I'm back! (Post 7)

I guess I haven't been the best intern in keeping up to date with my blogging, but now things seem slower, I think I'll try to be better. What I have been doing in the mean time however, is work for Cocoa Cottages at www.cocoacottages.com and Plan Logical at www.planlogical.com. I've presented more designs and logo ideas to Orion Academy, and hopefully that will be my next new project. I've been careful to document everything and I think I'm getting the hang of things.

Post 6: Over 9000!!! (seconds)

Hey there, I almost didn't see you. No literally, I can't see. All that strain from staring at html on this laptop screen has finally gotten to me. I'm not complaining, I enjoy the experience of learning. I find myself learning quicker than I imagine. No longer to I have to hastily rush to online forums to trouble shoot my problems. While I am not nearly close to completely self reliant, I don't think my employers mind my occasional questions as I am actually doing work.

Today I worked on a client site: www.cabritsdive.com where I had my first experiences with Dreamweaver. While it may be called a "What you see is what you get" It would be better off coined "What you see is what you might get". After a few head aches, I finally got the wanted result.

After I finished updating the pages, I decided to stay over time. I gather more enjoyment from working here then I would sleeping at home. I finished up documenting how to make Maps on Google maps (the fruit of which is seen below) and finally took down additional notes for future projects. I'm going to miss when my Internship is done.
