Learning Blog 1

So this is my introductory blog, giving you a little info about me:

I'm a second semester MLIS student, focusing on youth services in public libraries. Although...I'm sure I'll end up being some sort of reference librarian because I'm obsessed with finding answers to random questions... I never realized how often people ask reference-type questions until I took the reference class this summer. On Twitter, on Facebook, from family members...It's not that people specifically ask me the question but I feel the need to at least try to find the answer.

Anyway...I'm still thinking about website ideas. I'll probably make the page by myself (as opposed to working with a group), somehow combining my interest in teen services (homework help and readers advisory) and reference.  Suggestions are welcome! :)

Like I mentioned in class, I do have a little experience creating HTML websites (VERY basic ones...). I think I've made 4 or 5, but I couldn't tell you the addresses, though they probably all still exist somewhere in cyberspace. They were just for fun. All made before I turned 25, if that tells you anything :)

Since I'm a writer (unpublished, but revising my second novel for agent submissions later this month) I want to have more sophisticated web design skills so I can build a personal website. Having a web presence is so important for authors and a professional-looking website says a lot!

Can't wait to learn more and am excited to start experimenting!
