Today's task was to further explore the question: What is the easiest way for a user who doesn't know HTML to upload images on Blogger? The ctc afterschool program I'm working with will be using blogger for the poetry blog and in the example I added some images. So, you may be wondering what connection does that drawing have?

We've done audio, we've done video, we've done text, and we've done some photo slide shows. And it has occurred to me that it almost seems like journalists need, from the way the things are right now, to re-imagine themselves as artists, and that they almost have to have a different mentality, "I'm an artist, I've got to find funding."

I put each woman's photo at the beginning of when she talks to mark each section. Does anyone in the room identify as an artist, by any chance? I just want to dispel the myth that we are not activists and that we are not artists. I sort of started my journey wanting to be an artist, and my mother told me I was too smart for art.
