I have been thinking about joining the blogging community for a long time. I have always felt that I have something to offer the rest of the world but unfortunately it wasn’t always apparent to me what that was. Recently my little sister graduated from college with a degree in graphic design. But the program she was in didn’t offer much help in building websites. I had the opportunity to go in and share my knowledge with some of her classmates, a little less than a year ago, only to find out that they didn’t want to learn how to make websites, they wanted to learn Dreamweaver.
How could I convey to them, in a one-hour period, that learning a program is not going to give them the knowledge they needed? So I gave up and showed them around Dreamweaver but made sure to throw out as many resources at the end, for those that really wanted to learn how to make websites.
But now my sister is stuck searching for classes on basic web design just to supplement what should have been built in to her $30,000 a year education. The maddening frustration of it all lit a spark under me and now I have set out to educate the world. I offer my services free of charge, that is unless someone decides to offer me millions of dollars to package my lessons into a book or something. Then you guys will be deciding which you need more, food or my fabulous book or DVD set or whatever it turns out to be.
But until that day I hope you guys at least learn a few things. Make sure to post comments on lessons telling me what you like and don’t like. I take constructive criticism very well but blatant bashing of a personal nature will not be tolerated. With that said enjoy the rest of the blog.
