Due sept 12th oops!!!

1. Reading Reflection

Chapter3

The book is dry but with good information. It’s kind of redundant and most things I already understand and know. It’s human communication that I am most interested in, how does someone read a page. What is the easiest way for me to lay out a page for a user? These chapters are about the technical stuff, make sure to find out the age, make sure to use the right audience. I KNOW! So needless to say I am looking forward to future chapters!!! Between Passive and aggressive writing or speaking, passive is if you are talking to someone who is willing to bend. Also passive language is used when someone doesn’t have any idea which side to undertake. While aggressive language is used to further pursue someone who has an idea. They are already committed and can handle a more aggressive language!

Chapter5

Okee dokee. This is a bad chapter as well, first they teach you deprecated html, is and has not been used! PLUS if you really want to read the best darn article on writing for the internet read THIS!!!

Given to me by my Web design teacher. Wow. I read the WHOLE thing!!! Woo woo!

Chapter7

Interesting chapter. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT boys and girls!!!! Now a days there is sooooo much out there so BEFORE you make a website, or write that pamphlet make sure you study and find if there is any copyright that you will be breaking or your data is too much like someone else’s. If it is a small project that not many people will see, don’t waist your money hiring someone to check these things out, instead just research your self, BUT if it is a larger company, hire someone (usually a lawyer) to make sure you are legally safe!!! AND don’t be lazy people, do your own work!! Sheesh! Nothing like going to 2 websites with the same info, it can be good but if I don’t feel safe, I’m not going to go to those websites anymore!!!

2. I definitely use writing processes when doing papers. But not all the time. I should. One project I am working on right now is my Harry Potter website. I started out using a web developers design steps for any information etc. The first step is to write out a general plan, like writing an intention paper. Then right out the general points to your website, including everything that will be in it, but very general, that would be an outline. From there grab all necessary information and make those your paragraphs. This is working really well since I am making a crazy complicated website that young children (esp. parents) will need to understand!!!)

3. When creating a job application it is important to weed out those who would not mix well with the job at hand. If you are asking for a specialized or higher paying job, ask for a cover letter, some places even go so far as to ask their clients to write out an essay, rather then a formal application! Make sure that your client KNOWS what is needed for this job, will they live to far away, what they will be doing and the hours the job needs. Make sure that they even sign off or check mark abilities they can and can not do. Id make sure I knew what employee I would want, that PERFECT employee and design the application to be catered to those people. So that I got out the right information that I need!

4. Post Job interview message.

I’m confused!

6. Alright! In my future job there are 3 main ways of communication that are used regularly though out!!! Chat! Numero uno! Chat, or IM (instant messaging) is the hot thing as they would say. There are 2 types of instant messaging. There is the application that you download and use when you start up your computer, for ex. AIM, yahoo, windows messenger, my space messenger. Then there is browser based messaging, which is an internet messenger that usually has a longer lag time. The second type of communication is email, this takes longer then IMing. Though you have more time to compose a well written email and is used more often for technical things or companies then IMing. The third is message boards. Those also come in 2 different types. The first is for any body to post (who is allowed access) and any body can reply, so your answer varies, the second is a help-desk message board specifically for you and your provider of merchandise.
