What is a 'splash page'? Look it up. Explain what they are and how they are used. Find an example of a splash page in Google Images. Save the image to you computer and then upload it to your blog post.

A splash page is an image that appears while a game or program is loading. It is the page of the website the user sees first before entering into the main content of the website. These pages, usually used by large applications, notify the user the the program is in the process of loading. Splash pages enhance the look or feel of a website and are usually visually appealing.

What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is. Do you agree or disagree with the writer?

I think this teacher has a very good point, and he is very passionate about his teachings and helping students succeed in their education. He is trying to say that school isn't all about academics it's about learning how to deal with all the hardships that come with it. The "main idea" is that the more we take the easy way out, the more we are setting ourselves up to fail later on in life. I agree with this because if students don't take challenging classes, don't show up to class, or don't turn in assignments will fail when they get into the real world. This was a really interesting blog to read!

Status update! Tell me where you are at on your product website? Can you be finished by tomorrow at the end of the hour? Do you need more time? How much more time? Be honest and explain yourself.

I have about nine more pages to finish because I never got taught how to properly link them up. I taught myself how to link them, but that took almost a whole hour and I fell behind. I will not be able to finish by tomorrow and I'll probably need Wednesday to complete it.

Welcome back! How was your Spring Break? Tell me all about it. You've been out of school for 10 days so I know you will have plenty to share. Make it good!

Over Spring Break I went to Marco Island, Florida with my family. My grandparents live in a fancy condo in the gated community know as Hideaway Beach. Two days after we arrived, my cousin Emily came to join us. Together, we went to the beach, went swimming, took kayaks out, took a ride on the Marco Princess and went to fancy dinners. I stayed pretty pale, which is sad.
On the last day, My cousin Quinn came to visit and go to the pool with us. We took many golf cart rides and saw a lot of wild animals. I was really sad to leave and I can't wait to go back next Spring Break!

Do you like the layout of this project? Have you benefited from your brainstorming sheet? Was it more helpful or annoying when starting to map out your website? Explain why.

I do like the layout of this project. I really helped to map out my website because then I could just transfer it into Dreamweaver. It was also helpful because I could brainstorm an idea and if I didn't like it I could erase and start over.

After reading below to see where you should be on your product website - are you caught up? What helps you stay caught up in class? Do you like having small checkpoints? Are you behind? If so, what are you going to do to get caught up?

I am right on track! I have done everything on the checklist and I am ready to move on. To stay caught up I just use my time wisely and not get distracted by visiting other websites or playing on my phone. I will not be here Wednesday so to make sure I don't get behind, I'm going to come in for TCB when we get back.

What idea do you have that is going to make you product website different, unique or unlike anyone else? If you're answer is you don't know - it's time to start THINKING. Explain your idea.

To make my website unique, I am going to add small details to make my website look professional. The small details will add a personal touch to make it my own. I'm still thinking of other ways to make it unique, but I think this website will turn out great!
