More Examples of Writing
I have over 3 years experience writing for online and print publications, and as a result, I have developed a diverse portfolio of writing clips and articles. Below are a few Web sites that show off more of my experi-ence as a writer, as well as some of my professional design experience.

Personal Web site: http://www.siue.edu/~keagan. This Web site was designed using Dreamweaver, and showcases more of my articles and creative design experience.
Blog: http://kevineagan.blogspot.com. I consider blogging an extension of a journalist’s work, and I treat my blog as a way to get a more in-depth perspective on issues I’m already writing about. This blog showcases some of my writing over the years, including music and book reviews.
