What is a website wireframe? Explain. If you don't know what it is, look it up. Find an image online to place on your blog that represents a website wireframe and how they work.

 The wireframe depicts the page layout or arrangement of the website’s content, including interface elements and navigational systems, and how they work together.[2]:131 The wireframe usually lacks typographic style, color, or graphics, since the main focus lies in functionality, behavior, and priority of content.[1]:167 In other words, it focuses on what a screen does, not what it looks like.[1]:168 Wireframes can be pencil drawings or sketches on a whiteboard, or they can be produced by means of a broad array of free or commercial software applications. Wireframes are generally created by business analysts, user experience designers, developers, visual designers and other roles with expertise in interaction design, information architecture and user research.

A website wireframe is basically the blueprint to a web page. They are made to arrange the parts of a website to be most efficient for your purpose. The wireframe is the skeleton to the website; it doesn't show any of the color, graphics, or any extra styles.  It can also have all of the names of the parts of the website. Examples to create a box it might say the that the div class is <div class="box">.

Finish this sentence "10 years from now I will be...."

25 years old probably having a good time with my friends going to clubs in a city. Just kidding I will probably be back home with my 3 cats watching reruns of SVU. I probably won't want a complicated life I'll live a simple one. Because that's what's important.

Tell me about your weekend. Go.


On Friday night I had a soccer game, got home, drank a ginger ale, then went to bed. But that night there was a lot of drama and I was the buffer, so I had the pleasure of receiving phone calls till 1:00 am. On Saturday morning at 10:00, I went out driving to Olathe with Molly Harrigan and Mr. Biord, my drivers ed teacher. Later that day was oncer again filled with phone calls from my friends then babysitting. Then on sunday morning I was woken up at 6 to go to IHOP (not the international house of prayer). The rest of the day was full of me doing homework then I had a soccer game at 7, which we won.

If I were to complain about kids these days it would probably be about their reliance on technology. I thought my generation was bad, but they're so far past the line they can't find their way back. Everybody is fat and has NO social skills. What used to be sports out on a field or court with a ball is now replaced with a game controller. First off, all the people are wicked neurotic and way too honest; they really can't control themselves.

What do you find the most confusing and frustrating part of web design and HTML code so far? What would make it easier? What don't you understand? What do you understand? Explain yourself.

One thing that I can't stand about HTML code is that if you accidentally add one extra space or character, then it can screw up the entire code. It's also really frustrating how it takes forever to write one paragraph. I don't understand how it works to make websites.  How can just a few letters put together create really complex websites.

Tell me a little bit about yourself and your life here at BVHS. What activities or clubs are you involved in? What year are you in school? What is your favorite class and/or teacher so far this year? What are you looking forward to this school year? Include some original photos from your phone if you can.

Currently I'm a freshman at BVHS. In the fall I participated in cross country and made the varsity team. At regionals, we clenched third place taking us to state! So far I'm really liking biology, mostly because I can sleep the whole time. Other classes that I don't like include: honors geometry (I have to teach myself the information), design fundamentals (I just didn't like it), and gym (well, I have a really rude teacher. hint: it starts with a Mc and ends with a Nerlin).

Always be the bigger person
Beer before liquor, get sick quicker. Liquor before beer, you're in the clear.
Change isn't always bad
Don't change for others
Eye checks should be a yearly thing
Forgive and forget
Give good advice
Hippos will attack
I think you should get a reality check
Just because you heard it, doesn't mean it's true
Kindness should be everywhere
Loudness is annoying
Manners are important
Never hurt people
Only you can make your choices
Pronounce your words
Question your choices
Read
Smile, you never know who's watching
Think before you act
Unite with old friends
Voices in your head is schizophrenia
Words speak louder actions
Xylophones aren't toys, they will break
Your more important than you think
Zoo's are for animals not people

What are your thoughts on this class so far? Easy? Hard? Informative? Frustrating? What have you learned so far? What do you want to learn? Explain yourself.

So far this class has been pretty easy.  I think once we start getting into more-depth on code academy then it will be a frustrating. I'm glad that when I finish this class I won't have to take another computer class again, so that's definitely a plus.  So far I have only learned to code on how to insert a picture or text then hyperlink it.  I would like to learn how to create shapes.

Tell me about your weekend. What did you do? Upload a photo to your Google Drive and then insert the photo (or photos!) to your blog post to show me what all you did.

This weekend started on Friday for me. I had a soccer game game at 8, but because it's all the way out in Gardner, I didn't get home till 10:30.  I then got home home and watched ten minutes of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy before falling asleep.  On Saturday, I went to candidate interview, where I have to sit in a room full of boy and they get to ask me weird questions (its not very interesting). Then I went home and watched the Patriots beat the Ravens with my friend.  My mom was mad because me and my sister both like the Patriots and she likes the jets, who suck.   Later that night I went to a surprise birthday party for my friend Riley, but it wasn't much of a surprise because she knew about the party. Then I didn't do much Sunday.

Read this small newspaper clipping and then write a blog post about it. What are your thoughts? How does it make you feel? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.

John Tapene explains that kids can't wait around for things to happen to them, instead, they should be out mowing lawns, helping people, and getting a job. He makes a good point when he says: go make something of your self, but the bottom line is that we're still teenagers. Teenagers now a days have stress from school, sports, and homework. It was a different time when he was in high school so he can't make a legitimate judgement call.  Its not his place to be deciding what teenagers should and shouldn't be doing with their time. So yes, once and a while it would be now to have somewhere to relax instead always doing something for their community. If the community could do something for us, that would be nice too.
