the final day of class!!!! i've been anticipating it, but not because i didn't like it, but because i wanted to find out the last things i would learn before i logged in for the last time
i started this class with the intent of learning how to start a website and make it attractive and informative,,,,i did just that in this short semester.
thanks mr barker and to all the classmates who have given me feedback on my progress....
I will most likely be taking another web class next summer, probably web page programming if my school will accept it....

Website Interaction
Website interaction is allowing those who visit your website to interact with you and your business/organization.
For my site I used the pre existing forms of interaction on freewebs.com. I was able to add a blog, forum, and an email page to my site.

My Site
The site I am going to make will be for the FUTURE Mentorship Program of which I am the Executive Director so it would be a good project for me to get started on for this upcoming year.
I will have some background about the program; post pictures and information on our Council and coordinators along with a little info on the mentors; upcoming dates and events; contact information; and a potentail sponsor page.
This will just be an informative page for the program, school, and public.

Web Hosting
I found this free web hosting site via Google. You can chose to host an "ad enhanced" site or an "ad free" site; one difference between the two are that the "ad enhanced" site are required to have ads whereas the "ad free" site doesn't.
Another difference is the disk space and bandwith; the "ad free" site is much larger than teh "ad enhanced".
Features include FTP access, add-on domains, parked domains, forum support, fantastico, ability to upgrade, cron, additional e-mail accounts, sendmail, imap, pop3, php mail, cgi, gd library, my sql, php5+, and apache 2.2+
The site is called X10Hosting, http://www.x10hosting.com

Web Editors
After looking at a few different web editors I decided to use kompozer to build my biography web page...
Most web editors were WYSIWYG HTML but there were a few that allowed you to view the source.
I had a little fun making my autobiography :)
i went to my myspace page and put alot of pictures on it.
but other than that, its pretty easy to use web editors, its alot less time consuming than typing HTML!! hehehe...but it was fun....

HTML
Hand coding an HTML was so fun! I remember one of my advisors trying to show me how HTML works but I found myself lost and confused! After this assignment I now understand exactly what he was showing me!
After playing with HTML for a little bit, I got curious and googled some more info on it.
The site I found most helpful was http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/ because it had a variety of tutorials for HTML and HTML tags. This was a VERY valuable learning experience.
Maybe now when I surf the web I will be finding ways to make a web page look great! :)

Types of Websites
As the World Wide Web becomes more popular worldwide, new businesses and individuals bring new things to our technological based lives. Websites are accessed everyday by internet surfers and web junkies. This is becoming a great new way for businesses to
1. find new clientele
2. establish a stronger relationship with current clients/customers
3. inform the WORLD of their business (unless of course the site is accessible only with a password).
Entrepreneurial websites allow for business owners to sell and promote their products online. While most merely take orders to sell, some businesses will sell products to customers via internet. These types of website usually generate alot of revenue and/or keep employers, customers, shareholders, and many others involved in the company efforts to maintain the business. Customer service and technical support efforts usually take place on the businesses' websites.
Ex: www.shop.com www.gap.com www.basspro.com www.dillards.com www.walmart.com
Promotional websites give businesses, groups, and individual a voice that can go far beyond rallies, press conferences, and news releases; a website exposes their ideas to the free world. Ex: www.barackobama.com www.johnmccain.com www.hillaryclinton.com www.johnedwards.com
Informational websites allow for businesses and organizations to inform the public of their business or organization.
Ex: www.brinker.com www.brinkerdiversity.com www.naudl.org www.dallasisd.org
Social sites are growing more and more popular as more people live up to today's technological advances. These sites are used for networking, dating, friends, and even classifieds.
Ex: www.myspace.com www.facebook.com www.tagged.com www.mocospace.com
(my myspace link is www.myspace.com/azn_mex check me out!)
Businesses that benefit MOST from websites in my opinion are the ones to reach their goal. Many businesses that have websites that are formed in order to make money don't benefit from having the site if it is not making a profit; whereas a business that makes a website just to promote its service finds its website very beneficial when their business receives more clientele.
I think that all businesses should have website just to at least inform people of their service, products, and/or beliefs. The only stipulation I have on my theory is that each business make a website with a purpose and not just the (now mediocre) "get rich quick" site.
