Due Tomorrow
By Wednesday 2/8 at noon. A BETA version of the Personal Course Home Page is due to be posted to the Web.

How to:

1. Complete your PCHP using the skills you learned in the "Liquid Page Design" and "Banner" exercises
2. Post that page and associated image files to the Web using the directions in the exercise "Moving Files to the Web with Dreamweaver MX." On the server ("remote site") these files should be saved in the folder www/5230/personal.
3. Visit your page with your Web browser, copy the URL from the browser's location box at the top, and paste that URL into a message to the Webx discussion "Projects/Personal Course Home Page URLs."

Readings for Thursday

Please read the following chapters from the Jakob Nielsen book

1. Chapter 1, "Why Web Usability?" (8)
2. Chapter 2, "Page Design" (16)

If you're reading ahead, Chapter 3, "Content Design" (98) will be assigned for next Tuesday the 14th.

As you read, be thinking of specific ways you can improve--and re-envision!--your project with what Nielsen has to say. Make notes in the margins so you can find and discuss these thoughts in class.

Take a look at the checklist of criteria used to evaluate the final version of this project, which I gave you last time. Remember that you will not be responsible categories 2 and 3 under "Writing and Design Criteria" for the BETA version, just the final version due 2/13.

Studio Session
Today, we will dedicate our time to a "Studio Session" to work on your Personal Course Home Page Projects.

Though you are working individually, I will expect you to stay and be productive until the end of class time. If you need to leave early, as it says on the syllabus, please let me know ahead of time.

In this studio session, ask for help if you want it—not just from me, but also from your neighbors. Working here together is an opportunity to combine knowledge and insight. If you finish, look for people to help.

Roll

For today's class, go ahead and do the following on your computer:

Archive the beta version of your PCHP project online: open your folder "www/5230/personal" and do the following:

• using Windows, create a new folder inside of "www/5230/personal" called "beta"
• from the "personal" folder, copy the "index.html" page and the assets folder from the top level of personal
• paste these items inside the folder "beta" (that is, "www/5230/personal/beta")
• open Dreamweaver, import your site settings, and check in your site files to see if you now have an arrangement like this:

Final Versions of the PCHP Projects due by Next Monday at Noon

By Monday 2/13 at noon, post the page to your <www/5230/personal> folder. Be sure you have saved the original BETA version in its own folder as described above. The revised version should appear at the URL that you sent to the Webx discussion "Personal Course Home Page URLs."

Printout and Commentary: On Tuesday 2/14, please bring to class a commentary and printout of your Personal Course Home Page project. Please see the section "Printouts and Commentaries" on the syllabus for complete directions.

Questions about the Personal Course Home Page Project?

The final version will be due by noon on Monday, February 13.

Post the final version to the top level of your folder "www/5230/personal."

Be sure to leave the BETA version as it is now in the folder "www/5230/personal/beta" so you'll have a record of where you started when you began revising.

1. copy and paste all the written comments you've made for everyone actually discussed (not just scheduled for) that day into the form "Workshop Comments for Today" and click "Send to Craig." Be sure to label each set of comments with the project number, the name of the project's author, and the correct date of the workshop.
2. Individually send each author your comments on his or her project by using the e-mail list on the form "Workshop Comments for Today.

Jello Page Design

Jello Page Design

For this exercise, you'll need the in-class handout Jello Page Design and to download the images from the page "jellopieces" and save them to a folder "www/5230/exercises/jello/assets" (that is, a folder called "assets" inside of "jello" inside of "exercises," etc.)

Jello page design a complement to Liquid Page Design, and is the model for my own home page.

By the end of the day Wednesday, send the URL of the finished product in a message to the Webx folder jello (exercises/jello).

Readings from Jakob Nielsen's Chapters 1 & 2

We'll take some time today to post a message to the Webx discussion Nielsen Chapters 1 & 2 .

This activity will count as a "quiz" grade, though you will only get credit if you follow all the steps below.

In a message to Nielsen Chapters 1 & 2, write about the two ideas—that is, principles, techniques, rules, insights, guidelines—from the readings that you found most important for revising the Personal Course Home Page and other future Web-design projects:

1. In the first line of the message: sum up the most valuable idea in one phrase or line as a title

2. Also in the first line, after your title, put the page number in parentheses.

3. Starting on the second line of the message, summarize or quote the first idea, say in your own words why its valuable,

4. Give the URL of a page that doesn't fulfill Nielsen's advice (you can link to the BETA version of your own PCHP, or something else) and say why that page seems to ignore that idea and why it matters.

5. Space down from the first idea, write a title and give the page number in parentheses for the second idea you've chosen from the readings.

6. Space down a line, and then summarize or quote that second idea idea and why you think it's important. (For the second idea, you don't need to provide a link to an example unless you have one easily at hand.)

