http://www.wordpress.com, or http://www.xanga.com. Follow their instructions to
establish your own blog. Your blog could be a place to note Web sites that you find
useful or interesting. You might report on sites that contain useful Web design
resources. You might describe sites that have interesting features, such as com-
pelling graphics or easy to use navigation. Write a few sentences about the site that
you find intriguing. After you begin to develop your own sites, you could include
the URLs and reasons for your design decisions. Share this blog with your fellow
students and friends. Display your page in a browser and print the page. Hand in
the printout to your instructor.
