Writing For Multimedia And The Web - Reflection Week 10

So, it's week 10

Another milestone reached! Who knew I'd have the persistence to keep on blogging for ten weeks. I certainly didn't.

So for this week's class, we learned about the " Best Practices for Writing in the Web ". Basically a guide for what to and what not to do when writing for the web. The topic touched on things like writing succinctly and not getting too creative when writing. I was rather shocked when the lecturer said to not use words from other languages in your writing, like French or Spanish since, well....

... * cough! cough!.....

I did consulted with Ms. Amreet, and apparently what i wrote was still appropriate for the assignment since it is a semi-casual blog. Though, I do wonder what I would have done if I was not aware of the limitations. Perhaps this whole blog would have been written in broken, butchered amateur French!

Aside from that, we learned how organize the content in our blogs into nice lists and bulletted paragraphs so it'll appear more kempt and clean-cut. It is important to do all of this so our readers would be more interested into reading our blogs and so that they can clearly identify the information and message we, as the blog writers are trying to convey.

As for the consultation session, I used the time to polish and fine-tune my homepage website. I was very satisfied with what me and my partner had achieved with our homepage. Others took the more flamboyant and extravagant route  to their web designs. I prefer minimalist and conservative design, and it's a good thing my partner share these traits.
