My name is Stephanie. I live in Homewood, IL, which is a suburb on the south side of Chicago. I currently work at the Harvey Public Library District as the Young Adult Library Assistant. I've been here for about 6 months and before that I worked in Circulation at another library for 5 years. As far as this class goes, I'm very comfortable with computers and technology. I'm almost 25 and have grown up with advancing technology throughout my life. Back in the Myspace days, I was big into writing HTML for layouts, but I used a template so it wasn't too difficult. I'm very familiar with Adobe Photoshop and have dabbled in other programs of the Create Suite. My boyfriend works in IT for a film post-production house and has taught me a lot of "behind the scenes" aspects of computers, but I'm definitely not fluent. I really enjoyed the article about how IT employees are also like therapists because people have meltdowns when their technology isn't working because that is just like me and my boyfriend. He fixes all of my tech problems and saves the day, but also teaches me what he's doing so I know in the future. I'm a quick learner and have always been able to figure new technology out through trial and error so I'm looking forward to this class to learn even more in-depth information about computers.

Hi Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteI seems like you are already multiple steps ahead of me when it comes to HTML. The only time I really saw those words was when I was putting up books at work. At least you have a little insight into IT and HTML from someone who those both for a living, so when you do have those little melt downs. I believe that IT people are my therapist, because after three minutes of not solving the problem it's time for me to get on the phone for some IT help.

I like your blog, Stephanie. It is colorful and fun, and I love all of the pictures. I also like the favorite books link to Good Reads. Very nice job.
