Web site

I absolutely loved this assignment! I was even more green about creating a Web site than I was about doing a blog -- I can't believe how much I've already learned in this class -- and it's all such fun. My colleagues at UCA can't believe what I'm learning. I may have lots of new job duties when I return in the fall!

What has been the best part has been the empowered attitude I'm bringing to all these new tasks. Instead of being afraid of the technology, I'm jumping in head-first, and I find that I'm able to do almost everything. That is such a good feeling. The only thing I haven't been able to solve on this assignment is the table, and I'm enough ahead that I've sent out a call to my classmates for help before the deadline for posting the site.

UPDATE: Of course, my classmates came through, and I was able to complete the table. I will keep the info for future use.

One of the best parts of this class has been I've been forced to learn a lot of the technological tasks that I've wanted to learn but never had time or a reason to sit down and do. For example, that silly scanner -- I've had it for three years but never really had a reason to sit down and learn it — now I've got a new toy!

I plan to link my new personal Web site (http://donnalampkinstephens.googlepages.com) through the UCA site so that students can learn a little more about me. I've noticed many of my colleagues have linked their personal sites, so I'm slowly joining the crowd.

Another good thing about the last couple of weeks has been the lively discussions we've had. I'm looking forward to more.
