Tech Tip: Blogger Profile

I started my Blogger profile years ago in order to comment on Gail Carson Levine's blog. (Which side note, not only is Gail Carson Levine an amazing author, but she has a blog with writing tips that could be extremely useful for this class! Here is the link). The only thing I have ever messed with much for my profile is the picture (how vain). I've never truly understood the point of the profiles, mainly because they always seem so hard to get to. I really have a problem with how it's not easily accessible, you have to go through the link on your blog.

However, I am glad I did this tech tip because I finally figured out how to put the introduction fro my profile underneath my picture on my blog! So much more pressure now to come up with a great introduction!

I have often thought about my online presence because I think I grew up in a strange time. My age group remembers before the internet and social media took over, but we were also so young when it did that it feels natural. We have had an online presence since we were at least 13, often younger! My Webkinz are out there are probably starving!!

I try to be careful with privacy, especially for future jobs and professional opportunities. It is popular in France to not even have your real last name and sometimes first name on Facebook so future employers can never find it. I haven't gone that drastic, but it is creepy how much a stranger can learn about you!
