Domain name - anything after the www. on the website
We need a USB stick to do this assignment!
This lesson we learnt all about iWeb. I didnt even realize that the application was on the macs already! We made a trailer page and home page fr meghnas video. We leanrt how to make hyperlinks. We know how to make an 'Enter Site'. This is pretty amazing - it is so easy to make a website! haha. (i hope i dont regret saying this!)
Today we are going to practise making pages and putting links and photos into the pages!

Lesson 2
In this lesson, Mr P said that we have 6 weeks to do our assignment. He said that he would not give us an impossible task for 12 weeks to finish it in 6 weeks. That is good news :) But he also said that if we talk for half the lesson, we would only have 3 weeks to do an assignment that takes 6 weeks! (which is common sense but I dint really think about it that way!)
We are now on Lady Gaga's official Website. She has heaps of hits! Heaps and heaps and heaps! like 100 000 000! and even more! Once again, we talked about the 3-click rule and the logo on the top left corner. Black, white and red are her signature and they have also kept this on the website. Facebook, twitter and MySpace is also their so that people can follow her in a more easier website. Oh, He also said that the home page is usually on a movie page or a famous persons official page! As in 'Enter the Site'!
Next – we looked up Harry Potter ☺ I like harry potter! Haha. Mr P also told us that it is unreal that most of the characters have stayed the same (actors wise). In the case of Dumbledore, who died, but because he had so many white beards and hair, he was easy to replace. But if Daniel Radcliff, Emma Watson, Rupet Grint or any other of the top characters changed, the public would no have been very impressed. They might have lost customers because a new Harry, or Hermione or Ron would have been bad. It would no have looked the same and people like the old actors/actresses. This reminds me of the twilight saga. In the third movie, the character of Victoria was swapped in the third movie. She was in the first 2 movies and was replaced with another actress. When I found out, I was really really angry because I thought I liked the other person better. But in the end I didn’t really care and the new actress grew on me ☺ The expectation to this is James Bond. Over all in the approximately 20 movies, there have only been 5 actors. This would have been funny if an old man played the whole James Bond in an action film. We talked about the harry potter poster on the website. We said that you know that it is harry because of his glasses and his scare and because it has HP7 down the bottom. Mr P said striking and simple sometimes works best.
Term 4 :)
We are making websites!!
On the first lesson of his term, we went though what we wanted to achieve and what our marks represented. Mr Crawley came into class. We looked up things such as cats and trees to see that most of the time the logo of the website is always on the top left hand side. This is usually the case in English websites because our 21st century eye always goes up to the top left of the page to start reading. This is actually true! I tried it and I was like whoa! haha.
We also learnt about the 3 click rule. This means that in your website, anyone should be able to get anywhere they want and get the information from your website in 3 clicks or less. Mr P said that most people are impatience with the Internet and that if they cant find what they need in 3 clicks, they go back to google or their search engine.
We also found out that our website wont actually be on the Internet. It will be on our USB. I kinda wish that we our website would be real, but sometimes I don't. But i guess I don't really have a choice! :P
