Analyzing Previous Interrogations of Interfaces

The websites that we looked at that interrogated interfaces were quite good. All of them had pros and cons but their overall websites were impressive.

Choosing interface for Project 3

Digital Vaults was one that interested me when I first visited the website. I enjoy learning about history and their website has a very attractive interface that seems like it will be fun to explore and learn to navigate.

First Post

What I Did? I simply listened and made sure that I set up my blog correctly. Why I did it? I  missed class on Monday and misread the directions on our class website, and for once, it worked out in my favor because I ended up creating my blog last night. I was worried about…
