Worst Websites

When it comes to looking at websites, I appreciate a well made and visually appealing page, but I mainly care that the information on the site is neat and organized. I also dislike when there are incredibly long loading times because things like large images and videos must load first. Also, when the site is hard to navigate I almost immediately dislike it.I also care that the website looks professional, and looks like some real effort was put into it. For example, spelling and grammar errors show a lack of effort and dedication.

One bad website I viewed was: http://art.yale.edu/

This website was terrible because it was impossible to get information, the crazy animations in the background were both strange and distracting, if I wanted to actually learn about the Yale School of Art, it would be very difficult.The colors did not match, and the website did not look professional and was one of the worst sites I've seen in a while.

http://benthebodyguard.com/index2.php was a website that me and some of my classmates did not think was bad.

The people who choose the worst websites complained that you had to scroll through a lot of graphics, all to get to the bottom. They also claimed that it had little or nothing to do with the app that it was about.

I disagree because I enjoyed the graphics.

Setting up a Wireless Network

Here is the presentation that me and Noah Mark created.

Lets Go Network Shopping!

For my "Lets go Network Shopping" powerpoint I chose to do it on a household situation that has 2 mac desktops and 2 mac laptops, all running OS X. I chose this because it is slightly similar to my actual situation with my family at home and learning a little about it could be helpful.
