Roots: and Extension of Growth: a Progress Report

I think I finally have completed the overall skeletons of my wix site exemplifying personal writings from years past. My last update was talking about aesthetics in relation to creating and overall solid ethos for what I am trying to accomplish. I think I have done a pretty good job of that, and now I'm pressing on to finish up the basic components of the homepage, and the subpages. I just have to complete the links, and actually application of remediation before doing some finishing touches and edits. Then I think it will be complete! Though it may not match my beginning draft and map to a 'T', it certainly is beginning to take shape into being something I will continue long after this class is done.

Remediation Project Update

I am having a blast putting my wix site together. The greatest challenge I am presented with this week is creating a solid feel and ethos persay, of my website. Some of my content is more serious, while some is very lighthearted. Reconciling these thematic moods within one website is providing me with plenty of thought and work to creating a consistent feel not only for content, but also for the wholistic picture of my concept.

My Project Update

This project is proving to be a little bit more difficult for me to focus due to the magnitude of what I actually desire to do. The most challenging part is consolidating my information and number of documents to organize them for my wix page. I really enjoy using wix and the presentation flexibility it will give me, but much of this week will be spent putting my documents together and organizing them.

Document to Web Remediation Idea

I have spent much time thinking about what exactly I would enjoy doing with the responsibility of being able to publish electronically the writings I have kept so close to my heart.  After much deliberation on what exactly I want to remediate, I decided that many of my personal journal narratives would prove to be not only artistically, but literarily valuable in this assignment. Though it requires a certain amount of exposure, I would love to illustrate through writing the overwhelming real-life narrative of my testimony to the world. I am kind of torn between formats, which will clearly take greater form as time continues. I do want to develop this project (most likely through wix) into a website specifically for those whom need the encouragement of knowing that someone else has struggled through life and made it out alive. I would love to be able to take this concept of 'Roots' from this blog and translate that over to an entire website, that could very possibly grow into some type of webzine by the time I am finished with it. I have always enjoyed the idea of daily publications of academically practical advice, and now I'm excited to get an opportunity to see that come to fruition.
