Introductions (28 November 2004)

Post a brief introduction of yourself, focused on your RIT and web development background. What program and year are you in? When did you take 320, and with whom? What outside-of-class web development experience do you have? Why are you taking this course? What are you hoping to learn?

In the "URL" box, put a link to your IMM web page, or a personal web page that you've created. (Preferably with a photo of you!)

Wikipedia (29 November 2004)

This week I've asked you to read several articles from the Wikipedia. And as we discussed in class, every page on the Wikipedia site can be edited by any user--including you. How does that change your assessment of the site as a resource? Do you trust it more? Less?

This has been a lively topic recently in the "blogosphere," with several people running empirical tests of how quickly the site is "self-healing" when errors are introduced. Find some posts or articles written by others to support whatever position you take in your response.

Poke around a little on the site, too, and look for topics that you're knowledgeable about. Can you find anything wrong, or missing? Did you fix it?

CSS Zen Garden Critique (13 December 2004)

Go to the CSS Zen Garden web site, and look at a minimum of ten different designs. Pick one that you really like, and one that you don't, and post a comment here explaining why you selected the ones you did (provide the name as well as the template #, which appears in the URL).

You should work with at least one other person, but no more than two other people. You only need one comment here for your pair or trio, but all of your names should appear in it.
