A Little Piece of Advice

A word of advice for next semester's incoming students from me would be to make sure you keep up with your homework because everything build on everything else so if you get behind on a homework assignment, you're sure to be behind in the next class. Coming from someone who registered, late for this class, catching up is not fun! But mostly, use your creative abilities to make each creative assignment your own and you will have so much fun seeing what you can do with your new computer skills!

Favorite Websites

Three of my favorite websites were Lisa's, Leslie's, and Peter's. I thought Lisa's was very well organized and infromative and they style she chose was very cute and made you want to keep looking at her pictures and what she had to say. Leslie's was very colorful and therefore intriguing because there was so much to look it, but it was also very simple and easy to navigate at the same time. I thought Peter's was the most creative because he took a different approach than anyone else and you can tell he spent a lot of time on it.

Visit My Website

Please visit my website at http://www.cs.trinity.edu/~ssteven1
To create this website, I used Expression Web because for some reason, it felt easier than Kompozer to me. I am most proud of my "Favorite Books" page because it is something I'm really passionate about and just generally excited to be able to share with the class and whoever looks at my website. I also think it's visually itneresting that I put the book covers on there because even though the old saying tells us not to, most people do judge books by their cover. If I could change something, I probably would have included more information about myself on my "Home" page becaue it seems a little too concise and perhaps doesn't give a good overall summary of my life. My biggest technical challenge was figuring out how to publish my website and few of the step by stepg problems to get my website to be visually organized exactly how I wanted it to be. I will show my site to my friends and family because most of their beautiful faces are on there in one picture or another and definitely my little brother because I know he will think it's very cool that there's a picture of him on the Internet. I think it might be beneficial to create a resume site in the future for easy access to a visually pleasing composure of my achievements and prerequisites.
