CollegeBlender.com is a social media website for college students who blog.  It's a pretty good tool to use if bloggers of the college demographic need a boost of views and acknowledgment.  QLC has been a "Verified CollegeBlender.com Blog" for only three days now, and the experience has been overall pretty good.  Other members of the site can "bump" what you write, and receive updates to your blog through the CollegeBlender mini-feeds.  Each blog also gets a point rating based on votes received (QLC has recieved a respectable 4).  Plus, it also tracks how many hits each of your posts have gotten through the website.  I have met quite a few fellow bloggers through CollegeBlender as well, and have learned a lot about how to blog more proficiently (despite having done so already). I have to say the site is pretty well maintained, despite a few manageable flaws such as not being able to delete posts from a mini feed after they have been deleted from the blog. 

 "So whats the point of this?" you might ask.  QLC's article "I'm Not Going To Teach Him How To Dance With You" has already made their front page today! Yay! I don't know what the qualifications for making the front page are, but you have to admit it's pretty exciting.  I mean, I'm up there with CNN posts and blogs about "Google and China".  Quite honestly, the post was very simple to write, it was done in a matter of minutes, so I'm kind of shocked that I made it to the front page.  I wonder who decides what sites get on there or not.  I mean, the post has only received 11 views from CollegeBlender, and no comments as of yet.  Anyways, its still good news to me!

So, this weekend has been spent making major updates to QLC!  I have made a Nav Bar with separate blog and schedule sites.  It took me a while, but I finally got it down.  Yeah me! More nav sites to be coming soon as well, so that's always exciting.  As you can see I have also updated the overall layout thanks to some handy dandy editing.  AND..... I have updated twitter feeds to all sites!  I don't really "tweet" all that much, but it should be interesting!  Although the site isn't exactly where I want it to be yet, I am happy to see that there is some sort of direction now!  Lets see.... what else.... Oh yeah! I am going to put up a music page.  I ran a music review blog a little while ago, but it was nothing really like this.  It was actually kinda hokey...lol.  But, I think a music section would be a fine addition to QLC.

Um, so, basically this site is going to be geared towards my education and persuit of a college degree (hopefuly leading into law school).  In conjunction with that there will also be a section dedicated to papers and academic work I have done (or will complete), and class related stuff  I also plan to have a goals section up.  As you can see in my blog I have written quite a lot about goals.  Goal setting means a lot to me, and it is a very awesome tool to harness.  

I'm really new to this blogging type of thing, so bare with me!  I hope I can get at least a couple of commenting readers out in the near future, cause that would be really really awesome

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy!
If not... then... Oh, well...
