Okay, so this blog (although chronological) is not terribly linear. Today, I feel like discussing potential challenges to my creating a final website.
The first problem is that I am not very creative, and I have no eye for color and style. Thus, I fear the final look will be unimaginative, or, worse, tacky. I know we are supposed to respect certain parameters -- and I figure boring is safe. However, I can't even imagine where to put my blues and yellows (per the earlier post). Relatedly, I am can't even imagine what my "icon" will be.
The second problem is that I am totally inept with computers. I mean, I am trying to remain confident that I will eventually be able to create a web page with pretty pictures and navigation tools and tags and such -- I mean, I will try. But there is a good chance that I will have five totally boring web pages (note the minimum) that have the minimum graphic content. (Did I mention that I don't take pictures -- and have never "uploaded" digital pictures to a computer?)
The final problem (for now) is that I don't know how long I can keep talking about myself -- because eventually -- the topic of my quest to become a reference librarian -- is really a quest to talk nonstop about myself!
Thank you.

It seems you are going to focus on your personal experience rather than talking about "how to become reference librarian" in general. I think it's a good choice. It is hard to characterize a broad-topic with five web pages.
Although now you think you may not have much to talk. But finally, I believe you will find lots of things to write and communicate with others.
i think that Caimei brings up a good point - talk about things you know about.
as for other content in your pages like colors, fonts, etc., there are lots of other sites out there that may strike you as being interesting. one thing that i do for inspiration is look at other folks' sites and see what little features i think are neat. to be honest, i like your blog's template's look and i can see how i could apply some of those features in prospective projects (but just don't steal it!)
