Blog #3-My website creation

I have no idea what my site will be like. Ultimately, I would like to have just a little bit about myself (things I like to do, websites I like to surf), a link to OSU (since I will be a student for at least two and a half more years), a link to to my sorority and a link if I can find it to my favorite group 112. I don't have a particular design in mind yet. I want my target audience to be lovers of the sites that I have. If you are not, then it would be great information for you so you will turn into a lover. I don't want my content to be overwhelming.

My biggest challenge right now is remembering what we did last week and applying it to future classes. For example, I just put the name of the site in my introduction and it took you to that site (without the http). In the second blog I could not remember how to do that so I had to add the http to get to the site.

I do want to figure out how to put up some flashing prompts. Just one or two. If you put too many of them it will be too distracting.

Blog #2-Links

I have a few websites that I love to navigate. The first on is a discussion board on http://archwired.com. It is a message board where people go to discuss the trials and tribulations of getting braces. I will have to make that journey in about three weeks. I just joined a couple of weeks ago but it is a very informative site. The only thing I don't like about this site is the front page. The text is kind of small. They don't have too many pictures on the site but they could use a few more.

The next site I love to navigate is http://stuff4greeks.com. It is a site where people in sororities and fraternities can purchase merchandise and have it customized. The layout of this site is perfect to me. They have a photo gallery section where it seems like the photos are digital. All the pictures are crystal clear. It is set up like a book and you can just click the page number and go to that image. All the other navigation keys are on one side of the site and they have pictures to correspond to the section you are going to enter.

The last site is http://blackexpressions.com. It is a book club that has a lot of African American fiction and history books. I like that they have a picture of the cover of the book under the name instead of just listing the name but on the other hand it makes the site look a little crowded. The layout is has the type of books on the side and when you click on one that book type appears in the middle of the page. I think that they could have used the space on the side instead of putting ads there.

Blog #1-Introduction


It's me again, here in Fawn's class for a third time! I guess a third times a charm, right? I am considered a senior in the Techincal Education and Training program here at OSU. I hope that I only have a few more quarters until graduation day. Then I hope I am admitted to the Workforce and Development Masters Program here. I know I have said this before but this is all new to me. I have been to several sites but I have never created a site of my own but I do have a page on facebook. I don't know yet to what extent I will be using websites once I get out into the professional world of training.



The picture you see to above is of my sorority Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. I love it to death. I work very hard especially with my sisters servicing the community. If you want to learn more about this wonderful organization click on the name above! Last but definitely not least I have to mention the best singing group ever....112! I love them so much!!!!!!!!!!!! Here are a couple of pictures of these wonderfully talented men from the ATL!
