I was thinking that at the beginning of the project that building a cardboard chair is impossible. I thought that it would be a failure because the entire structure would collapse. But this website proved me wrong by showing that

Wordle Reflection

This blogging experience was very fun. I learned allot and I tried blogging for the very first time. I like that you can post whatever. You have no restrictions. It is your blog and you can post whatever you want without feeling that you have insulted anyone. It is your personal wall. I feel that the blog is just all your feelings on a web page and not in a diary book.Blogging has made things allot easier for me and my peers. I also believe that blogging has become one of the top most popular trending social networking tools. I think that facebook and twitter need to make room for blogger.com because they are on the rise.

Good & Bad Design

I learned that designing your web page is not very difficult.You shouldn't try to follow the guide to dorky web pages, because you will look the same as everyone else. You should not have blinking or flashing animations, because that serves as a major distraction and makes the page difficult to read. You should also make sure the text is big enough to read. But don't have it too small to where the reader has to fix screen resolution.You should also stay away from dull black or gray background. You should have something that makes your blog different but do not have nothing that makes it hard to read. You should also have links that are color coordinating with the page layout and the colors. You should also make sure your web page loads quickly. Make sure it fits into the standard 800x600 pixel space. You should also make sure all your web pages looks like it belongs to the same site. After reading these tips on good and bad web design I did a little tweaking to my page. I got rid of the regular blue link colors and changed my background, I felt that it looked too uniform.

Glider Project Summary

The Glider project was very informative as well fun. I learned a lot about gliders from attempting to do this project. I learned about all the different components that make up a glider. I learned that the elevator is the "steering wheel" of thew glider, it is in the back of the glider. It rotates to steer the glider. The rudder is the part of the glider that that keeps the glider stable and doesn't let it ride rough, this provides a straight flight. I also learned that it takes hard work and patience to build a glider. When I was constructing my glider I was thinking that it was a piece of cake. But as I started to build, I was starting to realize that it was more difficult and time consuming as I thought. The first original glider was constructed by the Wright brothers in the 1900s. As a whole I enjoyed the glider project, it opened my eyes because I had never tried or even been interested in building a glider. Now I look back on the event and I see that it was an overall good experience.

All About blogging

What I learned about blogging? I learn that setting up a blogging account takes less than five minutes. I learned that blogger was launched in 1999.Blogging is also becoming a huge trend among the internet. Blogs can also be referenced to as personal diary for all your thoughts and emotions. You can also use a blog as a social networking to communicate with friends. You can also post news and breaking events in your community. You can also post your blogs in all different colors, shapes and sizes. In plain terms a blog is your personal page where you can post whatever you feel. Its your personal space, post whatever.
