E-Journalism

---

Today was the first class of Publication project with Rob. Within the first hour of the class we discussed internship possibilities, what we were doing next year, and what idea we have stemmed up for our project.
It was helpful to have the talk that some were dreading. Then we got into web design again- how to upload things onto the web was the main theme.

There are many factors to a website. It consists of a header and a footer and a core which is the centre of the page. Deciding what kind of website that you want to have has proven difficult time and time again for the E-Journalism class.
There are sites called open source or freeware sites. These run based on collaboration of people. These people act on the site as administrators for the site, thus meaning they can change or alter anything on the site as they wish.
This type of site has a lot of advantages because it has so many administrators that everything can be looked at by a different set of eyes- who have the authority to change it. However, the website is always undergoing change because of all its administrators.

Tomorrow the class gets to create their own site to upload our own work.
Should be fun!
