What are you doing for Thanksgiving? Do you have any traditions? Go in to detail about your plans for the 5 day weekend.

For Thanksgiving, I'm going to my grandparents to see them, along with my uncle and a few of our family friends. I'll be helping my grandma finish cooking because I'm the only other one in the family that knows how too. My family doesn't really have any traditions, we're a pretty simple family. Over the five day weekend, I plan on going to work on Wednesday, then go to see Slipknot and KoRn in concert with my friend Zach. On Black Friday I'll be going shopping with my friend Rhyan; we're moving in together in April and buying things for our new house. Saturday and Sunday I plan on working at my jobs and spending time with some friends.

Go out and look up a what all goes on a resume website. What can you find? Include an example image if possible.


It is advantageous for you to know how to design Web pages, or to have your own. An excellent way to do this while landing a job in the process, is by combining your job search with the creation of your own Web resume. Building your own resume website can help you stand out from the rest of your potential competition, especially in an economy like this. It shows your employers that you care about your reputation and that you're also good with technology, which is a highly desired trait. Keep it simple, make sure you post multiple ways to get into contact with you, make a good, professional looking design and don't overdo it.

Define 'User Experience'. What does it mean and how does it relate to web design?

User experience to me, means the experience a person has when going through websites or pages on the internet, or working with certain computer programs. For example, before I began taking this class, had had very little to no user experience,but now as I'm more than halfway through the semester, I feel I've got quite a lot more user experience. I can successfully code a well-working website, I can also work Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Notepad++

Consider the quote below. What exactly do you think it means and how does it relate to Web Design?

I think it means that something and look really nice, and be appealing to the eye, but if none of it works, the design in inherently flawed. A design is only as good as its structure is. It's comparative to tattooing; I can draw a fantastic tattoo, and it can be beautiful, but if it doesn't work with the other tattoos that are next to it, or doesn't fit in the space you've got, then you wasted all of your time for nothing and you've just got to start over.

Reflect on your learning this semester so far in this class. Think about the first day you walked in to this room until right now. What have you learned about Web Design? What have you learned beyond Web Design? Explain yourself.

When I first started in this class, I wasn't really looking forward to it. I've never been a big fan of technology courses and I was only taking it because I need the credit to graduate. Throughout the semester, I've actually begun to enjoy this class and have fun with the things we're learning. I know that being able to code a webpage and create a functional webpage could really come handy in the future if I decided to open my own shop or start co-owning the shop I'm already in.

Tell me about your weekend. Give me details and photos!

This weekend I worked at my shop. We had a $30 tattoo special so we were busy the entire day. Later that evening my boss and I left early to get everything set up for a party we were having. We had a live band playing, a large bonfire and it ended up being a lot of fun. I left around 2 or 3 in the morning, and went home to fall asleep. The next day, I worked with my horses and then went to see Ouija with my boyfriend.
