Hate The Deed
I did my Media 2.0 project in the form of a Blog. I did a lot of trial and error. Once I created a blog, I had no clue where to go from there. I read an article online that suggested sites like Yahoo! Q&A.. Epic Fail! I did answer dog posts and then included my URL, and I saw that people were visiting the sites, but they were not staying or following, or commenting on anything I posted. So, I decided to strictly focus on the Blog Elements, and get in touch with fellow pet bloggers. I came across the website PBU. They did a special new blogger post on me, and this opened a lot of new doors. I also commented on animal related blogs, mostly blogs relating to pit pulls. There were over 40 comments that I made on other peoples blogs, I saw Over 40 because there are some that I forgot to keep track of, but 40 is still a good number for this short term project. I commented on others blogs and responded to the majority of the comments on my blog. When seeing other popular animal blogs I would take some of their elements and style and try to tie it in with my blog. I have 406 hits as of yesterday of my blog. Generally I receive about 20 hits for a new post. I really enjoy commenting on other blogs and seeing their styles. Creating a banner is something i had difficulty with. Blogger is not well equipped to do that. And with my computer I do not have PhotoShop. But I've really enjoyed this blog and have had a positive experience with it.

Kimberly, very intersting project. I don't know if you use gmail or not but if you do, you might consider using their Picasa software which is available to all gmail users. It includes the software needed to edit images particularly for web use and it is free with your gmail account. http://picasatutorials.com/