After we have posted

1. Hit the refresh button of your browser, look through the other messages, and find one message that highlights an idea and gives an example that you think is really useful and interesting for revising the PCHP and doing other projects in Web design.

2. "Vote" for that idea/example by sending a "reply" to that message: choose "Reply" from the link menu in the header of that message (on the right side). If you can provide a link to an example of a page that does or doesn't follow that piece of advice, that would be ideal.

If you don't finish this activity in the time we spend in class, you have 24 hours—until Friday at class time—to post a completed message and reply. Note that, for a few days, you can go back and edit messages that you have posted.

Chapter 3 (Content Design)

Today, we'll talk about what we can learn from Jakob Nielsen about "designing content" (writing and editing) for our Glocalization Projects.

Introduction and Brainstorming

1. First, let's look at the assignment together.

2. Questions?

3. We'll brainstorm on ideas for our Glocalization project today. The Glocalization Project will be due by Monday, 3/14 at noon.

• imagining your audience (freewriting): their stake, passion, connection
• Google search (copy URLs, say how your site would be different)
• cluster (audience point of view)

Brainstorming

We'll continue brainstorming using the handout I'll give you in class.

Something we'll talk about is the "Cubist" notion of Web-site design, exemplified by John Updike's essay "Thirteen Ways of Looking at the Masters."

Here are some sample passages:

from section 2 "As an Event Not in Augusta, Georgia"

How many Augusta citizens are members of the Augusta National Golf Club? The question, clearly in bad taste, brought raised eyebrows and a muttered "Very few" or, more spaciously, "Thirty-eight or forty." the initial membership fee is rumored to be $50,000, there is a waiting list five years' long, and most the members seem to be national Beautiful People, Golfing Subspecies, who jet in for an occaisonal round during the six months the course is open....

from section 4 "As a Right of Spring"

"It's become a rite of spring," a man told me with a growl, "like the Derby." Like Fort Lauderdale. Like Opening day at a dozen ballparks. Spring it was, especially for us Northerners who had left our gray skies, brown launs, salt-strewn highways, and plucky little croci for the efforescence of azaleas....

from section 5 "As a Fashion Show"

Female fashions, my wife pointed out, came in three strata. First, young women decked out as if going to a garden party—makeup, flowing dresses, sandals. Next, the trim, leathering generation of the mothers, dressed as if they themselves were playing golf—short shirts, sun visors, cleated two-toned shoes. Last, the generation of the grandmothers, in immaculately blued hair and amply filled pants suits in shades we might call electric pastel or Day-Glo azalea.

from section 11 "As Class Relations"

Thought the Augusta National aspires to be the American St. Andrews, there is a significant economic difference between a Scottish golf links thiriftily pinked out on a wasteland—the sandy seaside hills that are "links"—and the American courses elaborately, expensively carved from farmland and woods. Though golf has plebeian Scottish roots, in this country its province is patrician. A course requires capital and flaunts that anicent aristocratic prerogative, land....

Tiling Background Images

Today, we'll learn to make tiling background for "jello" style pages. See the handout "Tiling Background Images for Web Pages" I'll give you in class and download the image linked from the techniques site page for this exercise.

Questions about the Glocalization Project

Image Into Type

Today, we'll learn to create headings for Web pages that are both image and text.

You'll need to visit the techniques page for this exercise and download a background image from there. If you prefer, you can use a background image of your own.

I will give you a handout in class to follow.

Class Blackboard for March 7

	Roll On Thursday, we will not meet as a class. Use this time to gather material (pictures, facts, quotes, etc.) for your Glocalization Project. For some of you, this may entail travel to your hometowns or other locations as part of Spring Break. Come back on Tuesday 3/21, refreshed and fortified with all you need to work on the Glocalization site (due Monday, 3/27) No Essay Project This Semester To allow sufficient time for the Web-based projects as scheduled, we will not complete an Essay Project, which is normally part of this course. This means that we will not use the David Trend essay collection that, sorry to say, I asked you to purchase. Future students should know that the essay assignment will continue to be included in COMP 5230.
	Questions? This is a good chance to ask them before the break. It's All About Audience An article in Sunday's New York Times, "Fixing a Hole," describes the wide appeal of blogs kept by young couples renovating houses. Are these blogs "glocal"? They are in the way they transcend their local subjects. The article, for instance, presents the case of "Jeannie" and "Aaron," of www.houseinprogress.net, whose rescue of a "sad, neglected, muddled" Chicago bungalow started out, like most houseblogs, as a modest e-circular for friends and relatives. The site now gets 1,300 unique visitors a day and has tallied 2.7 million page views so far. The article answers the same question that we've been asking about our own glocalization topics: why would readers on the Internet care about the renovation of a house they don't own and will never visit?
