Website Creation!

Over the past couple of weeks I have been anticipating learning how to create my own website. I am super excited because I think that having your own website can be a great way to represent yourself, show your skill with technology, communication with students/faculty/friends/staff, etc. I really like the way that links, posts, blogs, reference materials, pictures, graphics, logos, etc can all be easily manipulated and posted on this website. I also like the way that it all seems again, "user-friendly." Being user-friendly is not just about being simple. Its about having software that allows the user to perform specific actions easily without alot of previous knowledge,reading, or experience. All icons, removal tools, editing tools, etc are right there for easy reference. Over the past few years I have had numerous experiences with certain website programs that were not particularly this way. You had to search in ramdom folders to find what you were looking for, and ask questions in the help menu every 5 minutes. This website that we have learned to create through google was not only helpful but also FREE, AND FREE IS GOOD. In this particular website we will be putting a bio about ourselves, references to our resume and other information, resources and info about technology projects, curriculum resources, etc. I look forward to finishing my website and publishing it for everyone to see. I hope to be able to reference this website in future interviews, with students, as well as all other contacts in my English Department. YEAH FOR WEBSITES. 2 THUMBS UP!
