Text
Here is a link to a really interesting site where they use words to create some very powerful pictures. http://designm.ag/inspiration/text-art/. Text can literally be used to create pictures, which is what text does in a more abstract sense. It is through text whether it is a poem, instructions, a narrative, or just a name- the reader creates a picture from interacting with the text.

Introductions
Hi: My name is Bev. I am currently on leave from my job teaching math in a jr/sr high in a small rural school in southern Alberta. This is one of my 5th , 6th and 7th courses. I am fascinated by the topic- so expect this will be a rewarding course. I have been travelling in Peru for the last month as so am a bit behind!! I look forward to working with you all.

New Look
Hi everyone,
I’ve activated a different theme/skin for the weblog as there were a couple of limitations on how the previous theme was presenting content, both in the tag-cloud (a long list) and on category pages (without the images). I hope that this is not to unsettling for anyone!
Does anyone have any suggestions for the top-banner image that we should use for the weblog? Perhaps there is something in the Creative Commons archive that will work. The columns in this theme are narrower than was the case with the last one. This can be annoying with larger images, but you can also resize them using the editing window that comes up when you are making your post.
Cheers,
Jeff
