Looking ahead for this week, I’m planning on meeting Anthony Tuesday to get our site unified hopefully and go over are grammar on it and then finishing up my pages Wednesday night. Have a very delicate balancing act at this point in the semester and haven’t been able to touch the website since our last milestone sadly. Finish line is just up ahead and I’ll muster the strength to cross it.
Website comments
Started give feed back for websites in the comment sections of milestones then saw Jessica just did it in one post, so feel that is a better way to go.
desegregation: The website you came out with is pretty good considering the huge setback you guys got hit with. Even that said the pictures you got I think fit really well and mesh with the site seamlessly. I like your next page buttons, they are better than the ones I made I’ll probably borrow the format for my own page. Good job.
Pumpkin: I really like all the visuals you guys got, I think that is for sure your guys’ strength with the website, I also like the color format, it’s simple but the orange lettering works. My really own suggestion is kinda a nitpick, the drop down menu “about the creators” is in it’s own row and it causing me some OCD pains. Great site.
Fracking: I really like the format and colors, every thing is easy to read and you get a good understanding on what is in every tab. My only question is there seems to be a lot of negative space on the right hand of the website, is that by design?
Railroaded: Good start again, my one nitpick is I think you should add “IL” after Springfield, in the header. You have it listed elsewhere but it couldn’t hurt with so many Springfield’s. Like even with Shays’ Rebellion the major battle happened at Springfield Massachusetts. Hard to comment to much more without it finished, I think the impact tab has a lot of potential to be where you put the conflict and conflict resolution narrative in. Good job so far.
Mile Stone #3
I sit in a lot of victory here at 3:30 am. I have successfully formatted the majority of my pages on the Shays’ website. Backstory and the write ups for the consequences for Shays’ Rebellion are completed. To be honest I might go back and reedit some of the back story pages, I have some good letters from Washington that would give further context, I just have to work them in proper. I’m considering adding a page for the 3/5 compromise as it comes up in the Constitution Ratification in Massachusetts and I haven’t added anything to life in 1787, I’m swaying between adding something to it and axing the page completely, I’m kinda submitting myself to feedback on that one. I am much more confident in my other pages under Consequences, they are all written in and I think touches on the most important aspects in the ratification of the constitution. I might play with the pictures a bit or maybe add more to my articles but at the moment I am happy that they are a very strong foundation with a narrative that follows all the way through the articles. I’ve also fully cited them, always fun. I do sit in defeat in figuring out how to change the color of the background of the website, though, my googlefu did not save me will have to ask my friend over the weekend.
Week of 10/30
Whoops, totally forgot to get this up earlier, been a busy bee again. Every time I feel like I am going to have a light week it turns into a mess of work that I’m trying to keep my neck above. I got a little more write ups done at the start of the week but not a whole lot more done. I plan on doing a little tonight but I am confident I will get a filled out website done before Thursday even if it means a few sleepless nights. It’s the time in the semester.
