Tech Tip: Blogger Templates

I've stared at this screen several times trying to figure out the best template for my blog. There were so may ideas going through my mind as to what I wanted see on my blog. The plethora of templates that I had envisioned matched the number of customized template options that blogger has built in. I have changed the presentation of my blog at least three times. One time, I completely re-built my site and forgot to hit the "apply changes button." I was distraught and gave up on site decorating for a couple of hours. Now, I am satisfied with the presentation of my blog. I wanted a template and display that was cohesive with the content of my stories, the course, as well as my own preferences for a webpage. I wanted the webpage to reflect me. The technicalities and gadgets that are involved in the tinkering of colors, fonts, and images can be quite taxing on an individual. I'm pretty tech savvy; however, I did face a few setbacks with assigning colors to different aspects of the blog. I'm glad that I took the chance to tailor my blog accordingly.

    I really like your webpage! It is so colorful! If all of my changes to the page went away I would 100% scream! It is so annoying when you work so hard on something just for it to not be applied! But whatever you did after this mishap definitely worked! Your blog is by far one of the best ones that I have seen! Thanks for sharing!

Introduction from a Coffee Connoisseur

Image
  Image information: Personal photo at Coffee Shop and Pizzeria in Italy May 2015          Coffee is available in all types of flavors and states; you have hot coffee, frozen coffee, coffee beans, chocolate covered coffee beans, frappes, cappuccinos, and macchiatos. Beyond the different consistencies of coffee there are thousands of flavors. Life is a lot like a cup of coffee. At first, coffee can be bitter, but you learn to love it or find another blend that best suits you. I've always loved coffee, but there are definitely a few flavors that prefer over the rest. Everyone has different aspects of their lives that they enjoy and choose highlight. Now, you will learn about the favorite aspects of my life, (outside of the coffee). {A hot caramel macchiato with an extra shot of espresso is my go-to beverage all year round.} My full name is Hannah Elisabeth Pope and I’m a full-time junior here at the OU.

Storytelling: MyLife's a Charm

Image
On the hard,cold wooden desk I sat just waiting until the day we would chat. I was yours since the day you were born, but not for long I shall warn.  I watch you both day and night, but never on your mind, always out of sight. I was there to see you walk and cry,  but I hope that when it's time to meet you're not shy.  You toss and turn all night long , trying to fight this pull that's so strong. You wake up with sweats and eyes full of terror,  but then you turn over to see me on you dresser.  You pick me up and twirl me around, knowing that I'm your comfort when comfort can't be found.  Your attachment to me weakens as you mature through the years,  but there's a calling on your life so it appears.  A whole new world and kingdom awaits for you and me, just step into the world of the rakshashi. Beep! Beep! Beep! After five minutes of hearing the annoying alarm clock, Shala finally reaches out from underneath her five down pillows and

Week 4 Storytelling: My Savior In Ashoka Grove

Image
Ashoka Grove was a beautiful resting ground in the middle of a dark, evil-ridden forest. The flowers ranged from pink, puffy ashoka blossoms, orange lotuses, to beautiful Malobar daffodils, orchids, and magnolias. The aroma was overwhelming and enchanting. It was a scene so serene. The crisp, warm spring breeze would blow and pick up the swirling pool of petals collecting on the ground  in a whirlpool and sweep them up into the air. The whistle of the wind was a harmonious sound to the ears of the grove's visitors; it is a sound so hypnotizing and enticing that the visitors go numb to the razor-sharp teeth of the rakshasas that are sinking into the veins of their warm, fleshy necks and limbs. For years, Ashoka Grove was a hot attraction. Thousands of visitors would venture across the world to experience such a magnificent wonder of Mother Nature. People from all walks of life could be seen lying down in the mounds of petals on the ground trying to make a "flower angel."
