I feel my audience is not only my classmates and professor, but also any beginners looking to learn about creating websites.  It is also for anyone who wants to learn without all of the really technical jargon.  I think this purpose is keeping my website simple, because I want to explain some general ideas about website design in a simple way.  Translating the technical language that I had never heard before into words I could understand was a time consuming battle with a lot of trail and error.  I think I should more directly express my purpose on the homepage.

Layout seems to be going well.  Experience in Journalism and yearbook creation has definitely helped quite a bit.  The site does seem a bit generic and simple, but I like sites that are easy to navigate and ones that are not overwhelming.  I would imagine the layout agrees with what is expected, especially for someone with no experience.  I really need to begin focusing on content because I am far behind on this.

I think that learning how to build websites is very important in our world today.  Almost everything can be and is being done over the internet.  I am excited because I will be learning useful skills that I can take with me anywhere.  The textbooks do help with the planning, but I am afraid the technical portions of the project may become issues.

I have not done very much with website design.  I have tried creating my own websites, but I did not use any organization and quickly lost interest.  My only strength I feel is my ability to write and my quick ability to learn how different processes on computers.  I am also very creative.  I am sure the more I learn about creating websites that are interesting and appealing, the more fun it will become.  I also feel that it is a great asset to have in today's career world.
