From RhetorClick

My name is Blake Ginther. My whole life I have been obsessed with magazines, which influenced me to start at St. Edward's University as a graphic design major. Within my first semester I discovered I was not made to be a graphic design major. Luckily, I read about the English Writing and Rhetoric major and fell in love. Currently I am in my last real semester at St. Edward's (I have one course to take over summer), and I graduate in August. I have always loved writing academic papers (does that make me a nerd? haha), and I love rhetoric. After graduation I hope to work in advertising. At least that's my plan for right now. I frequently change directions.

Contributions:

Started Biographies page, but then created Authors page to put biographies and list works under each author. Linked the author's page to their article summary. I added some (most?) of the biographies (biographies, awards, education, etc.) and most of the further readings listed on the authors' pages. I think I did most of the further readings that link to google books or other websites. After I finished my work on them, I got Chelsea's email about replacing the author pages with their pages that already exist on Wikipedia. As of now, I'm not sure if she will delete the ones I've worked on.

I also did some housekeeping work and rearranged the author pages. Someone else created the contents and separated the sections on the individual pages, but I went through and moved the Biographies underneath the "Biography" header.

Created pages for article summaries for articles we read 3/22 and after.
