Learning Journal

For my business web site I did a few changes. First I added my sort of cover letter on my website, see blog title..Heidi Simon ~ Technical Consultant (Oct 7th). I added this information to my blog so people viewing my site can have an idea of my background in education and the experience in technology, as well as all the First Nation communities I have had the privilege to work with. Then I changed the title of my main page "Aboriginal Technology Consultant". I also changed the theme color, to a more polished professional, yet simple theme color and design. I added a picture on my Title (Under the banner) I was trying to be creative, if this was truly my business website - I would have put my company logo and mission on this spot. (I googled this picture and placed it there). I decided to keep my profile picture - which is one of my profile pictures , where I am attending a conference. I did not include other pictures - in fact I removed my personal pictures and some pictures of sunsets that I had. I just did not think they represented the professional image I was trying to portray. I am trying to keep a simple technical language in my site. I also decided not to remove any of my past blogs as they were geared to technology in the aboriginal communities, which fits my business image. Most of my previous blog discussed Health Information Technology and Technology in the First Nation Community. I also decided to include links to some of my favorite technology links in terms of resources. But I also decided to leave my personal links as well. I am a practicing catholic and my site reflects this with my links as well hopefully with my values.
