Good Advice from Nathaniel

Hope you all saw Gnat's last blog here. He has a great idea about the rss feed.
copy this link, http://provwebclass.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
paste it in your address bar of the browser,
click it,
it should automatically ask you to bookmark it.
This will place a feed line in your browser that will allow you to see when the blog is updated by anyone.

As to his idea about the chat room, I think they can be addictive and open doors we don't always need to be aware of. Be careful. Honor Christ in all things.

Not to break things up, or anything, but....

1) Matthew
2) 16
3) To learn 1337 h4xing skillz
4) A- to A+
5) Those chaps in Europe could teach us in the US a thing or two about broadband, that's for sure! =^)
6) I'd go on a roadtrip and help anyone I could, spending a bit of time here and there helping certain situations.
7) Poor site layout mainly, slow page loading, poor advertising, etc...
8) News of a 40GB/s connection speed and several features of Ubuntu vie for that position.

let's get comming

Alright, let's get comming, then.

First, let's know when things get posted here. Enter the feed.
http://provwebclass.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default

Let your feed reader have this. Or you might use this handy service I recommend and use. Paste in the feed address and give them your email (I'll vouch - you'll get no spam from this).

You'll find my email address in my profile.

If we want to conference: irc.freenode.net. Grab an IRC client. Create a channel called #provwebdesign. Bingo, we can conference.

My MSN account is the same as my email address. Contact me if you want my Yahoo!

Oh, and might I suggest hopping over here and trying Firefox 3 Beta 3 Portable. I'm using it right now, and believe me, it's good. A real plus: the visual refresh. The new Firefox has nice integration with system look. Well, I guess.

Ta ta for now...

3rd times the charm

Hello, web smart people. I'm glad that you decided to visit.

Anyway... on to the homework.


Who you are? Nathaniel.
How old are you? 15
Why do you want to take this class? I want to gain web design skill, real world experience, and have some fun with good friends!
What you think your grade will be in this class? B+ to A+. Is that optimistic enough?
What sort of invention does the "web" need to make it the best for the future: more bandwidth!! OK, how about a morphing of the web into an experience? Hit F11 and get sucked into the WWW, complete with Pandora streamed background music, and optional browsing widgets (claps for Opera and Firefox here).
What would you do with a $1,000,000 to help the world around you? First I would help out our poor struggling school. And then maybe help finance Christian outreach in the United States. After all, if some see us as a Christian nation, we should be a good witness! Ok, we should be one anyway, but... the US is pretty influential on the world.
Why do you think some web businesses fail and other succeed? Some of it can be first impressions. But if web businesses are failing to provide pleasing enough visuals/interfaces and their services don't work, they're doomed.
What is the most interesting thing you learned online in the last two weeks? Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 3 was released. alright, so i had to pick something.

Right, ho, over and out.

The First Blog!

Welcome Students! Senor Venado here.
I hope you are as excited about this class as I am. I look forward to walking with you all down this exciting road of new knowledge and experience. Please make this a regular place of conversation. We will handle most all of our out of class questions and comments here. What you learn and share with us makes us all stronger. None of us has mastered any portion of this great morphing place we call the web and we need each other to help make sense of it and to form the web of the future.
Semper Reformata!

Your first assignment is to post to this blog and answer the following questions (due by the second day of class)। There are no private blogs here, just private emails। All the web can see but only you can post:
Who you are (first names only).
How old are you?
Why you want to take this class.
What you think your grade will be in this class (be optimistic :-)).
What sort of invention does the "web" need to make it the best for the future?
What would you do with a $1,000,000 to help the world around you?
Why do you think some web businesses fail and other succeed?
