Final post

This is my final post for this blog, I submitted assignment 5 to my tutor some time ago (1st October) and prior to that completed all of the exercises and my web site - I just never got around to completing my blog.

Referring back to my aims for this module, I would say I have had mixed results:

1. I still lurk around the OCA forums but have only contributed on a few occasions.

2. I loaded TAOP assignment 1, plus feedback, onto the website but found the format cumbersome. I have created a Flickr account this year and joined the OCA group, so I will investigate uploading my assignment work there.

3. Blogging - I don't think I'm a natural blogger. I find writing my thoughts on the web a very premeditated thing to do, because for them to make any sense they need to be clear, concise and orderly. My thoughts don't usually happen like that; they tend to be confused scraps of thoughts that may or may not coalesce into something tangible. I have a scruffy pocket book (the A5 Black 'n' Red from the OCA) that I use to think in - this book contains lists, ideas for images and rough layout drawings; correction for images and much more. But none of it very ordered. I wonder whether it would be appropriate to scan pages from my book and load them into my blog?
I have started P&P and intend to continue blogging, because I think being able to relax into a blog would be a good thing.

4. I have been much more structured this year and, with the exception of 1 month out, have maintained a reasonable pace throughout the course.

My intention is to submit my DDP work for assessment in March 2012.

When I set up my P&P blog I will return and add a link here.

Thank you for your time.
