Good evening everyone, because you are here reading this, you know my portfolio website davidwarrensamford.com is up an running!
As I said before, it’s not fancy but it is functional. The most challenging part has been utilizing what I view as “brand new software” that doesn’t necessarily provide, in my humble opinion, enough explanation and guidance. So much has been trial and error… and I mean A LOT of error. The most challenging part has been creating the videos. I am not skilled at it at all and one (intro video) would not download or import due to a pic or design that I didn’t realized was “premium” and I couldn’t locate it. The other video (an mp4) will not post to my WordPress page/portfolio due to what WordPress dubs “a security risk”. The most rewarding part has been actually getting the web page up and running. After this class, I hope to create others for ministry and fun.
Something else I find rewarding (in a strange and twisted way) is that during this class, I had to learn to type in a whole new manner, without using the little finger on my left hand. I had an injury and ended up having surgery on it on New Years Eve, (I’m talking check into the hospital, get rolled into the OR and put to sleep). I first had a full hand bandage and then later a bandage which was three times the size of my finger. I am now down to a regular size bandage and the doctor says its healing, but typing has been unreal. I just hope when the bandages come off, I can remember to type the right way!
I am looking forward to learning more in this class and applying that knowledge to my future projects as well as other interests such as ministry, family, hobbies, etc. Any pointers or guidance is appreciated and it may help keep my stress levels manageable!
