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.

The product that I choose to do was barbies. I think parts of my website look really cool, like the rollover links. As for finishing tomorrow, there is a possibility that I might finish. However, I would have to work super hard both days and then get a bit lucky. It would be more beneficial to have the block day to work to add more to the website and improve it.

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 didn't do that much. The whole break main consisted of sitting on my coach and watching T.V. However, for a volleyball tournament, I went to Brandon, and while we were there we stayed an extra day just to go do stuff. My favorite thing that we did was a maze of mirrors. It was really fun but really confusing at the same time because you would see ten of the same person and then sometimes these figures would pop out in front of you. We also went to a go-karting place and rode around on them for awhile. The next weekend I had another tournament, and that was fun because we ended up taking first overall.

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.

So far, I think what I have is coming together pretty well and will look cool once the pictures are in the place that I want them to be in. So far the brainstorming sheet has not help me a lot, mainly because I almost memorized the whole thing, and don't need the sheet for reference. However, I still think it was helpful because I was able to organize my thoughts on the paper and ion my brain and get to know the layout of the site a bit better that I would have without the sheet.

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?

Yes I am caught up. I have everything that was on the completed list finished. The best thing that help me stay caught up is giving something little to do each day, so then I won't have a day where I don't know what to do so then I just sit there. That said, it means that I do like the small checkpoints and to have them each day. I am not behind yet, but in the future since I have a complex website coming I am worried that I might get behind.

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.

The main thing I am hoping that will make my website different is the display of all the items. I am visualizing to have the front side of the product, but then when you rollover the picture it will change to the back.I am aware that the topic isn't that original, but with the pictures I am also hoping to take my own pictures. Other than that I don't have a bunch of other great ideas, but I think what I have so far is good.

What product have you decided to feature/sell on your product website? Explain why you've chosen this product and remember, the sky is the limit on this project!

The product that I choose was barbies. The main reason is because I wanted something fun and from my childhood, and that is what I thought of. When I was little I would play with them almost everyday, so it just fit. I also thought it was creative and many ideas can spring off of the topic. I am hoping that the site will incorporate the ideas that I have into it really well.
