Final Blog Post

This week, we made a mobile version of our website.  This way, people can view our site with ease while on their smart phones.  As for our news articles, we have updated the sports section, the world news section, and the technology section.  We feel like we have learned a lot about the world of news during this project.  One thing we came to realize is just how much bias goes into news posts from sources such as Fox News or CNN.  We also learned how hard it can be to create a fully functioning site WITH an active community.  We succeeded to create a working website, but failed to get an active community on our forums.  We look forward to our presentation after we get back from break, as we will really get a chance to talk to everyone about what we have learned from this project.

Week 10

So this week for our week 10 was pretty much average. No major outstanding improvements. New articles were added under the technology, politics and sports section of the websites. Some pretty interesting you should check them out.

Week 9 Updates

This week, both our world news and sports sections were updated.  We also updated our forums and suggestions page, removing tne suggestions box and adding a suggestion area into the forums.  This way, everyone can see the suggestions and hopefully give their opinions on it.  We also did this to encourage viewers to make a forum account, as we are really trying to get a community started on there.  It would be appreciated if you would make an account on our forums and give us your suggestions, as it can be difficult at times to think of ways to improve our site.

Average week 8

This week fro our website we added new articles under sports, World wide news, and technology. No one has yet taken advantage of using our new tools we added last week. Please check out the messaging and commenting sources. viewers that would use this source would benefit us in making the site better. We are also putting an ad on the morning announcements foe people to check out our website.

Much needed week 7

This week for our website we have made some major improvements. First off, many new articles have been posted like every other week on each section of the site. The biggest improvement made is we added a program so that the viewers can message us personally to let us know what they think of the site and what we should work on or change. Also we added a section where the viewers can actually comment on the site where other viewers can see what they said. This is a great opportunity for the viewers to have a chat with other viewers. Our group has agreed that this week 7 has been huge in improvements. Please check out our site (dkeel15.weebly.com) and take advantage of what we have added to benefit us, and yourselves!

Not Much New (Week 6)

We really have not been able to think of anything massive to add to our site lately, which has been kind of a disappointment.  We have new articles up for this week, one in world news about Japan being hit by an earthquake, and one in technology about AMDs new graphics card line named "Hawaii".  We plan to have a sports article up by Monday, and by next Wednesday we should have our politics section updated as well.  We will also try to think of something big to add to our website this week, whether it be a change in the website appearance or something else, we will try to improve on something, and we look forward to it.

Great Progress (Week 5)

We can all agree at this point in our project that we have figured out the basic steps of publishing our news articles on the site.  We also now have every section of our website displaying current posts as well as earlier ones, and this weeks articles include articles on the MLB playoffs, the new galaxy round, and Haiti suing the U.N.  We have also changed the layout of some of the news sections a bit, just so they look nice.  Overall, its still enjoyable, as it is always fun trying to improve our site, may it be in small ways or large.  We look forward to what we will improve on next week.
