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.

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.
