Who is Misty? For starters, I am a full
time mother of two, full time career woman, full time student, and full time
wife. If only there were more of me I would be all set. My number one goal in
life is to provide a good home for my family. My kids are the inspiration
that keeps me going. I work hard in everything I do for them. My other interests include everything to do
with water. I love swimming, oceans, and relaxing on the beach. My plan is
that one day I would be able to live on the waterfront in southern I also consider myself
to be developing spiritually. I’m just trying to find my way and what my
purpose is in this life. Generally I like to consider myself a realist with a
positive outlook on the future. Rather than acting in a brash or abrupt
manner I typically prefer to consider all of my options before making any important
decisions. That’s just me. My Professional
Biography: I’ve always had great
leadership skills. I’m very organized in the professional world, and I get
things done in a timely manner. Communication is no obstacle for me. I’m very
open with what’s on my mind and at the same time I recognize opportunities when
they present themselves and express my opinions accordingly. At times I may be
considered a perfectionist and my greatest challenge is knowing my capacity
for work and curbing my impulses to take on too much at once. My current
focus is on time management and understanding when to say “enough.” My greatest contribution
to our team will be my ability to see the big picture and convey that message
to our audience. As presentation coordinator my greatest challenge is to
bring the group together in one sit down while in the midst of everyone’s
hectic schedules. Alas, such is life! Webpage Work
Breakdown:
I began by using Professor Mayani’s webpage
as the base upon which to build my webpage. I saved her page onto my local
machine and re-opened it in Microsoft word. I found that Word was much easier
to use than Notepad. The group decided that we all wanted
similar color schemes and we chose red, white, and blue. I hyper linked two
websites that were used in my portion of the formal report for Podcasting in
Business and Podcasting in Current Issues. I then internally linked the
groups operating agreement to my webpage. I also linked each member’s webpage
to my own by using the “a ref” command and adding in each individual’s user
name. I added a picture of my son and I with
the “insert picture” command from a file on my local computer. I had to
resize the picture to fit into the correct spot on my webpage. Once I was finished with all of the
formatting and writing I then created a folder with all of the internal files
used on my page so that when I uploaded the documents there would be no
confusion as to which files I used on the page. I downloaded the FTP (File Transfer
Protocol), provided by the professor, and began the uploading process. I had
to “quick connect” and enter all of my information to get live onto the space
the school provides for each student. I then went into the left side of the
screen, which has all of my local drives, and went into the folder created
for the webpage. I “selected all” and “uploaded” into the html file on the
right side of the screen. I then “refreshed” and opened my webpage to make
sure it was working properly. If I ever needed to change anything
in the word document, I would “save”, “refresh,” and re-upload into the html
file so the webpage would update on the school’s site. At the beginning of
the process I found it to be a bit difficult to change the settings, so I am
thankful that our team’s webpage coordinator, Jesse, mentored me and helped me
start the process! |
