About my Blog!

About Me; Hey! My name is Lin. I'm from Montgomery, New Jersey and I'm currently a freshmen at Penn State University. Since I live in such a small, strictly suburban town, there really wasn't much to do besides sports and academics. Therefore, my hobbies, besides academics and school related clubs, throughout highschool were rowing crew and hanging out with my friends on Princeton's infamous Nassau Street where I adopted the hobby of photography. Now, I take pictures of almost everything and I can't wait to start on Penn State's beautiful campus. WE ARE

Template; Since I'm new to the blogging world, I decided to choose an already made template from Blogger.com, and this specific one caught my eye. This is mostly due to the facts that 1)it was the only pink one & 2)I'm a girl, so the choice was pretty obvious in my opinion. I also wanted my very first blog to look welcoming and warm to any visitors so I thought this specific template accomplished just that.

Title; I was actually wearing a t-shirt that I had gotten from the university bookstore that says 'STATE' when I was creating this blog so it definitely influenced the title. I'm not a very creative person when it comes to names so I decided to choose the name Art STATE just to point out its two most important facts; 1)that it's a blog about the arts and 2)it's about the arts at Penn STATE. Simple and straight to the point.

Color; As I've mentioned before, I wanted to make this blog very welcoming and warm, so what's more welcoming than pink?! The hue definitely attracts my eye. :)  

Font; I chose the font 'courier' mostly beacuse I enjoy how official it looks without seeming boring. It kind of reminds me of newspaper font so it was a no-brainer for my very first blog entry.
