Workday!
First things, first... we will go over the Pop Quiz from Tuesday.
We will also spend some time working on project 2, writing for the Web. This is what you will need to do:
1) Choose one of the links below
http://www.cs.umn.edu/
http://www.celebrateourlives.com/
http://www.analysts.com/pages/SupplementalStaffing.aspx
http://www.bostonscientific.com/
http://west.thomson.com/westlaw/default.aspx
Or if you have an example of a really bad web site that you would like to work on, let me know and we can check it out together.
2) Next work on editing the text down to it's essentials. Remember people don't do a lot of reading on the web, they scan (more about this in chapter 5 of Don't Make Me Think).
3) If you have time left over, take another swing at your journal Web site. I would like you to update your site by Thursday, February 8th.
4) Finally, if you haven't already done so, please email me the address to your journal so I can link it off this blog.
For next week:
1) Finish your "Writing for the Web" exercise for Tuesday. Be ready to show your work with both a before and after version of the site.
2) Edits to your journal site need to be done by Thursday of next week (2-8-07)
