Tonight's Class and my attendance

Hello Fellow Blogger 101'ers! I've got a project at work that is of course taking longer than expected and has to be out the door today. I am pretty sure I will be late; worse case I will not be able to attend. I've asked Prof. Fisher to email me any of his handouts. Also if anyone has any notes that I miss, I would appreciate your sharing with me. Sorry for this messy unedited blog, it hurts my eyes to even look at it, but I only have a couple of minutes. Please don't mistake my big 'ol sad, empty, blank personal blog as evidence of my indifference to this class. I absolutely loved it and it has give me the motivation and fundamentals to start. This class has done in three weeks what I could not do in two years! FYI I would be up for a refresher 101! Anyone else?

Dear All

Dear All, Just dropping a brief note as I have taken a break from caring for my MIL in Florida. I will be on my way back to SC in the morning and hopefully to class tomorrow evening. Then, surgery Wed. Yike's! I really have learned alot Doug, just haven't had time to implement it all, yet! You have given me the confidence to explore the unknown, something that I thought I had forgotten how to do. I appreciate your taking the time to answer my questions and making me feel confident and at ease about blogging. I really wish there was a Blogging 102 to follow this course. I am looking forward to spending my recovery time developing my blog and chating with my new friends in blog land. I have enjoyed meeting all of my blogmates...looking forward to chating and visiting your blogs soon. If by chance I don't make it to class tomorrow...I enjoyed meeting each of you and wish you happy blogdays!!!

The Gang of Four

As part of the blogging class, everyone has (or had) set up a blog.

First up is Dwaun Sellers, who runs the Shopping Savage.com. Dwaun is a journalist who discovered new media in his journey into fashion reporting and advice.

Second in line is Carolyn Parks who spends her time kayaking on Lake Murray and taking photos. You can see some of her photos at Lots of Time.

Third up is Carole Shealy, a closet writer looking for an outlet in the blog-sphere to share her tips and tricks for getting through life nd getting a grip through her brilliant : - ) observations and insight.  Check it out on The Bewildered Pen.

Fourth up is Peggy Breeland, a certified interior designer looking to create a blog spot designed to help those who need affordable design solutions for their home by renewing, re-purposing, and reinventing their current design style. 

Homework

Hello Folks: Unfortunately, the day after our first class, my spouse and I had to drive to Florida for an medical emergency with my in-laws.  I only just arrived back Sunday night, nearly missed our homework assignment (blog address and my first Blogging 101 posting). I really enjoyed visiting your blogs, I know I will be visiting them again.  One goal for my personal blog is to post decorating design ideas at a low cost and to create designs by repurposing and reinventing things we currently own in our own homes.  Mostly, I want to focus on what is available in our local area, but still want to share some of the sites I use for inspiration from other bloggers, web sites, design books etc.  If you have any design questions, I am perfectly happy to share my ideas or send you in the right direction........Looking forward to seeing you all in tonight's class.
