It's Complicated
These past two weeks have been very interesting. I think I have attempted making a site with about three or four other website builders. I have been trying to use Webs, but it constantly has problems with the site. I have tried Yola, Wix and Doodlekit. I have been able to do different things with each one in order to build up the photo blogging website I had in mind, but something always gets in the way. The main issue is money. The features I want to use on the website I am trying to create cost money: on their PREMIUM packages. I have finally figured my way around all this. Because I have already made my trailer and advertised "STICTURE" on the Internet, it would be a big pain to tell my viewers they have to join a whole other site. So, my solution is to work with what I am provided with on Webs.com and create an online album with a separate site. The idea would be to have the album on another site, but have the link to go directly to the page on the actual "STICTURE" site. I hope to accomplish that this week so there will be no more time being wasted on trying out all these different sites in hopes for them providing them with what I need. I am thinking of using Photobucket for the album site. Are there any other suggestions for a website that can provide me with a good online photography storage?

Well, hello there!
So this week was a pretty stressful week for many reasons. School, issues at home and no mainly just issues at home is the rest of it. Although, I can say this week something pretty cool happened: I met one of my panel members, Billy Stone, from Houston's Stonefilms. You can visit his site to learn a little about what he does at: Stonefilms.com. He works with the making of commercials and local information shows. It was really nice to meet him. He has a very outgoing personality and I felt very comfortable talking to him. He was up at my school interviewing some students. I was pretty surprised when I found out he was on campus. I was really nervous to meet him. He had recently replied to one of my e-mails giving me some feedback on my website. I was able to fix a few things here and there, for example, my font on the site. He said I was doing very well and that really gave me a confident boost. It let me know I was doing something right. He is very quick in giving me feedback without my asking. He also gave me this idea to make my very own logo for my site. I need to find out how I can do that on the site,but I will find a way. Soon, I will post a video on my website to give my members a better idea what the website is all about. I will be speaking to my viewers and hopefully that can help me gain more. Oh! Before I forget, I have great news! I was finally given a camera as a gift! I am not sure what the model is, but I know the name of the camera is LUMIX. It is amazing! I love it! I will upload pictures I have taken with it on the site so go check them out! Just in case you forgot my website is "STICTURE".
