Today We Have Observers November 5, 2007

Once again, just because you can do it doesn’t mean that you should do it. There are so many people who can make a web page but often the page comes out immature and unaccessible because they do not know how to make the page usable by their audience.
Take care with what type face [...]

Reading Got You Down? October 22, 2007

Getting back work that I turn in always makes me nervous. I just want to know what I have gotten and I want to have done well. I do not deal well with anticipation!
Missing a class was detrimental. I don’t know exactly what is going on and it bothers me. I hate my migraines, they [...]

Today I am Daring to Wear Red Pants October 15, 2007

I have decided that I like to read and then write about what I read later, as we go over it in class. Notes are ok but I don’t know that I get as much out of them doing it that way because I am going back and forth all the time. I will see [...]

Let’s Get Back on the Bus October 10, 2007

The possibility of putting our portfolios up on the web is exciting. I would love to be able to have this available for the future. I am sure that I will have to change the server or something to continue using the site and updating it. That would be pretty sweet.
I failed to read for [...]

The Next Assignment is Shorter October 1, 2007

This is the design for the 405 website and simply a template. You can do anything that you wish and [...]

Week One, Day Two September 26, 2007

What is the coolest web site that you know? I like my comic sites and suggested somethingpositive.net in class. However, upon further consideration I think that joecartoon.com is cooler. Mostly because there are games and more to click on and I am amused by it. Thank goodness for these people I am easily amused.
Machiatos are [...]

These Will Probably Happen Twice a Week September 24, 2007

Today is national punctuation day, woot! Yea, perhaps you aren’t as excited as I am unless you are a silly English major with a short attention span.
Remember Taylor Mali because I am probably going to want to show Josh, he likes spoken word.
The formality of web writing is difficult to understand. You have to separate [...]

Notes Week One September 24, 2007

Now to the actual use of the blog, notes for class. Hopefully I will continue to use the page long after this is done but if not at least my genius will survive….until the page is deleted!
Writing for a Web Audience
- They aren’t going to read everything
- Your audience likes summaries
- About 75% of text [...]
