Starting Project 4

For project 4 my group and I plan to write about a girl living in Morgantown that has a lot of bad luck, so much so that when things seem like they cant get any worse...they do. Our plan is to start with an original story and then add possible stories after that, so the reader can choose what will happen next. You can simply choose A or B and then go from there. We plan to use google maps to show where the different events occur in town. We may also give her a blog.
By thursday we all want to have a beginning to our character's story and then we will decide from there what will happen to her and divide her destiny. We plan to color code our writing so even though it is one story you can identify who wrote each part or you can guess and then look at the index to see if you were right;)
So I guess our to do list is to get our character's story line started, and create her blog and google maps.

The Authorized Biography of Jack O. Lantern

I was born in a pumpkin patch in central southern Pennsylvania. My brothers and sisters and I are orphans, but a very friendly farmer found us when we were small and took very good care of us. I educated myself by listening to others and the ability to read just came to me naturally. Once I reached a defined mature age I was picked right from my home and shipped off to a Wal-Mart in the Morgantown area. One evening a few weeks ago, a lovley couple decided to take me home with them, I was just a pumpkin without a face, but they saw more to me than that. They gave me a face, a mighty handsome one at that, I suppose I could use some dental work, but I think my one snaggle tooth is rather charming. Today I have come to enjoy my new home, when Lee is gone I have the house to myself. I have been reading the books in the living room, I am growing a fondness for classic rock and I have become good friends with the concrete bulldog and the antique Owl salt and pepper shakers.
I enjoy the outdoors, traveling and listening to music. Of course I love halloween and scary movies ;)

Starting Project 3

So I plan to invent someone, probably someone the exact opposite of me because I think that would be fun. I will use myspace because I already have a myspace page and I am somewhat familiar witht the program. Maybe I will even give my ficticious self an address and find it on google maps. Some of the other utilities we are required to use for project 3 I do not know too much about. A facebook page is probably a good idea and I suppose I will need to use one more to meet the criteria for the project.
This person is not in school and has never been, they rarely work and love to play video games and eat fast food. This person litters and is a slob, they like to watch science fiction horror movies and japanimation stuff. This person listens to rap and death metal and prefers not to leave their house much. Their qualities range from interesting to dull, from energetic to sluggish, like me but not like me....
As I understand the assignment we are supposed to develop a person and use the utilities you listed like myspace and facebook to develop this person. Is that what you want for project 3?
Ok, scratch my original plan, now that we have discussed it a little more, I would like to use the sites to express the personality of my late bull dog ;) That sounds more intersting and fun than what I had planned.

Trying to fix up Project 2

I would like to fix my links, I cant get project 2 to link from my home page and now project one is not linking either, I would also like to clean them both up a little. My site in general needs a little maintence to make it easier to find your way around. The images in project two should be centered. Oh yeah! Tomorrow is my Birthday ;)

project two....

Where am at? I have three or four pages that are linked by hot spots that are within the images, I figured out how to make an iframe, and I layered some images last Thursday, but I don't quite remember how to do it. I am having some problems uploading my project 2 files to my web page also, hopefully I will get it straightened out this Thursday.

what i need to add to project one

i need to finish my story and make the links to the other stories off of it and then link them back together. the additional writing will be finishing the story and then elaborating the details in the side stories that will be linked from the original story...my site map will include a list of all the links alphabetized by their name.
