Book recommendations?
I am going to go to college fall of 2011 and want to start looking into what I'm interested in. I have been home-schooled my whole life so I haven't had much experience in extra curricular classes.
Some of the things I am wanting to learn more about are:
Anatomy
Fashion design
Blogging
Sewing
ACT prep
GED prep
Interior design
Graphic design
Sketching
Harmonica
Guitar
Voice
Accessory design
Business planning
Life planning
Child development
Cosmetology
Hair design
Photography and Photo shop
and Baking
I am a very creative person but want some basic skills in my hobbies to back me up. If you have any good book recommendations please send them my way. Thank you!
As you have to join college in fall 2011. I'll advice you to try your hand in blogging. There're are distinct benefits of blogging: you can interact with people (that in a way will make for interaction as of home schooling) and that way you can gain insights on your choice of creative activity.
Regarding blogging, I'll recommend Google's Blogger.com on which you can create your blog.
The points favoring my recommendations are:
If someone is new to blogging, the blogging site should be easy and doesn't make one disappointed in future, when he/she will be technically far more ahead at implementing things than they're at present.
Then let I assure you, Blogger.com, a blogging platform by Google is by far the best.
Blogger.com is the best platform for all bloggers, irrespective of their tech expertise. In addition, another benefit of using blogger is that you get traffic from Google search as well.
Google's blogger.com is a pretty versatile blogging platform. The url format of your new blog will be xyz.blogspot.com, where xyz represents your name. But if you want to make the url look xyz.com, blogger allows you to do that as well. You can tweak the looks of your blog, from 1 percent to 100 percent and add much functionality to it as well.
For beginner, getting started is quite easy too, just three steps:
Create an account (if you have an existing gmail account, then you can use that too)
Name your blog
Choose a template
In the beginning, one can make a blog, by taking the three above steps. The same blogger can be tweaked in future to resemble in looks and functionality of a professional blog.
One more thing, if someone harbours the idea of making money from the blog; then let I assure you a blog on Blogger.com gives a person most independent revenue making setup.
Thanks
