Gbridge1987’s Weblog

     I think that I am getting more comfortable with the content and the ideas that I want to execute for this website. I have gone to the comp. lab multiple times this week to give myself more time to sit down and play around with the programs and find a more organized and appealing layout for my website. As I get more familiar with the programs I am getting more comfortable with making the webiste. Also, as my website progresses I am collecting more information from outside sources to help add more text to my website. I am also thinking about adding a testimonal page to my website so that IPC majors can get an idea of what kinds of opportunities will be available to them upon graduation. I gave my presentation in class today and explained to my classmates what my plans are for designing my website and what my purpose for making the website is. I got some good feedback from some of my group members and I’m sure that there will also be good feedback on my discussion board that will help me in making my website better.

     On a side note I am excited because my birthday is this weekend and I will be turning 21

      As we are continuing to progress with this assignment, I am excited at the prospect of being able to produce a substantial website. However, I am finding it difficult take the image in my head that I have of making this website and transferring it onto paper, then transferring it a third time into Dreamweaver. I think that my apprehensions about my inexperience in photoshop and dreamweaver are stifiling my progress. I will take your suggestions from class today and make a more prioritized list of what steps I need to take to complete my website. Hopefully this well help me not feel so overwhelmed and it will allow me to make progress a little at a time and that way as I am adding all the different parts the outcome will be a more complete webiste.

     This week in class we began our student presentations. Our classmates present what they chose to do for their web porfolio/website projects and then give us insight as to what their final product will look like. They give us detailed information about their plans for the project and then when they are done we have time for discussion. I think so far the discussion sessions have gone very well.  Our classmates are given good feedback as to how they can improve their project plans and they are also given compliments for good ideas. I think this has been very helpful for people to get feedback as they go through this develoment process with their presentation. I am looking forward to my presentation day to get some outside opinion about my website.
