Jump Start on Technology Based Learning

After exploring blogger.com I feel a little more comfortable with the blogging process. To be honest, I have never even read blogs online, let alone created my own. In fact, i have very little experience with computers in general. Over the summer i took my first online class and spent most of the course attempting to navigate  Sakai. After  a few meetings with my professor and several hours familiarizing myself with technology based learning i feel as though i have my foot in the technology door. Even though I am not as naive with technology based learning as I was before completing my summer course, I will be the first to admit that I have a lot more to learn in order to succeed in this class.
I decided to name my process blog "Katie Bo Process Blog" because Katie Bo is my nick name and I felt as though it would give my process blog more personality. I wanted my readers to to get a little piece of me directly in the title. While creating my process and enthusiast blog my first challenge was to make my blog appealing to the carious readers that may come across them. It took me a while to understand the process by which to enhance the aesthetic appeal of my blogs. During this course so far one thing I have learned is that aesthetic appeal is extremely important. If I want people to not only read my posts, but remain interested in my topic, my blogs need to be visually attractive. I chose a comb nature-like background for my process blog because, again I feel as though it fits my personality and will create a stronger understanding between myself and my readers.
