blogging

I happened to have some free time on Sunday, so I decided to help a friend with some of her homework.
She is taking a multimedia class, granted she is Journalism major down at San Jose State; So you can imagine she isn't really tech or internet savoy.
She actually needed help with her blog and adding a header.
In my opinion, the new blogger is SOMEWHAT idiot proof (at least for me).
For some reason she couldn't get the header to work. Now Blogger now has widgets and a layout editor, which to me makes it easier to use if you know what you are doing.
I took a look at the CSS for the blog, and helped her insert the header image in.

She was amazed that I could even read all the html code. I thought it was kinda funny, since this is somewhat second nature to do at this point for me.

I upgraded her blog to the newer format (she was in the old blogger layout) for her convince. I really wanted to fix her blog overall, but I knew that she wouldn't learn that way.

I have a feeling that I am going to be helping her with the next couple of projects because they are web based; I don't mind since it brushed my skills up and its also good karma.

After she left, I thought she'd be prefect for user testing.
