The Class Websites

I really enjoyed looking at everyone's websites and getting to know my classmates a little bit better. After looking at all of the sites, these are my three favorites:

1. I liked Jeanna Goodrich's websites. It was very creative (like always) and very artistic. It was fun to look at because it was different from everyone else's. It wasn't the usual website. I enjoyed it a lot.

2. I liked Ashley Conway's website. I liked on her home page how she made a photo collage of different pictures of her. It added a nice touch. I also enjoyed looking at her gallery and the different photographs that she has taken. It was neat.

3. I liked Luke Caldarera's website. First his site is very organized and so it made it easy to navigate. Also, there are lots of different pictures to look at which made it fun and interesting. I also enjoyed his travel section. It added a nice variation compared with other sites.

Overall I enjoyed making a website about myself. It was fun and it was interesting to learn how to make websites. Please follow the link below to look at my website:

HTML Codes

Although HTML codes are tedious and require lots of memorization and patience, it is still useful to understand how they work. Today there is sophisticated software, such as Expression Web or Dreamweaver, which alows web designers to create web pages without having to deal with HTML codes. Nevertheless it is still important for web designers to understand how HTML codes work in case there is a mistake or something wrong with the website. This way, the web designers can look at the HTML codes in order to figure out what is wrong or what is causing the problem. If they do not understand HTML codes, then it will be much more difficult to diagnose and fix the problems/errors that might occur while making web pages. Therefore understanding what HTML codes do and how they are used can be very useful. I know I am glad that I have learned how to use these codes. I had no idea what they were, but I think it will be useful for me in the future, and especially when we start to make our websites.

PPT Presentations

My two favorite presentations were by Meghan Appelbaum and Jeanna Goodrich. I really liked Meghan's topic--astronomy. I have always thought astronomy was very interesting and so I especially liked her presentation. Also, her design was good, I especially liked the background picture of the stars. Overall I think it was very nice. Jeanna's presentation was interesting because I didn't know much about the United States Postal Service. Also, her slides were very artistic and creative, which made it enjoyable to look at. I also liked her animated picture of her delivering mail--it was very creative. Good job girls!
