week 15 blog

Throughout the semester i have only missed two days this year, when i missed those days i made sure that you knew ahead of time and that i completed any work that needed to be done. I have also completed all of my blog postings and had them submitted on time. I have never had any late assignments and i have always given one hundred percent all of my works. I have also tried to participate in class when I had something to contribute. All of these are reasons as to why I think I deserve an A in this course. I already have and 88.something and I have been spending many hours trying to make my final portfolio look professional and trying to keep everything moving along smoothly with our group project. I had to take 20 credit hours this semester in order to stay on track to graduate next Christmas, and it has been difficult finding time to complete all of my assignments on time and have them be grammatically presentable, but I think I have done an alright job of this which is why I feel that an a would be an appropriate grade for me. I do not feel that all of my works are A+ material and that they were the best writings in the world, but I do feel that I put as much effort into them as I was really able to. Whatever my grade ends up being, I feel that this has been an educational and enlightening course.

week 14 blog

I already have the general layout of my portfolio finished. I set it up so that my blog postings are all on one page, but I thought it would look weird if I were to put three drafts of the same essay on one page, so I put all of the different drafts on separate subpages. I chose this form because I thought it looked the most used friendly, and it seemed like the type of layout I would want someone else to use if I were looking at a website similar to this. I thought it would make it a hassle to have to click on a separate page for each one of my blog postings so that is why I chose to put them all under one page. I decided to keep the website clean and simple, using a dark gray background with white font and blue font for the titles; I also plan on incorporating more pictures when it is appropriate. I really haven’t thought a lot about how I am going to make my portfolio more personal, but an “about me” page does sound like a good way to do that, I could bring in pictures of me and things that represent me and write about them.
