finally!!

hey guys, sorry for the HUGE inconvenient delay. I was finally able to upload enough of the site for you to see what I'm going for, although, its definitely still a work in progress. I did it on yahoo sitebuilder, totally from scratch, (I lost all my previous edited files when I lost my external hard drive), and sans templates. On weebly, I was frustrated about the tabs issue that I think Jennings is experiencing, and I didn't like how I couldn't make a link to another page out of an image or text. Or layer elements. As of now only the first two galleries are operable, there's nothing under 'upcoming,' and I still need to edit my resume quite a bit. I would really like to know if it navigates well, and if its simple and professional enough.

I have had a chance to see all of your websites, and I will be posting comments tonight!
Thank you all again for your patience!

reminder - your blogs

This week marks the half-way point of the term.  That means that everyone should have 4 posts on their blogs by now, and at the end of the term a total of 8.  I will not likely assign specific topics for these posts again, so please make sure to stay on top of your writing!

I'm getting there...

Hey guys, I apologize, but due to some outside circumstances, (and the fact that I started on weebly, then realized it wasn't doing all I wanted it to, so I decided to stay with the original program I had) I'm lagging on having my new website ready, :( but I'll have it all caught up this weekend. Thanks for your understanding and patience!!

Jennings' website

Each student should add the link to their work as a new post.

This way, all of the critique comments for each person will be consolidated as a single thread of responses to each posting.



I'm copying Jennings' link here (which she originally had as a response to my original announcement for online crit).



Please reply to this post to critique her work.



Hope this is clear!

Hey, Hey, Hey, Classmates, here is a link to my new and (what I think is) improved website.

http://www.jenningssheffield.com

Let me know your likes, dislikes, advice, comments, thoughts, and rants.

next up: online critique

Now let's take a hiatus from the reading and save chapter 3 for later.

We will try this online forum for critique of your works-in-progress.

Create a new post on the class blog with a link to your project by 6pm Wednesday October 13.  (Could be the website many of you mentioned wanting to make, or your new video on vimeo or youtube, etc.)

Use our class time to respond to each student's posting with initial critique comments by 9pm Wednesday October 13.

Discussion/defense/response/etc may ensue through 6pm Monday October 18.  Comment a minimum of 4 times total to your own and other's critique discussion thread.


We will meet as a class for the first time on Wednesday October 20!
I look forward to talking with everyone about how the class has been as an online forum.
