Just wanted to touch on a few topics raised in the first lecture… I know that this post is a little overdue, but hey, I live a busy life! First of all, I quite enjoy not having to wake up at 7am on a Monday morning in order to make the 9:30am screening or lecture, [...]

How much is too much?

My main question with the Hypertext Essay right now is “How much linking is too much linking?” Nearing the end of completing the project, we are at the stage where we are linking everything together. Following the first line of the extract we had to analyze, “Weblogs are densely interlinked” (Mortensen and Walker, 2002), I [...]

World’s Worst Website

That’s right, I have discovered the world’s worst website. And I am not lying, it is actually called “The world’s worst website”.

Social Networking

I had to create a little post discussing the revolution that is Facebook. First of all, without Facebook we wouldn’t be at this significant stage within our society, where it is no longer an issue when it comes to communication and connecting with people. This social networking website not only connects people for social purposes, [...]

The Principles of Beautiful Web Design

After browsing around on the internet to get some inspiration and ideas for designing the hypertext essay, I came across an awesome website. This website is promoting the book, THE PRINCIPLES OF BEAUTIFUL WEB DESIGN, and even though the website is expected to be amazing as it is promoting a book on web design, it [...]

Page Layout

I think the first step in creating a web page will focus closely on the particular layout type, which you feel would be appropriate for your site.
