BLOG SITES

Create a blog site that will be an online portfolio of the projects and assignments that you create in Intro to Film and Photography.  Here is a checklist of what needs to be on your site:

            1. Create a background that matches who you are-it can be a photo you have taken
            2. Change the FONTS to match you-THEY CAN NOT BE THE DEFAULT FONTS
            3. Make 3 NEW PAGES-Photos, Photoshop and Films
            4. Upload all past assignments onto those 3 pages (For the photos, only upload the BEST)
            5. HOME PAGE-create a home page by clicking on NEW POST.  Here you should have
                a paragraph about what the site is about and a photo.  It can be one of your
                favorite photos you took or a photo that represents who you are.  It is up to you,
                but be appropriate.
            6. Make Color changes to your FONTS
