Read THIS blog post by a teacher. I mean actually read it. Take it in. Think about it. And then, write about it. What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is.

I think what this teacher had to say is 100% accurate.  Students quit, especially now, because schools too hard, or because summer is only a few weeks away.  He is right though, we can't quit, we cant say no, and we all need to try harder.  The teacher is saying that instead of thinking you will magically get the grade you want in a class, you need to try and succeed.  The main event is to not quit.  Even outside of school you should always try your hardest even if it gets tough.

3 day weekend... how was it? Give me a good story or something funny that happened this weekend. Go

Over the three day weekend I spent most of my time getting ready for prom and hanging out with friends. Saturday started around 12 when I had to get motivated to start getting ready.  At 3 I got my hair done and then came home and got ready.  I was up till 7 am on Sunday so I spent most of Sunday in bed.  Around 8 I went over to my friend Camille s house for a bonfire with a couple of friends.  Then on Monday I took it easy, didn't really do much other than stay in bed and watch Netflix.

Do you agree or disagree with this statement. Elaborate on why you agree of disagree.
If images are on the internet they should be "free game".

I agree and disagree. I agree that people should be able to use them for a visual on projects and other things; but if there "free game" I don't think people should be able to claim them for their own.  Images are put on the internet by people who own them and they deserve to have the rights to them.  If people want to use that image for something I feel they should be able to but they have to cite the source and give credit to the owner.

I think my website turned out really well.  I know how to use HTML and CSS really well so I was able to do a lot with this website.  After looking at other peoples website I would've added some pictures and a little more color to mine. I really liked the image I had at the top with my name in it, I thought using Photoshop was a lot of fun and I'm able to do lots of cool things with it.  As I was went around and viewed other peoples websites I saw some things I did and didn't like at all.

Things I Liked

• Color Schemes 
• Navigation
• Images
• Text Style

Things I Didn't Like

• Not enough written about them
• Some people didn't take it seriously
• Colors didn't go well together
• Spelling error

Overall I really liked my website and the way it turned out.  I thought it looked professional and had a nice color scheme to it.  I think if someone wanted to learn more about me they easily could with the website I designed.  It wasn't overwhelming with random colors and words, it was very professional. I think websites vary by looks based on who might be viewing it and what the person is like.

What's the coolest thing you've learned in Web Design so far? Why is it so cool and how can it help you in the future?

I've enjoyed learning how to make my own website. I thought it was surprising how easy it was to code things and learn CSS.  I like how I'm able to design the website the way I want and personalize it to my liking. The other cool thing that I think we've done is creating this blog.  Its a fun way to share what I'm thinking and its nice being able to read other peoples and learn more about them.  These skills will help me in the future by allowing me to create a website for anything I may need and when having to deal with HTML I will know what to do.

Define 'User Experience'. What does it mean and how does it relate to web design? Explain yourself.

User Experience is the overall experience of a person using a product such as a website or computer application, especially in terms of how easy it is to use.  User experience typically focuses on understanding the user, and making it easier for the user to navigate the website.  It also takes into account the business goals and objectives of the group managing the project.  This relates to Web Design because when making a website you want it to be easy to navigate for anyone that might be using it.

What is a resume website? What do people put on resume websites. Spend about 5-10 minutes looking up resume websites and what they are used for. Explain what you find. Include an image of a resume website if possible.

The purpose of a resume website is to provide a summary of your skills, abilities, and accomplishments.  Things people put on their website is previous job information, education, awards and achievements, and hobbies or interests. Resume websites are looked at by future employers, professors in college, and for some people its a way to share their information with other people.
