First newscast

Well we had our first newscast today in my MC 406 class. I was a reporter so I made a package which was about the reptile expo. I brought in an actual bearded dragon to be on my jacket while I talked on camera. It was a chaotic show to say the least. No one knew what was going on or how the show worked. We had little to no direction but powered through it and it will be airing on Channel 8 locally. Here's to hoping next week goes smoother!

Busy Bee

I've got so much going on its crazy. It's my senior year and I picked up another job so now I have three! Why do I do this to myself?! This semester will definitely test how much patience I have and how well I can balance all of my classes, work, and extracurriculars. For now, I'm sitting at Kite's having lunch with friends, enjoying some free time before the week gets too hectic. Let's go!

Converting to Convergence

This is now a blog for my convergence class.


If anyone is interested in my previous project, it is located here http://kstateinternetjournalism.wikifoundry.com/page/Stover%2C+Chelsea although some graphics seem to have expired.

DONE!

Everything went better than expected!

I am finished, all sections are complete, the audio link for download does actually work after all.  I don't know what the problem was but it works fine for me now.  Hopefully it will continue to be able to be downloaded for the next week at least! 

I put in a video about Gerald Gardener, a few pictures, quotes, interviews, snapshot of the yahoo answers and numerous links to the page.

I decided not to do the video, it would have been a great addition, but I didn't have enough time when it came down to it.  Procrastination is an evil thing.

Feels good to have it complete, but it doesn't really feel like summer yet. Hopefully soon.

Over and out.

Mainbar

I'm so close to the end I can taste it!  Everything is complete except for the mainbar.  I have most of it written and separated into categories, but I have a little bit more to write and then proofing.

Well I guess I still have to figure out the link to my interview and get it on the page, the audio recorded one.  It worked for a few days but now it's gone, so I'll have to figure that out.

Almost done!

A Little Bit Closer...

Final's week has just begun, if I wasn't busy enough before I am now.

The sidebar is complete, I think I have too many words but there really isn't anything I could cut out so hopefully it works. 

I only put in about three of the questions because my interviewee talks a lot.  There wasn't anymore room so I put a link at the bottom of the sidebar to download the rest of the interview.  Readers can click on it to listen to us conversing.

The sidebar also contains hyperlinks.  When Proctor refers to something readers could be confused about, they can click on the link and it takes them to a webpage with indepth information.

I chose a quote from Proctor and put it in my main bar in the category "How Society Views Wicca," I think it fits there nicely.

Here it is:

"People take it to be so much worse than it really is.

It’s just another way of practicing your spirituality

in relation to the world around you."
-Reagan Proctor

Only a few days left!

Success

The interview had to be rescheduled to yesterday evening but all went well.

I met with Reagan Proctor, a KSU student who identifies herself as Atheist.  She said she was Atheist, then started Wicca, didn't agree with all of it so she s now back to Atheism.  It's a very interesting interview from an open minded person's opinion on the Wicca religion.

Audio was recorded and should be put up soon, also she is my sidebar! Yay!

Notes:
There's also a link to my Delicious page at the bottom next to the link to this blog!
I'm gonna put hyperlinks in the text so people know what she's referring to.
I took the witches hat wordle down, doesn't seem to fit now... maybe it'll end up back on the page but it was huge and distracting.
