What is a website wireframe? Explain. If you don't know what it is, look it up. Find an image online to place on your blog that represents a website wireframe and how they work.


A website wireframe is a visual guide that represents the skeletal framework of a website. Wireframes are used to arrange the elements and they focus on the range of functions available. Wireframes help website builders organize things the way they want to and make it more efficient for the user to find the information they are looking for. They are important because it allows the builder to create the website without the interference of color, text, style, and font making it easier to build the blueprint for your website.

Finish this sentence "10 years from now I will be...."

10 years from now I will hopefully be a nurse or still continuing nursing school.  For a couple years now I've decided I want to go into neonatal nursing and hopefully study at the University of Kansas or Arkansas.

Tell me about your weekend. Go.

Friday night I went to Coachs for dinner with my family and afterwards I hung out with my friend Kayleigh and we made Rice Krispie treats.  Saturday day I went to my grandparents house then shopping with my mom.  Afterwards I went home and watched the KU game with my dad.  Saturday night I went over to my aunts to do my cousins hair for their daddy daughter dance at Lakewood Elementary.  Two are in 4th grade and the other one is in 5th grade.  Afterwards I went and babysat my friends siblings while their parents were at a party.  Sunday day I worked from 11-2 at Coachs. When I got home my dad and I watched the Duke St. Johns game.  Afterwards I did my homework then went to my grandparents for dinner.  We had meatloaf and mashed potatoes then for dessert we had lemon cake. Once I got home I finished up some homework then went to bed.

In my opinion, I feel kids these days are beyond spoiled. When I was younger kids were using flip phones and actually enjoying time outside when now they spend every day using their brand new I-Phone 6.  They also get just about anything they want when they want.  Its frustrating that this is what the world has come to but I guess that just goes to show how much times have changed. Unfortunately the way the world has changed almost feels like its trying to age the younger generations faster than it should.  Children in elementary school shouldn't have the luxury of having a phone in 3rd grade, that's way too early, but sadly that is what the social norm has become.  I wish kids could still enjoy their childhood instead of growing up way to fast.

What do you find the most confusing and frustrating part of web design and HTML code so far? What would make it easier? What don't you understand? What do you understand? Explain yourself.


The things I find most confusing about HTML coding is that there's so many different codes we need to know so it gets confusing trying to remember which one to use. We've practiced enough on a daily basis which makes it easier to remember which codes to use but it can still be confusing. I understand how to change the style, color, and font of the text along with bringing in pictures and making an ordered list. I'm still confused on making a link tag, a lot of time it still doesn't work when I do it the first time. For the most part I find that the more I practice all the codes they're easier to use.

Tell me all about your 3 day weekend! Share photos.


On Friday I went to Coach's for dinner with my friend Camille then afterwards we went to the boys basketball game. We left at half and went to Sonic to get some ice cream then just hung out. Saturday day I laid in bed because I woke up with an awful cold. I spent most of the day watching two seasons of Greys Anatomy on Netflix. Saturday night we went to my aunts house for dinner and to watch the KU game. Sunday day I also spent most of it in bed because my cold had gotten even worse so I watched lots of movies on Netflix. I watched Mean Girls, Step Up, and Freaky Friday. Sunday night I hung out with my mom and watched the football games, unfortunately the teams we wanted to win didn't. After the games we watched some movies that were on TV; The Proposal, Pitch Perfect, and The Blind Side. Monday day I went shopping with my mom for some new clothes and stuff for my room. Monday night I hung out with my dad and watched some KU basketball.

Tell me a little bit about yourself and your life here at BVHS. What activities or clubs are you involved in? What year are you in school? What is your favorite class and/or teacher so far this year? What are you looking forward to this school year? Include some original photos from your phone if you can.

I am currently a Junior at Blue Valley High School. Here I am involved in Girls Golf, Basketball, and a variety of clubs. I have been on the Varsity Girls golf team for 3 years, I played basketball my freshmen and sophomore year and this year I decided to manage for the freshmen team instead of playing. I joined Prom Committee this year and I have loved being a part of it. My favorite class this year is probably Chemistry. I love doing experiments and learning about different chemical reactions, I also really like my teacher Mr. Mann. This school year I'm looking forward to improving my GPA and getting involved in even more clubs. I want to make these last years at Blue Valley ones to remember.

What are your thoughts on this class so far? Easy? Hard? Informative? Frustrating? What have you learned so far? What do you want to learn? Explain yourself.

So far I have really enjoyed this class.  As of right now its been fairly easy but I'm sure as we move farther into the semester it will become more difficult.  I have learned a lot about Google chrome, blogger, Codecademy, and about the computer and all its functions.  I would love to go even farther in depth with blogger and other features because I really enjoy it.  I would also like to learn even more about coding because I know later on in life I will probably have to use HTML at some time or another.  I am very excited about taking this class and improving my technology skills throughout the semester.

Tell me about your weekend. What did you do? Upload a photo to your Google Drive and then insert the photo (or photos!) to your blog post to show me what all you did.

Friday night the Freshmen girls team had a game at Blue Valley Northwest.  I'm a manager for the Black Team (Sophomore), unfortunately they lost their game by a few points. The Gold Team (Freshmen) played afterwards and they were able to pull through with a win.  Saturday day I went to my grandparents house and help them take down Christmas decorations and visited with them for a while. Saturday night I went to work from 5-11. I work at Coach's on 135th and Antioch, they were fairly busy throughout the night due to all the football and basketball games being played but eventually it slowed down. Sunday day I went shopping with my mom and bought a new pair of converse and a sweetheart dress. Sunday night we went to my aunts house for my cousins 11th birthday party with the family.  We all watched the football game that was on and had cake and ice cream to celebrate.

Read this small newspaper clipping and then write a blog post about it. What are your thoughts? How does it make you feel? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.

I believe that this is a very accurate statement.  Many teenagers come home from school everyday, complete their homework, then sit around and do nothing. There are many options available that they can go do.  This newspaper clipping makes me glad to know that there are people out there that believe teenagers are spoiled and get exactly what they want without being taught real world things. You shouldn't have to be paid to mow the lawn or do other chores around the house.  Teenagers shouldn't expect to get everything they want when they want it. We shouldn't expect people to do everything for us. This is why I agree with the Judges statement about how we need to be motivated to do things for ourselves and the world without being told to.
