Social Networking

When project #4, social networking, was assigned I had a feeling that it would be the toughest project yet. To be honest I was a little intimidated and nervous at the thought of not only creating my own website, but one that reveloved around enacting social change. It sounded like a lot of hard work and unfamilar material, and because I was unable to join a group I had to dive into this project on my own.
First I chose an issue that I not only believed in, but one that I felt I coudl really pour my writing into and relate to a local level, and the cause I settled on was to abolish the dry campus policy here at URI. I chose this topic because obvisouly it pertained to me personally, being a 21 year old and living on a dry campus, but also because I have actually spent time previous to this project disscussing this injustice with some of my friends and fell really strongly about it.
Next I attempted to explore the socialgo website. At first I thought I had a good grip on how to use it, but during the process of creating my website, I found out that I was very wrong. The first trouble I ran into was simply just trying to figure out how to best format my website. Before I even began composing text for  the website, I found myself extremely frustrated with this project, especially because I didn't have a group to navigate with. After a lab session in class I began to get a better feel for how to use the website, and I finally began writing.
I first created a mission statement and a welcome note to all of my potential members. I really tried to write with a lot of passion to grab the attention of my audience and keep thier intrest in my cause. I then write an "about me" blurb in order to make my profile more relatable to those who might read it.
