Its only one update, it won't take long". Let's be serious. I have nothing incredibly important or insightful to say on a day to day basis, and when I do, I'm never sitting down at this computer. I digress. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;So this time, I want to tell you about me. Not because I think everyone should know about me, but because if you are here, you have seen my portfolio, and chances are you still don't know who I am.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I will be graduating from North Dakota State University (Go Bison) in a few weeks, with a degree in Business Administration and an emphasis in Marketing. My love for web design comes from within. Not just that cliche "within" that people say because they have heart or a passion for bright colors. I mean, I have never had any formal training in design tools, website design, HTML, CSS, or any other technical requirement that designers usually have. I am self taught. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The good part of being self taught is that I have had the opportunity to do it all. I know marketing strategies, advertising techniques, and a managerial business sense. On top of that, I have been able to extensively research design tools, learn from some of the best designers over the web, and practice these techniques with a grueling attention to detail at my own pace. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;But why do you need to know all of this about me? Because there are few people who can do it all... and I take pride in being one of them. I thrive in situations where I need to find the best design that fits a powerful brand. I love spending hours defining a user experience that enhances the client's ability to convert browsers to buyers. Further, I can provide solutions before is a problem. Its effectiveness, and I can't get enough of it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;So if you are reading this as a friend or relative, thank you. You have inspired me in one way or another, and I owe you much of what I am. If you are reading this as an employer, give me a chance to show you what I can do. Who knows, maybe together we can be the best in the world at something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until next time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8569345915394746783-3463260595322810133?l=cory-williamson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cory-williamson.blogspot.com/feeds/3463260595322810133/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8569345915394746783&amp;postID=3463260595322810133' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8569345915394746783/posts/default/3463260595322810133'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8569345915394746783/posts/default/3463260595322810133'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cory-williamson.blogspot.com/2008/11/i-thought-blogging-was-easy.html' title='I thought blogging was easy?'/><author><name>corywilliamson06</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06325749206278722585</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_Y_LbkHP4k_w/R9ddtllv86I/AAAAAAAAAAM/gjXErcLhJH0/S220/Summerfun.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569345915394746783.post-8252460095412996736</id><published>2008-03-11T22:12:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-03-11T22:42:29.664-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blog'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CW'/><title type='text'>New Blog - Simple yet satisfying</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:arial;" &gt;Welcome to my blog!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come in... sit down... take a look around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:arial;" &gt;Ok, by now you must know that I've never done this before but here's a list of things you can find here...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;li&gt;New technology and product reviews&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Software help and advice&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Polls and contests&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cool websites that caught my eye (insert plug for my portfolio page)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Random videos and other online content you have to see&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Music, concerts, and random information&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:arial;" &gt;I will also try my hardest to keep this up to date as much as possible, so keep coming back. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:arial;" &gt;-CW&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8569345915394746783-8252460095412996736?l=cory-williamson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cory-williamson.blogspot.com/feeds/8252460095412996736/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8569345915394746783&amp;postID=8252460095412996736' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8569345915394746783/posts/default/8252460095412996736'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8569345915394746783/posts/default/8252460095412996736'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cory-williamson.blogspot.com/2008/03/new-blog-simple-yet-satisfying.html' title='New Blog - Simple yet satisfying'/><author><name>corywilliamson06</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06325749206278722585</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_Y_LbkHP4k_w/R9ddtllv86I/AAAAAAAAAAM/gjXErcLhJH0/S220/Summerfun.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
