Photoshopped Images Mislead Us

Have you ever been distracted by beautiful women in bikinis on the front of magazines at the grocery store check out stand, wondering how on earth that person got into perfect shape?

Photoshopped images are widely misunderstood by both men and women and are confused with untouched photos. A belief is instilled especially in women that they need to look like the models in magazines. Men also have an impossible desire to have a magazine cover girlfriend. But what is difficult to comprehend is that those women don't even look like their own photo! Watch this video to learn more.

What is HTML?

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, which is used to design websites. HTML language includes tags, information visible on page and information only seen on the source page. Webpages can be designed by starting from scratch with HTML or through Dreamweaver using cascading style sheets or through many other webdesign programs. No matter what program you choose, the source page will be seen in HTML format.

Creating a blog

Creating a blog is so simple! It only takes a few minutes to have your very own website where you can log any thoughts, experiences or stories about your life. Linking your friend's blogs to your blog is fun and easy to follow other people's thoughts and feelings. Blogspot.com is a great place to start a blog.

What is SEO?

Search Engine Optimization is all about using descriptive words in the title of your website, on your page and as meta tags to appear closer to the top on a search engine result page. Appearing near the top (if you can get on the first page of results, that is splendid!) is visible first to the person searching, which means they are more likely to visit your site. Companies all over hire an SEO professional to work full-time striving to be consistent in word usage on the page, be accurate in the meta tag words and appearing first on a search engine page.

Summer weekends

Summer weekends are the best, aren't they? There is so much to do when the weather is so nice! Over the weekend, we went camping with my sister, one of my nephews, one of my nieces and my cousin. We found the perfect camping spot up in the mountains where it was perfectly silent all morning on Saturday. We went hiking, roasted hot dogs, the usual. It was so much fun to spend time with them and enjoy the outdoors. Saturday, we went paintballing with my dad, sister, brother and nephew. What a hoot! But boy, do those things sting when you get hit! I sported a sweet paintball uniform that was handed down to me and sweat bullets because it was so hot. I jumped in the kiddy pool in my clothes when we got done. We had a blast (no pun intended). Then we had dad's famous hamburgers and homemade root beer for dinner- yum! **Can I just say how grateful I am for my dad? He's my buddy and I love him very much! My grandpa was there too, so I got to wish him a happy daddy day too. I also have two great brothers-in-law who are great dads to my nieces and nephews, and my brother who is a father of 4. Then there's my father-in-law who is so much dang fun. Dads rock!** Then we went to my friends' wedding reception, which was beautiful! (and tasty- yum num treats) Then me, Ky and Trev went to see Toy Story 3!! Cowabunga it was hilarious. There were multiple times when I couldn't hold back my laughter. Thanks Pixar, for not letting me down. Sunday after church, we had Ky's family over to celebrate fathers day on his side. I love his family too. What a bunch of goofs. To finish off the weekend, Ky and I went for a long motorcycle ride up to Antelope Island. I loved holding on to my darlin while we rode. We have so much fun together and I love him so much! 3 1/2 years has f-l-o-w-n by! I'm so grateful to be the wife of such a great guy and I'm so proud of him. I feel so spoiled to have him. Over and out for now!
