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.

My website is looking really good right now. I had to make some adjustments, but altogether I really like my site. I currently have eight pages finished and need o complete seven. The next few should be easy so by the end of the hour I should have ten or eleven done. I would really like until at least block day to work. To get it done by tomorrow seems almost impossible.

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.

Over spring break my family went to Naples, Florida. We spent a lot of time with my mom's friend from high school on the beach and barbecuing at her house. It was a fun week and I was excited because I didn't get too burnt. When we got home from vacation I had soccer work outs and a lot of community service to do. It was nice to stay busy. I was not ready for break to end.

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.

So far I like the layout of my project but not necessarily the design. I feel as if I had this vision in my head and no matter how hard I try it can happen. It was helpful to layout my design to get an idea of what I wanted, but the farther I get into my project the more I'm changing it. So it seems almost pointless to have made the layout when I am no longer sticking with it.

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 was gone Friday so I missed out on making the header. I have ideas for my header but I do not have a complete thought for it yet. I don't really have check points until the very end of the project. If I set checkpoints I won't ever get more than that done on that day. If I feel as if I am behind I will come in early one day and try to catch up.

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.

My idea is different from everyone else because it is a family bakery. My bakery will have specialty recipes and menu items. Not only is my product idea creative, but also my site colors of pink and tan are very unique. My site layout seems to be coming along great and will also be unique.

What product have you decided to feature/sell on your product website? Explain why you've chosen this product and remember, the sky is the limit on this project!

I chose to do a family business called Hagel's Bagels and Brownies. My family has joked about making this bakery shop forever and now I can make a website out of it. It will be fun to tell my parents about what I'm doing in class. This website will be creative and original.
