class musings for march 20 - 27

I have found our greatest challenge yet and it is in Internet-form. Creating a web site is honestly one of the most difficult things that I do mind doing. Sure, it has taken me FOREVER to get to a point where I can stand what I have come up with. Sure, I have spent hours playing around with Flash and Dreamweaver in my attempt to make the thing less hack (still lacking in the professional department) ... However beyond all this, being forced to create my own web site has been an incredibly empowering experience. I honestly thought that I was a technological lost-cause. And maybe I still am, but now at least open the programs and produce SOMETHING. It's sad to say, but this experience has been the most rewarding so far in grad school (okay, working for the missourian and VOX are right up there too). I suppose this one was just unexpectedly rewarding. Now, the question is can I make a web site that looks good? This we will have to see...
