My Part in Creating TravelTelevison.org: Roxana

Hello!

I am one of the students from Churchill who helped create
TravelTelevison.org. I specifically worked on the Blogs portion. I searched for websites that were about Hurricane Katrina and spoke of the volunteers. I found that CommonGroundRelief.org and HandsonGulfCoast.org would be the best to try and link with for ProjectKatrinaVolunteers.com. I also helped set up the blog account on Blogger.com (KatrinaVolunteers.blogspot.com). The process did not take long at all. We looked at various Blog Hosting sites and found that BlogSpot is one of the best. All we did was enter our e-mail, choose a password and user name, then a URL name for the site; that's all it took - and the best part is that it's ready when you are. The main reason we thought that a blog account would be appropriate is one: many people use blogs to communicate with others and comment on issues they believe in; two: it's efficient and what you say can be out on the web in less than one minute. At KatrinaVolunteers.blogspot.com, those who are volunteering and we who helped set up the site, can blog about our experiences and share anything that can be done to help in the Gulf Coast. I learned a lot from this experience and I will continue to help with the websites. I hope those who have visited our sites and have seen the videos also learned that there is a lot that still needs to be done in the Gulf Coast.

Thanks for Your Support,

Roxana
