As you work on your design of your web site that focuses on you and your interests it’s a good time to think about what the web site will say.  Remember a design is just a creative empty shell while the site's content is the living creative force behind your site.  Read the following article and answer the following questions in about one page, typed and handed into turnitin.com.

When you were assigned this project of creating a "About Me" website how much of your initial planning and design went into the wording of your web site? Was it even important to you?

Can you tell when a web site has placed a focus on its wording and communication?  Give an example of such a site and explain your reasoning in conjunction with this article.

What will you do with your current web site in terms of written content that will help others indentify with your web site.  Use the following two questions from the article to help you reach desired language.  I need specific examples that will later be placed in your final web site.

•  How do I want to make this user feel?
•  How would I carry on a face-to-face conversation with him?

I really want you to think creatively here.  Don't hold back have fun with words that will draw an audience to your site and keep them coming back.

This assignment will be worth a test grade and will be due on January 14th.
