Google Sites

Inside The Swamp, one of Gainesville's most famous sports bars, hangs an alligator with a rose in its mouth.  It seemed silly to me at first, but now I sense the deeper meaning.  Someone is telling us that no matter how scaly our exterior, no matter how thick our skin and sharp our teeth, we are all protecting a softer side.  Today's sports bar is still a place for men to be men, but it's not uncommon anymore to overhear a discussion on fashion, the arts or politics.  The same idea applies to the internet: The web can be a big and scary place, but it holds many beautiful roses.  Websites like Blogger allow anyone be an author; and Google lets you build a website, create a photo album and hold virtual conferences with ease.  Here is a website I made for my sports bar blog using Google Sites.  In my class at the University of Florida, RTV3280, we learn just how accessible the web can be.  I am excited to be involved in a media revolution in which anything is possible!

  1. You're doing a great job with the technology involved!
    Can't wait to see more content.

    In the meantime, can you please tell Blogger (Google) to get compatible with Firefox?? Comment posting protocol doesn't work in FF.
