Blog Post #1

     I want my blog to have a sense of maturity to it, but not one that is so strong that it takes away from my being a 17 year old girl. I chose to make my background a pile of black-and-white polaroid pictures for two reasons. Firstly, making a written version of "Annabel Lee" my background proved to make my text extremely hard to read. Secondly, I do enjoy "older" things like that. I love the originality, rarity, and history surrounding it. To me, pictures are the next best thing to words (a picture is worth a thousand words, after all), so it only made sense to choose the image I did.

    As I stated in the previous paragraph, I want my blog to reflect my maturity. Although I'm still a teenager, I really do believe I have a high maturity level for my age. I also appreciate simplicity. This is why I decided to keep my font (Arial) and text color (black) at the default options. I also made my font black so it would match the polaroid pictures in my background. I also believe that it makes the text easier to read because black is typically the color of all text we read.
