Blog Training

I have recently been training Denise on blogging. I just saw a couple of Denise’s posts for WOW and WWBC and figured I would share her blogs with you.  She is doing a great job and I am loving the teaching process.  The training process is also helping me to put some good blogging strategies into words. 

This internship has really helped me to solidify the idea that I want to do design work but what I am really passionate about is working with people.  In addition to graphic design, I would love to work one-on-one with artists and other small business to teach them about blogging, or how to use other social media tools to benefit their small business.

I think I will explain some of my more specific goals in another post. 

For example of what I can help people create, check out my other blogs/websites.  All of these examples help people find my artwork online.  Feel free to contact me or leave a message, even just to say "hi."

Squidoo page for my salamander Sheri the Boy (This is really just a sample of a great Search Engine Optimization tool)

Feel free to let me know if there is something else.  Just because I didn't list it here doesn't mean that I don't still have an interest in that area.  And if I don't have an decent background in that are, I may know someone who could help you.

Annual Report

This is the first time I have every really taken the time to learn about an annual report.  

Here are some screen shots of the draft. 

 I think that I like the design that I used for the banner better.  It seems more feminine and still professional.  This cover is just a placeholder for now.

 I am still tracking down information and better photographs.

Websites

Works of Wyoming

Here are links to the two websites that I am updating on a regular basis.  I am using Joomla to do the updates.  I have used several other WYSIWYG editors and Joomla seems like it is way over complicated at least for what we are doing on this site.  Everything that I have had to do so far, has been doable, but could have been done on a much simpler editor.

Most of this has been updating information but I redesigned the Artist's Corner site.  It was set up so that there was a list of names with links and then a collage of images with links.  I thought that it would be important to see all of the images with the names of the artist that had created the work.

Wyoming Women's Business Center

Round Table

I was able to attend a Round Table meeting. These meetings consist of a presentation that relates to a business owner. This particular one was on Quick Books. It was good; however, I am not at a spot where Quick books is a significant part of my life.

The excitement about the Round Table meeting was that I was able to give out business cards and recruit possible clients. There were a couple of women, who were excited to have some specific work done.
