The hardest part of this whole "Internet publication" thing, for me, is feeling as though I even deserve to have one! I'm a relatively creative person, have decent writing skills, and a pretty keen eye for the way things look best- but I have trouble deciding what is worthy of being posted for all to see!
As far as my website goes (and many things in my life) - I feel that simple is best. Too much information or too many fancy things and the true message gets lost!!
As far as my blog (this one and my first one included) - it seems as though the times I have the most thoughts and ideas and emotions running through me are the times I least want to share those things. Why would I want that to be immortalized on the Internet? Once I have those thoughts I want them gone, and they are private! But isn't it the best writers that share their deepest, darkest thoughts and aren't afraid to wear their hearts on their sleeves? We'll just have to see about that, because I feel too vulnerable right now to share any of that.
OH, and more relevantly, we watched a video in class today (see below) about our digital dossier, which I am heavily contributing to by having a Facebook, 2 blogs, a website, a Gmail account, and all sorts of other digital exchanges that I am SURE looking back were not meant for most people's eyes. I guess like the TIME magazine cover said, I'll just have to get over it.
