Today is the first day that i’ve ever attempted a blog. I have to say that creating the blog was not a difficult task by any means. I however, had a difficult time realizing what I should be titling my blog and in the future my title of Gender and Technology will most likely change as we get further into the course and my blog has a set view of what my topic post will be about. I am excited though to keep this updated and use the skills we learn from this blog to maybe one day start my own blog because I have always wanted to start a lifestyle blog just never had the motivation and with the structure of this course I believe I will soon be able to have the experience under my belt.

Setting up the email signature. This is a funny topic because prior to being an HDFS student I was in the school of Design and Human Environment with a focus on Apparel Design. In the program many of the teachers required us to have a signature so mine was already almost fully set up just had to add in the blog link. I think that signatures are a good thing for every person who is emailing professionally to have because it makes the email look more professional and complete before sending it.

Finally, being asked if I like listening to my computers text reading I have to say no, I sometimes find it helpful while studying because I can focus on note taking while listening rather than reading and pausing for notes. I however do not like listening to it because I tend to find the computer monotone and get bored as I listen to the computer read webpages.
