Chapter 3

This chapter terrified me. I am so computer illiterate and words like "flow chart" and "database" were horrifying me. Even after reading the chapter, I am still not exactly confident in my ability to grasp all of these contacts. It was interesting to learn all of the different levels that a writer can get, ranging from a simple content writer to a project manager. I guess I never really thought that the person writing content could actually manage the project as well. For some reason, in my mind, a project manager was someone who had a business degree and not an English degree. It's refreshing (and a bit scary) to know that, as a person with an English degree, I will have a lot of room to advance in my career, should I decide to work with websites or technical writing in any way.

Chapter One

I know that for a lot of people this chapter was probably a great deal of review, though for me it did have quite a bit of information that I had never really taken into consideration before. The chapter has made me more critical of the websites that I view on a daily basis. It also set motions in place for deciding how I will create my own website for this class, and the types of information that I will put on it. I liked that the chapter pointed out how important consistancy is; for example using either all buttons or all menus. I think that small things like this are things that most people never consider when thinking about a webpage, though this chapter shows how vitally important it actually is.

Technology/Literacy/Autobiography

1: I am still not exactly able to use the computer, though I got my first computer when I was 15. I don't exactly have a talent for technology, in fact, most technology goes crazy and refuses to work aroud me.
2: I started playing around on the internet at the same time I got my first computer. I can do basic things (like email) and research, but that's about all I am good at.
3: I got a myspace about 4 years ago and a facebook last year. I just learned to use them by trial and error.
4: I cannot access them if they are at all difficult to work or find. I can google things, and find academic information, but nothing further than that.
5: By making this step-by-step simple.
