Website

Oh yes, I almost forgot, I have a website and it's up and running and if I do say so myself, it's awesome! Of course, I'm bias... so you should check it out. It's saraschram.com (cool huh?). I love it so far, and it's just getting started. Ideally this will serve as my final portfolio for graduation, so I really want it to be awesome and polished up.

I'll just go over some basic features right now. I have a slideshow (which took me a while to get it to work) on every page with photos from Spain that I edited in Photoshop (which was cool in itself because I got to learn more about the software). Then on the contact page I have a form! This is exciting too. Having my own website I've realized a lot more about how much work goes into the different functions. It's really cool to see the endless possibilities.

I want my website to be more interactive, so in the future I want to try and incorporate a "contest" for my photography webpage. I'm going to post hmm, let's say four photos each month and have people vote for which is their favorite. Then at the top of the page will be the previous month's winner. Obviously I don't know how to code this yet, but I will figure it out!

I think I might want to play around with fonts in the future too, but since that's something that works and looks decent, I might put that on the back burner for now. I'm thinking about adding a graphic to each page too, or at least some, like the portfolio page. It seems (like some other pages) a bit bland right now, so I want to amp it up and pop some color in there!

In the near future I want to link this blog to my social networking page. I think it'll help add a new dimension to the site and give people a reason to keep coming back, along with my photo contest. I think for my resume page I'm gonna switch it up again. I might put the photo of the PDF for my resume there instead of everything typed out. It kind of looks messy right now.

I also want to outline my signature logo at the top, and work on the argyle pattern I created for the head bar. Maybe fade it out a bit so it's more of an accent as opposed to in-your-face? Well, I've got lots of ideas for it!
