Week 12: Creating a Professional Web Presence

I've always been interested in learning about how to create a Web site.  I would like to continue learning more about HTML and coding so that one day I can create my own site.  This week in class we learned how to make our own professional web presence sites on Google sites.  Google sites allows you to create a site without knowing HTML, coding, or anything too complex.  I created my whole site and uploaded information in just a few hours.  There are many other ways to make personal sites for free, Google Sites is just one of them.  

My professional web presence site is something I can continue to use after this class is over.  I have already uploaded my resume, examples of my work and links to some articles I have written.  It is a great tool to have as a journalist and if tweaked, can really be turned into something valuable.  It is something that potential employers can look at to learn more about me and my experience.

I am considering buying a domain name for my site so that I can list it as a regular .com URL.  You can buy domain names through Godaddy.com. Some Domain names cost less than $10 a year.
