I thought class this past Monday was really helpful to me in terms of critically thinking about the kind of message I want to send through my site via typography and layout. I felt like the exercise we all did in photoshop was particularly helpful and really gave me some good ideas on how [...]

Okay, well I have been trying to figure out how to convert my word document to a pdf and I found a website that let me do it. If anyone is interested and doesn’t already know about the site it’s: Convert MS Word files to Adobe Acrobat files
At first I really wasn’t excited about [...]

I read each of the readings this week with an eye for application to me and my creating my own site.
The Wroblewski site was interesting and maybe a little more technical than I can fully comprehend in so far as how I can apply his strategy to my site. Way back in [...]

Alright so I’ve been using my made Paint skills and have produced a site map. I’m still trying to figure out how to do a wireframe in Word. I guess I’m supposed to use the table function, but it’s proving more difficult than I thought it would be… could be just that I’m [...]

Okay, so again, here is the link to my site thus far: Classical Architecture as History, 1790-1943. I REALLY liked the colors that were used in making this dark theme because I thought it would make the detail, colors, etc. in my images stand out, which would be why I chose to use this [...]

With Jeremy’s help I finally got my Omeka stuff up on the server and I’m currently playing around with themese and gauging what it’s going to take to write my own theme. I’m pretty excited now because I think I might actually be able to figure this all out and have fun with it [...]

Another fear I’m having right now is that everything in class makes sense, but then what happens when I’m on my own and at home…. That would be what happened when I attempted to upload Omeka to my server….. Thank God we’re having those weekly help sessions because I think I’m going to be [...]
Strategy for my site and readings
Posted in Uncategorized on March 2, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I’ve been critically thinking about personal deadlines for my site and have been laying things out. The only problem is that I think I would feel a lot better if I got my Omeka stuff up and running on the server. No worries, I will hopefully have this all figured out before class [...]
