Great Websites


I love learning about history and the new events of today. The National Geographic site is great for getting all of this in one spot. I also enjoy this site for the travel ideas that it gives. One of the most appealing features about this site is the fact that there are slide shows of photos on nearly every page that are intriguing and lead the eye to want more.

One of my favorite sites is Amazon because it is so simple to use. I love using it for my shopping needs. The search box is conveniently located at the top of the site to help customers find the products that they are looking for. The navigation of the site is so user friendly you can find what you are seeking very quickly.

The Beginning

A lot of the information from chapter 1 sounds familiar. I can't wait to get to chapter 2 to learn HTML Basics. This class is great - we are getting real hands on experience and there is so much to learn on this journey.
