I'm behind on my practical work as per usual. Self inflicted. And I wonder why I get stressed!
Today is the 6th April and I'm handing in my blog tomorrow .. have not finished my website just yet. I did edit it more but haven't blogged it.
Left my house without my usb stick so catching up on little things like this before I can finish my evaluation.
The website has changed quite a bit to be honest, added another photo. One of my friend on a boat looking happy and I thought this was agood convention to develop like The News does as its more personal and can relate to the community who may know her and aspire to what she has achieved (supposedly). Its the same photo to what I've put onto my front cover last minute and is another convention that The News does. They often link similar stories from what they've had in their paper to the website.
The website is important as in this generation, web 2.0 and technology has rapidly moved on. Having a website for a newspaper benefits people in ways for easy access like on a SMARTphone. 
Another piece I added was an advertisement on subscribing to the paper. I used the blue theme again and used a gradient look which gives it an edgethat The News uses. Thus mixing the blue with white and showing a cover of my paper titled! And also my inner page behind it.
I popped in a deal to encourage potential readers as this is what a media product uses to attract the product. Here is what it looks like.
ALSO, my second page of my website has been finished pretty late! On the 7th April ... not good either.
Here it is
Soo, I have dragged a picture in there of my friend Jenny! In Africa! And I basically wrote the story on her experience and really did use quotes that she'd said when she got back. But I thought this story would be good to use as it can target a younger audience for my paper and website as they can relate to someone at that age having ambition to go abroad or do things in general.
On the left, I've popped a home page on there and created a hyperlink with that one also, this was just by highlighting, selecting inspector on the bottom right hand corner and then clicking along the box until I find 'hyperlink'. Pretty simple pimple. Did use an arrow originally but I got told not to! Which I agree with but I was rushing and thinking at the time so yes it has been deleted. (told by my lecturer because it wasn't really realistic).
The weather was rushed as you can notice, unlike the weather in my newspaper. I took time with that one. So used the same icons with the weather and a basic description. Definately could be improved, and this will be a lesson learned for myself when planning my work. I must finish things before beginning with my evaluations too. Then I can go back and improve on it like my front page of my paper. Something that will be better in the future.
Here is my website:
