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

Splash screens or pages are pages that display an image, often when something is loading. The page can include related links or information about the company or spot you are tying to get to. They are typically used to advertise a product, show what the user is loading, or give information that is only going to be needed once per visit. they are using by popping up when the user is waiting for anything to load, such as a video game.

Read this blog post by a teacher. I mean actually read it. Take it in. Think about it. And then, write about it. What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is. Do you agree or disagree with the writer?

 We read this in science yesterday and talked about it as well. I thought that it was really insightful. The teacher is trying to say that life and school is not suppose to be easy and that you have to work hard in both aspects to achieve what you want/ need. The author is also saying that we can quit to easily and need to stick with it and push through it. The "main event" is something that is not than the academics. Its the life problems that you are faced with and have to solve. The "main event" is becoming a better person. I would agree with the author, sometimes I quit to early, and so do other people. I agree with him saying that we need to stop the excuses and just get it done and get it done right.
