Although not an official part of my Independent Study, I’ve decided that I’m going to spend some amount of project time investigating social media as a means of promotion.

I’m very new to this concept, so hope to learn via a lot of trial and error, but I’ve started by getting a Twitter account for the site @unknowntalesnet, and have created a Facebook Page where you have the ability to become a fan of the site. I’ve not yet decided exactly what I’m going to do with these two, but at least I’ve made a start, and hopefully inspiration will strike.

That’s about it for now. I’ll be doing lots of reading between now and September, so if you have any book suggestions (anything relating to website user interfaces, or social media), please let me know.

Cheers.

Not too much to say about it right now, other than the fact that I’ve started working on my Independent Study!

By ‘started’, what I mean is that I’m reading a book called Success in your Project which should give me some guidelines as to what I need to do. Once I’ve finished that, I’ll need to start working on my development plan, and then do lots more reading.

Anyway, apart from that, I have some good news. I got an A- for my Nature of Computing module, which is very nice considering I was aiming for a B, all I need now is another A, and a B, and I’ll graduate with a First! I get one of my remaining grades tomorrow, so I’ll report back then.

Update

Got my grade for Advanced Web Design earlier: A+ (I’m very happy about that.)
