Blog #6- Mapping

For now my idea is to have a picture of a cartoon house centered on my page with links to possibly the doors and windows that are visible. Each link will be a part of the house that my dog "hangs out" and sleeps in. The hypertext is basically a description of the time spent in these different parts of the house from my dogs perspective.

Blog #5-GoogleSites Xperience

Google Sites is definitely an awesome tool for amateurs (such as myself). There are a lot of options to make an individuals work look like some type of fancy software was used to design it. Well, that's the way I view it & I guess I'm not as computer savvy as I thought I was. As this course progresses and after somewhat navigating Google Sites, I do feel "challenged" as far as creativity goes.

Blog #4: Hypertext brainstorming

I'm a litte discouraged because I'm not finding myself to be creative enough for this project but I am sticking with the storyline revolving around my dog. She's a black laborador named Bella and has the best life, ever. She actually reminds me of the story, Goldie Locks and the Three Bears; She tends to make way throughout various rooms of my house, napping. Once her morning pee is done and the people who leave the house in the morning are gone, she makes way to her first destination to sleep (as if she didn't just sleep about 7-8 hours overnight). Anyway, over the course of the day she decides she's not comfortable remaining in one bed or fluffy thing to rest on so she moves and basically does that for the duration of her day. I figure I'd write about that but somehow try to keep the reader in the dark about the fact that I'm writing about an actual dog and it's daily routine of sleep. I will probably label the links with the parts of the house or the thing (material) she lays on and kind of just map it to where I've mentioned every place I've ever seen her sleep.

Blog #3: Ideas for Hypertext project

I quickly viewed Girls' Day Out & 10:01, two works that are quite different from one another (delivery-wise). I actually relaly liked the layout of 10:01 but became overwhelmed when I noticed how many options there were to view the text. There were just too many places to click and I just got a headache. So...Girls' Day Out it is.

Blog #2: FAQ's call for more FAQ's

Ok...it took me about 2 hours to read "FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT "HYPERTEXT" so I kind of have to gather my thoughts. It's definitely something I wouldn't have chosen to read on my own but I can say it was "attention getting" for a while due to it's weirdness. I don't know, I have to get back...

What I wrote down while reading this:

#3-Is he (Richard Holeton) displaying his interpretation of the poem by inducing his own story? Is Another Day at the Office something he wrote prior to "Frequently Asked Questions...."? So far, weird.
#4-He continues to unravel his interpretations or discovery of anagrams linked to people (actors) such as Ewan McGregor. (Is the author gay? Is he a fan of McGregor's?????) still weird.
#6-Ellen Richards once a man???(answered my own question later on)
