Google analytics updates!
When I started to use a blog for computer class, I also signed up for Google Analytics, which is a really cool application offered by Google that allows you to see who, when, where and for how long someone visits your blog. At the beginning I had only a couple visits, probably like 2 or 3, because my blog was new and nothing was posted on it. But once I started posting pictures and adding new posts, by the end of the week my visits when up by 10! On April 26th my visits suddenly when up really high and I almost had ten visits per day. Also something that changed was the location of where the people actually visited my blog. So right now in my Google Analytics shows that my current visits are 44, the page views are 57, the bounce rate is 86.36%, the average time that people spend on my blog is 49 seconds and I have a 34.09% of new visits. In the map that shows the states were the visits come from, it shows that my visits are from New York, Vermont, and Massachusetts.

Wild assignment!
This was quite a crazy assignment! We had to make the trees look like cheetah and tiger skin. It wasn't really hard, though there were many steps to follow so it made it kind of hard to do everything right at the first shot. The tools I used were the pen tool and the levels of opacity and the eraser to eliminate the extra texture i placed on the trees! so check it out!

Vector Mask
Today assignment was to merge 3 pictures, I didn't think it was going to be that hard, because to make it easy there was the vector mask option. this is in the layer palette, and basically we added another layer to each layer we already had, then with the gradient tool, using the black and white one, we merged every end of the pictures. We can use this photoshop experience if we ever have to create a big image with many pictures in it.
