Introduction:I have given students some credit when they created their own observations by citing it in the text. This is the section that is their depth of addressing a topic and how they do it. Also the analysis of the class serves as a reaction to the question of do students differ in the level or depth of addressing a topic? Explain how. For this section, I did a midsection report on it. I am going to do another midsection report comparing students, and then another one after that. Do they give a general observations or explanations. Do they give general observations or explanations? Do they make a conclusion? Do they merely rephrase someone else's topic or advance it? What is the role of personal experience in these e-mail messages? What are they affected by and respond to? Someone's declaration or opinion or action.

Introduction: The purpose of this site is to educate someone on how to make a good home page. Mr. Glover gives good tips on how what to use and what not to use. These tips are useful if you want a home page that is not sucky. See his suckometer.
I have to agree and disagree with Mr. Glover on some of his items. While frames can be somewhat irritating, it depends on how they are used. Frames to me show how much a person has developed using the web. I admit that frames can be irritating, for instance if you have to scroll a frame to look at something, then that can be irritating. I think background music ca n be a cool thing to add to a web site because not too many people know how to add background music or add it. Flexible widths are a good thing to have because people can adjust to see the whole picture. On the one hand, I found thumbnail pictures to be ir r itating because you have to click on it to see the whole picture. On the other hand, thumbnail pictures can be considered savvy because they save space from the actual picture. Height and width tags tell the browser how to load an image. This is my understanding of what height and width tags are. I guess these can be considered savvy because then the home page will load faster.
Scrolling Marquees can be irritating because they read at the same speed. I agree with Mr. Glover there. I do not see the p oint of having something there just so someone can read it at a slow speed. I agree that construction signs suck because it is obvious to someone that you are still working on your home page if something is not complete.. Cookie Crumbs are for information and it is a good thing that the majority of the web sites do not contain them. A cookie is a preference file for the Web. Cookies can also be added to the sucky list because they can be downright irritating. I agree that javascript alerts can be sucky bec ause if you are trying to look at a home page numerous times it can get irritating after awhile. It also takes a long time load from past experience. I was looking at a friend's home page and found the java alert irritating. I agree with Being Unique. Each home page is unique because someone different is creating them. Contact Info is also important because people need to know where to leave suggestions or if they want to e-mail you. Optional plugins can be irritating. I disagree that this is savvy. Not man y people want to download something just to get it for a few seconds.
In Dr. James article Psychological Aspects to Web Design states that building a home page is like having a second home. I agree with him here. You are building a second home if you are constructing a second home page. There are two views of home pages. The external, which consists of education and information, and an internal which includes home page construction. There are different types of links and home pages. The types of links there are: sequential (direct), reciprocal (mutual), circular (recursive), central (pivotal). The types of home pages that exist are artistic (expressive), indexical(topical), and standard (introductory).
A link is a communicative act by which a member of the community transmits new information or new meaning by connecting two independent ideas which have not been related before. Links in a virtual learning community are thus motivated actions or behaviors responding to a member's wishes to exchange and communicate their mental life to each other.
The affective feature of links refers to their motivation. It answers the question, Why the link was created, or, What was the person's purpose for putting a link there. The cognitive feature of links refers to their argument or implication. It answers the question, What new information or knowledge is being created through the link, or, What is the new idea that is communicated by the link. The sensorimotor feature of links refers to their location and appearance. It answers the question, How the link was created, or, What is its physical appearance.
Dr. James and Mr. Glover seem to be in agreement as to how to load up a home page, the shorter the better. Dr. James says not more than 10 seconds. I agree with Dr. James here because people are only human and can get irritated waiting for a home page to load up. Dr. James says that files should have a clear image of how they are interrelat ed. I also agree with Dr. James that the internet is one big file-sharing system. Cyberspace homes are always under construction for those who are doing a home page. Links are also important to hypertext technology.
A)I started in the spring of 1998. I had no knowledge of web design. I work in the college of social sciences computer center and wanted to learn how to make home pages so I signed up for Psychology 409b. I am also taking it again this semester and am learning new things such as netscape composer.
I helped myself and others by asking questions in the lab. I received help as well as gave help to others. People don\rquote t k now the difficulties in setting up a home page. You can be missing one string of characters and it will throw you off majorly. If you are missing or you will be spending a long time deleting foreign characters from your text.
I am at the stage now where I can help people with their home pages. I am also starting to use the netscape composer.
I hope to finish up my reports with links to them. I also hope to be making a navigation table soon. I also hope to finish up report 3.
My advice is do not give up and start early on your assignments. You will notice the difference when you are not pressured to put out a good report.
My advice to Dr. James is to keep teaching this course! It is an important course and relevant to modern day society. I would a lso like to encourage Dr. James to teach Html in class and the netscape composer, along with our discussions about the internet and driving. Index. This site contains articles on social psychology and is worth exploring. It goes into things like self and identity. I found it by using the excite search engine and by using the terms social psychology of web architecture. This site also has many specific items that deal with social psychology.
For links, look at generation 6 reports Generation six They have done all the work of researching already.
