Websites

I never thought that I would be able to make my own website, but thanks to the help of Microsoft Expression Web, I did! Watching everyone present their websites was a really neat experience because you could tell how hard we all worked. My three favorite websites were created by Cole, Tasha, and Anna. Cole's design was truly amazing. His choice to use the really cool typewriters against the black background with red accented keys was genius! Tasha also did a great job on her website. I loved the three pictures on the front page flipping from one to the next as a gif. What a great idea! It's amazing that she was able to save up and then travel the way she did before coming to Trinity. And I'm certainly glad she added a link to the website that helps find cheaper travel. Anna's website is on my list of favorites because it was so pretty. Even though it was done on iWeb and didn't convert over too well during the presentation, she did a really nice job creating it. I love that she was able to put up so many picture albums and share them with us. Her other pages, such as favorite foods page, were so pretty to look at that even if I didn't like something on there before, I probably liked it after looking at it on that site. 

Everyone in the class did such an amazing job on their websites! Feel free to look at my Website!

Advice for New Students

The best advice I could pass to any incoming computer student is to always do your work as soon as possible. It's surprisingly easy to lose chunks of your grade for small details, so make sure to stay on top of all your work. If you have a Mac, like I do, you're going to want to get as much work done in class as possible. Mac computers have sumilar applications to the ones we use in class, but the functions are not the exact same. If you make sure all your assignments are done in time, attend class, pay attention in class and possibly even take notes, you'll do great, and really learn a lot. I was impressed at the amount of computer knowledge I gained this semester alone. Good luck and enjoy!
