I have wrapped up my post on Safari and included in said post I have summarized my evaluation of the other browsers. I have commented on other group's posts and have set up a Google Docs site at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OA88SXeBZZYJ7lCsSHwLuR_qs3N3V4LoX90HJGPcJHU/edit
where we can compile our research as well as a Google Slides site at https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/18CkJ93BsqhZt19SAtigeUX9Z9Aq9lG6f00MjXjq6ilI/edit?usp=sharing where we can make a presentation. I have added group members and Ms. Browne to the authors section of each as well as edited the Slideshow settings so that anyone with the link can comment. This should allow anyone who has the link to our blog to get the link to the Slideshow and then subsequently comment on the slideshow. I think in order to enhance our blog as per page 7 in the syllabus, we should add links to the two sites mentioned above, which I have done in a post called "Links to Our Google Docs Sources/Data and Google Slides Slideshow". In addition I think we should add some sort of template to enhance the appearance of our blog. I think the template chosen should be simply, yet engaging. I went ahead and chose one of the templates, but Sean please comment saying whether or not you're ok with this particular template. It is the orange one from the awesome section of the templates. I believe these enhancements have really improved the appearance of our blog. When reviewing the blog by clicking the "View Blog" option, I found that the last table on my first post extends outside the white area, which I didn't like. I was eventually able to change the settings of the column widths though. I had to try two different settings because one of them made another post look a bit weird. The second try worked though! I also added three gadgets to the blog: a translate button at the top, a follow by email option at the bottom, and a poll also at the bottom. I was thinking of adding a link list gadget, but since there's already a blog post with links to our Google Docs and Google Slide pages, I thought it would be redundant and detract from the blog. After looking at Group 7's blog, I added a fourth gadget, a poll to ask veiwers what their favorite browser is.
Marissa, I really like what you did with the template. It's simple yet engaging like you mentioned. In additon to the template, I went ahead and added some links as well. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I'm glad you like it. Where did you add the links? I looked on the blog and couldn't figure out where you added them and I looked on the Google docs site and was only able to see the three links you posted earlier. I will keep looking and let you know if I can find them. Did you click save changes or apply to blog or whatever the button said?
