Workshop time

Emily is our website designer and she is still working on the site. We need to start looking for pictures for our articles. I am up to speed with my articles ( so is everyone on team) that I need to submit for the group website.

For my personal site, I have two ideas: Guilty pleasures and Evolution of music. I am still researching on both so I will make my decision when I am done with the research.

work in progress ( group & individaul work)

We discussed with Steve about whether we're going to use dreamweaver or wordpress, Emily managed to download it but looking at it we've come to the conclusion that it may be that we'll have to use dreamweaver.

We discussed our individual projects with Steve, he wants an actual website now. The individaul site should be created around a theme or subject of the student choice. It only has to be small and concise but it has to have all the information you need, a original feature or two.

Feedback on progress

I am not feeling well today so I did not do much work today. I have started writing a article on tuition fees.

My team kept me up to date with what's going on and what everyone is expected to do. After the discussion of article ideas.

It was discussed that everyone is happy to produce to feature/news stories a week deadline to be tuesday 5pm.

Some of the ideas that were discussed so far are depression- studenet perspective, being away from home, money etc... signs to look out for.
Beki to do binge drinking -
Jenn -tuition fees news feature ,red paper clip/JUJU-
Emily, Beki & Katie- review irish night and photo's HEALTH AND EXERCISE - whats available for students at farnham sports centre and from uni.
Katy -healthy eating, cheap meals etc
Katie -facebook is ruining my life- Katie Thurlow -stop and shoot tomorrow

Katie our editor said to keep the ideas flowing still, to be creative and let our personality shine though our writing. The articles should be very personal to reader so that they can sense the writers personality and their humour. They need to be entertaining but getting message across whatever it is.

Individual site ideas

The topic I chose was guilty pleasures as I like to indulge in certain things that people think I should be ashamed of. 

I found dreamweaver easier to use as I learnt more things on how to use it from my team members. The group website made me feel comfortable to create my personal site with ease though I did run into difficulty when linking my website to other site but that all sorted now.

Content Management

Content management a system that manages content such as text, images, graphics, videos etc – which allows content to be produced in a structured manner according to approved corporate designs, scrutinized and approved before publication, periodically amended and updated whilst in use and edit, manage and finally publish.

Our group will look into this and see whether we can use this kind of model.
