domain name and the 'index' page, I started in earnest. My home page presents my selected logo of a dragonfly which when clicked on, brings the user back to the homepage. Underneath the banner, I have my links that underline when moused over. They take the user to my other pages such as my bio, my performances, my sound healing training with an additional resource page, my Performance Wellness Facilitator training and site map. I like my simple layout using colors that are vibrant and match the image.

I intend to continue to work on my website. I want to change the banner using Flash where my name enters from the right, perhaps twirls, then rests. I also would like to eventually add buttons for the links. I might add some music too. Additionally, I intend shortly to launch my website with a web hosting company so that I won't be dependent on the NYU files storage. Plus, with these professional sites, I can link the application 'Dreamweaver' so that it will update any changes automatically.

I end with less fear about tackling other applications and look forward to creating and sharing.
