Lots of Videos!

Over break I had a chance to work on my website some more. I uploaded many more photographs that I have taken into my portfolio as well as collected video for more of my stories. The only way I could find how to add the video to my blog was by first uploading the videos to YouTube and then linking the videos. I had some trouble finding all my video and story links because KOMU.com doesn't show all of them. It is quite weird... last weekend I got on KOMU.com and found a story, then just today I looked and searched and could not find the story for the life of me! It has happened a few times to me. I don't know what is happening but perhaps it is something that Jen will know about.

After collecting all the video I could find, I was able to upload them to YouTube and get them all uploaded to my website. I have re-published www.trinityjnelson.com and will continue to work on it!

Attack of the Flu and my website!

So this week started out well with a good Monday, including comic relief during class when Liz Gelardi was scared by our guest speaker in class and spilled coffee everywhere! Then Wednesday rolled around and I worked my web shift at KOMU and all was well. Phil, Jill and I had all the stuff up and done fairly early. There were a few technical difficulties when the TIVO stopped working and we couldn't record the 5PM show. But luckily, one of the tech guys helped us out. I was able to work a little on my website this week www.trinityjnelson.com and it is coming along nicely. I encountered a couple problems while trying to get video uploaded but I figured out how to compress it and finally post it through youtube to my site. I hope this works for the rest of the video I am intending to put up. After my shift on Wednesday I worked on capstone stuff and I felt a little odd... headache and tired but didn't really think much of it until I woke at 5:30 am Thursday. I was sick, sick to my stomach, my head and my hold body was achy. I am pretty it was the flu because of how it has been going around. There are 2 other girls in my house that have had it so of course I, with my terrible immune system, would get it. I didn't attend my capstone group's meeting on Friday because I was sick but I was able to post 4 different things that I had been working on to our google group for the rest to see. I am finally feeling better having slept most of Thursday, Friday and most of today (Saturday). I am up late because I am not tired, but at least I am not up sick. I was also able to feel well enough to watch the Big 12 Championship today and see the Tigers clench the "V"! So even though I was hit by sickness at the end of the week, I was still able to get a lot done at the beginning of the week and the weekend has been good so far!

Graduation! Internet! Fun!

So this week was the graduation fair and oh how exciting it is! I know have my gown, cap and tassel. I can't believe that time has went so fast but here it is, half a semester until I graduate. I still have so many things that I want to do before I leave, but then on the other hand I am ready to get out of here! I have recently been applying to several different sorts of jobs to see if any of those work out. I am really starting to look for jobs which I can apply internet skills to. I have learned so much already this year as far as working for the web goes. I practiced design and constructing websites during several classes now and in my capstone course I am learning how to make the most of the internet in the journalism world. I have been trained a little on flash and have also been trying to develop my web design skills more. I enjoy blogging, checking up on other interactive websites and news sites as well as starting to collect material for my very own website. I can't wait until I get it completely up and running.

WEBSITE!

So this weekend I finally bought my own domain name so I can get to work on my online portfolio and resume material. I hopefully will have the site up and running in this next week so everyone will have to check it out. I think it is pretty cool and I look forward to seeing what all I can do with my site. Go to my site by clicking HERE.

It isn't much now, just a place for godaddy.com to park some adds, but I will change that soon enough!




I wanted to add that pic just for fun, one of the newer ones from Micah and I's 1 year anniversary. :)
