I should be studying

Yes, I should be reading from my textbook. I will, this week it is graphic file formats. I am quite familiar with .jpg, .tif and .png files. Believe it or not, I have not used .gif files very much, though that will no doubt change to a degree. But while viewing the blog on my Droid phone I spotted an older typo that I had accidentally overlooked, so I logged in to make the correction.

Now that fall classes have started I am taking formal training in MS Office, even though I have used some of the suite for a number of years. I'm learning much more than I anticipated, but doing OK. My other class is an upgrade class focusing on building an online portfolio. Since I went live with my web site in June, my portfolio is already functioning, so I am expanding mine, by adding a link to a biographical/profile page that will discuss a bit about myself, and some of my experiences both outside and in graphic design. Part of my reasoning is that at the moment I like my web site design,and want to keep the format for now. My approach will allow me to add or subtract or even delete completely if I choose, the biographical page, without forcing a complete redo of the web site.

Now I need to decide what I want to say about myself. And of course, I don't know what the ending will be like yet.
