hey
lynn i like your idea with the horoscope, maybe we can do like a each month in the whole year thing?? so at least we would have somthing in the winter months so we wouldnt have to update it now? i wouldnt mind doing it although i am not a astrolger i have a few books about astrology and like to create my own (like the onion does)
also... um, under the 'work in progress' part, my name at top is spelled wrong, there is no 'e'. No big deal though
Hope everyone has a good week.

hi gals. i talked to rose about what her class was doing for our project and she said that someone had the idea to post horoscopes. good idea, but then we would have to update our site all the time, and since none of us is an astrologer (right?) we could maybe post either a link to a horoscope site or make up our own "horrorscopes" like the onion does. also, her class was writing articles and has lots of ideas, so maybe we can get lots of content from them so that we can work on other things for the site instead of writing everything???

nice job. talk to kristin about her design for the title, "In the Loop" w/ the skyline. we all dug it, you probably will too.
hey, kids. i'm curious to know whether or not any of you like any games on the internet right now-- so while i'm compiling a list of fun ones, i can include yours. also, there's an interesting article on sports ethics at www.charactercounts.com if you want to read it.

I think I figured out how to export my bookmarks, except my entire list of bookmarks is here when I only want you guys to see the ones under GALLERIES, TRANSPORTATION and MISC CHIC INFO, so only look at those until i can figure out how to get the others off.

Kate-cool design I think that that's a great start and we can really get going more on it next week
Hi everyone,

Sorry that I've missed class the last two weeks. Between missing the train and getting sick, it's been bad luck all around. Just so you know that I haven't abandoned you all, I thought I'd throw you a quick design concept, loosely based on the design that Barb posted. You can see the prototype here.

Note that it has no graphics whatsoever, but right now, I'm working with what is effectively a typewriter -- just a keyboard and MS Notepad. So without access to graphics programs, I can't do any graphics. Before class on Wednesday, I swear, I'll post a bunch of really sweet graphical designs for y'all to peruse.

Because I missed out on a ton of discussion about what we want this site to look like, could someone fill me in a little? E-mail me at kate@campusecology.org with input.

Again, sorry about flaking out for two weeks. I'm still very much engaged in this project. Expect to hear more from me after the weekend. I have a bunch of ideas on paper that I'll be plugging into Dreamweaver next time I have a chance to sit down at a computer that wasn't generously donated to your public library by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

hey kids, under the RECESS button, i think we should put all of our games, like monkey dodgeball. lots of kids might log on just to play monkey dodgeball. Also, we could post links to games tht already exist on the web, like the lime football game on www.corona.com
The format for the site is nice, but what's up w/that photo? Shouldn't it be of students, or something w/a more urban theme?
Here is a sample of what our site could look like. It uses one of the built-in pages from DMX2004 with a few modifications, like adding a background .jpg of the lakefront. We will take a look at this today.
