Blog II: Design Your Website

For this blog post, you are to discuss what the type of website you would design. First, think about the layout and design of the website. Remember, webpages are really just documents containing interactive links. Take into mind the things we discussed in class about balance, alignment, contrast, consistency, and grouping. Once you have a design in your mind, write about the following: Give a summary of your website's purpose and its intended audience. Consider the needs, attitudes, and beliefs of your readers and write about that in your first paragraph. In the second paragraph, write about the political, economical, physical, and ethical components of your website. Please write two paragraphs for this blog. You are welcome to go over.

Blog I: Summer-A After a hard day of work, you decide to check your email and find a strange message in the inbox. It is from your boss, but it is not addressed to you. You and one of the other employers share the same name first initial and last name. The email reveals these words: To: [xxxxxxxx] (names blacked out to protect the presumably guilty) From: Your paid-the-cost-to-be-boss-boss@work.com Message: D., I could not resist typing this message to you. As I sat in this uncomfortable, sweat-shop-made chair from Office Max that does not swivel and has a missing wheel, I think of our time together last night. My fingers tremble as they push on the hollow-snapping plastic revealing my inner-most-after-lunch thoughts. I think about wrapping my arms around your waist and holding you tightly, smelling the aloe and passion flower extract in your hair. I dream of the day you and I are together. Do not worry about her; the ol’ battle-axe will soon be take care of and out of our lives—forever. Together, you and I, will take on this endless stack of typed ennui and throw it all in the trash. Forget recycling; the best way is too start new and trash it all. Together, you and I will take leave of this paper-clipped life full of stale, burnt coffee full of grounds, ungrateful gossipers and be happy. I love you because I would not be writing in this flowerly language if it did not excite you. Trust me, I could say love in two sentences, but since words mean so much to you, well, here they are full of meaningless metaphors steeped with my own amorous feelings. Only you can make me try this hard. I will see you tonight at the usual place. Truly yours, A. P.S. If you could please put the staple in the right-hand corner for those reports, it would be great ;-) It appears you stumbled on an email revealing an affair. Keeping quiet might make you an accessory. In a two-paragraph response, discuss what you would do in this situation. Discuss the consequences of exposing your boss or keeping quiet in your response. I wish you the best of luck with your first blog post.
