Age: 19
Born: October 28, 1985
Sign: Scorpio
From: Massachusetts, usa
Current Job(s): "Manager" of dollbuddieicons.net and msndollies.com, and free lance webdesigner
Dream Jobs: I would love work somewhere in the areas of graphic design, computer programming or scripting, or webdesign.
School: In college majoring in interactive media
Interests: Drawing, painting, taking tons of pictues with my digital camera, making and designing websites, trying to learn guitar and piano, skiing, shopping, going to the beach, learning new things, playing video games :P, and hanging out with my friends
Dreams: My dream is to move away to somewhere nice that's near the ocean. I don't care if I live in a little apartment or in a huge mansion - as long as I'm happy and doing something I love, I'll be satisfied! I hope that someday I can make a living out of art or webdesign. :)
Websites
Websites: I became interested in website making in 7th grade. I used to go on the computer a lot and visit various websites, and I always wondered how people make these awesome pages. Through a little website, I found a link that directed me to www.expage.com. This site provided free websites for people, and it didn't requre html knowledge at all. I was so excited that my website was just a point and click away. Eventually, I learned that REAL webpages needed html coding. I found www.lissaexplains.com and www.funky-chickens.com, which helped me learn all the basics of html. I started a website on expage.com, which ended up being pretty popular! Then I moved onto angelfire.com and made another website using just html. That site got pretty boring, so I made some doll websites (websites that offered graphics of all those little cartoon girls that you see everywhere) because they're pretty popular. In november 2002 I made a doll icon website (dollbuddieicons.net), that right now is receiving about 4,000 hits a day and in june 2004 I made this website, msndollies.com, which is receiving an average of 65,000 a day (craziness!!). I've learned a lot since my first website in 7th grade, and I hope to continue to make websites for a long time!
Programs: I use adobe photoshop, paint shop pro, animation shop, and ms paint to design layouts.
Coding: I code all of the html in my layouts and websites myself. I can't write css codes off the top of my head, but I'm familiar with it. I use notepad to write my codes, and I use ws_ftp to edit my websites. I hope to learn php or asp in the future.
