Chap 15

Chapter 15 was interesting. Didn't enjoy going over E-Learning again though. Just not very applicable to my likes, but who knows, maybe I'll use it in the future. One thing that really stood out to me in this chapter was the writers and developers roll. currently in my newly formed, small game company, I'm both! So reading about responsibilities along with the expected challenges I'll face was great. Gave me ideas of how to face those challenges.

Chapter 11

This chapter was a bit technical. There were a few things that i didn't previously know how to do. One thing i hadn't thought about before was the fact that today, our websites are more customizable than ever before. This is good because people like to personalize things and make unique content for there page. The chapter was only a few pages long, but i did glean some usable info from it.

blog on chapter 10

Chapter 10 gave me a lot of applicable insight on website layout and effective keywording. My buddy that I’m making the game company “Bluegg” with needs to see this chapter. I highlighted a lot in the Keyword paragraph. I knew having good keywords was important, but just didn’t know how to make them work for me. This chapter gave me some focus on the subject.

The other thing I got from the chapter was the list in what to have on your web page layout. I can’t list the items now because I’m at school without my textbook, but I know I highlighted that list to use later and show it to Leighton.

I read over both chapters 7 & 8 this morning and found a lot of useful information in regards to the web site we're working on. I used some of the layout/introductory info in my proposal assignment that's due Friday. Lot's of stuff we've done in this class already has inspired me to take projects outside of the class and test principles I've learned in the real world. I think that is a means of measuring a class's worth. If a class motivates you to take its principles and incorporate them in your life outside of college, then it's a success. I've started a small partnership project from principles learned here already and it's only the fourth week.
