Thing #2: Create a Blog, Add a Post and an Avatar

Creating my blog was much easier than I had anticipated, because I already had a Google email account. I think most of my nervousness prior to setting it up came from the fact that I had no prior experience with blogging. I wrote in a journal for class in high school, but that was pen and paper in a classroom where I could talk to my teacher if I didn't have any idea what to write about. As it turns out blogger and Mrs. Wall's instructions made setup rather easy. My posting name for my blog was chosen simply because that is my name and that made it easily identifiable as mine for teachers and classmates. My avatar, however, is a whole different story. I struggled to find things that I liked and ended up settling for something that looked like a rather skewed version of myself on a work day. Putting this in perspective, that is how I look most days, as I work 6 days a week.
