Emerging Technology 2

For my second emerging technology assignment I decided to do Scrapblogging. I love to scrapbook in my spare time so I thought that I could really get into this website. Scrapblog.com was very fun for me. It was a lot easier than doing the hand-made scrapbooks, but just as fun. I have done something very similar to this website, but the other one was called Snapfish. They were both very similar to eachother and I really enjoyed messing around with this website.

1. Scrapblog.com is a website lets you make a scrapbook without using glue!!!! You choose the background and pictures and then insert from there.

2. This online verison of scrapbooking takes a little less time than it would take to do a handmade scrapbook. This way could even be a little cheaper for whoever is scrapbooking. You do not have to mess with going to the store and getting all the different supplies and printing all of the pictures. Everything you need to make a memorable scrapbook is offered through the website.

3. The website is very user-friendly. I was able to sign up in a matter of seconds and start my scrapbook right away. It gave options for pages that already had a strict layout or one that was blank so you could start from scratch yourself. Its even good because you can take pictures from anywhere off the net (faceook,myspace, photobucket and many more) if you did not have axcess to the original picture. I felt like this website had so many different backgrounds to choose from and things that would make it unique. I like it just as much as snapfish and maybe even a little more!

4. Here is my small portion of scrapblog.com!

5. I did not have any troubles when trying to use this website. For the most part, everything was pretty easy to figure out. I would suggest organizing your pictures because there are themed backgrouds that could make it easier to help you speed up your process. I would also suggest taking your time looking through all of the options! There are so many different things that you can do to make your scrapbook be unique. I would also suggest taking the time to look through everything before you get started. There are so many options to pick from! I took my pictures and did some editing on picknik (an online site that allows you to add words and fun stuff to your picutres to make them look cute). I thought that it made my pages better. Take your time and have fun with this site! :)
