Blog Post of the Day 5/5

I think that this video is absolutely right in every way. I think that technology is taking over our lives and we are losing our human characteristics because we are fooled into thinking that we can display those same human characteristics and emotions through technology. We are losing time that we will never regain due to being trapped and entertained by technology. I think that if we were able to put down our phones or controllers and actually sit with your friends or loved ones, we would regain our human traits. Sure, technology is a great help and has made lives better in many ways. However, nothing will ever beat sitting around a fire with your best buddies and your loved ones just talking and taking in the moment. I feel that if more people would learn to appreciate those moments, technology wouldn't be so vital to our existence.

What is a 'splash page'? Look it up. Explain what they are and how they are used. Find an example of a splash page in Google Images. Save the image to your computer and then upload it to your blog post. Hint - see below.


A splash page is the page of a Web site that the visitor sees first before they continue to the main content.They are used to promote things or to inform the visitor what is necessary to view the rest of the site's content. The image below is an example of a splash page because Facebook requires the user to "sign in" in order to gain full access of the website.

Status update! Tell me where  you are at on your product website? Can you be finished by tomorrow at the end of the hour? Do you need more time? How much more time? Be honest and explain yourself.

I am around 7 pages into my website so far. I honestly don't think that I would be finished tomorrow because it would take some time to go back and link everything up.  I think there's a shot I may be able to finish at the end of the hour Wed. But for sure I could finish by Friday.

Welcome back! How was your Spring Break? Tell me all about it. You've been out of school for 10 days so I know you will have plenty to share. Make it good!


For Spring Break I went to Playa Del Carmen with my family and a bunch of friends from Blue Valley. My girlfriend Caroline also came with me. We stayed in the Iberostar Tucan resort which was an all inclusive resort with a lot of cool activities going on all the time. I spent a lot of time hanging out with my girlfriend and my buddies on the beach and going out to eat. There was also a night club on our resort that was extremely popular for a lot of the kids. The only bad thing about it was the fact that there was so many creepy mexicans there. Towards the end of Spring Break, we had to come back early because the Baseball team had to go down to Oklahoma to open our season against Bishop Kelley. Luckily, we took both games with scores of 7-4 and 22-10. The worst part about break was that I was never home. I got to sleep in my bed a total of 4 times the whole break. Overall it was a lot of fun, but I'm really glad I'm home. On the other hand though I'm not happy to be back at school. I just want to hurry up and graduate at this point.

Do you like the layout of this project? Have you benefited from your brainstorming sheet? Was it more helpful or annoying when starting to map out your website? Explain why.


Yeah the layout seems pretty cool. It will be interesting to see what other people come up with. My brainstorming sheet has helped give me an idea of what I am going to do. But other then just reminding me of what my content pages will be, it hasn't done much. It wasn't as helpful because I already knew how I had wanted to map out my site, but if you weren't sure then I could see how it may help.

Blog post of the Day 3/10

After reading below to see where you should be on your product website - are you caught up? What helps you stay caught up in class? Do you like having small checkpoints? Are you behind? If so, what are you going to do to get caught up?

I am caught up with our project so far. I say caught up because I always try to get done whatever Mrs. Scheuerman says we shold have done for that day. If I am able to finish early then I'll begin trying to work on something else that I know i will need to do for my website. I like the small checkpoints because It keeps me aware of what I need to be doing and keeps me on pace to finish my site.

What idea do you have that is going to make you product website different, unique or unlike anyone else? If you're answer is you don't know - it's time to start THINKING. Explain your idea.


I'm going to put in my own color scheme along with my own different spin. I'm going to add things about the company and what is different about our products.
