What is a website wireframe? Explain. If you don't know what it is, look it up. Find an image online to place on your blog that represents a website wireframe and how they work.

A wireframe is a tool one would use when making a website to simply show them what their website looks like. It can be described as the blue prints to a website. It shows how the website can be navigated and clicking what brings you to what other link. People use them for their initial brainstorming, before they actually make the website.

Finish this sentence "10 years from now I will be...."

10 years from now I will be 26. Because that's how time works. As time goes by, you get older. Really I don't like thinking about my future because it scares me, but I guess I will have a job.

Tell me about your weekend. Go.

I had a pretty snazzy weekend. I started with a trip to Chipotle with my besties Regan and Linnea. Next I got home and went straight to a concert at my church that my parents wanted us to go to (that part wasn't very snazzy) it was kinda lame but I mean, what ever. Saturday I went bowling with my grandpa, I don't really enjoy bowling or my grandpa so that was a bit of a downer. Then I went with Regan to the JoCo Library to finish some APEuro, that was a blast *sarcasm*, but afterwards we went to Sonic and bought some tots and a drink ans talked, and that was actually fun. Then I come home and do some more homework. Sunday I go to church. Then my family heads over to Dicks Sporting Goods to buy things for skiing. Then I head over to Josie's house. I meet up with Maddie and Sarah and we go to Winter Jam, it was super duper fun. Then I got home at 12:30 and went to bed.

They would be a good for nothin' lazy bum. I had to work for my wealth, all they gotta do is cry to their mama! I walked up those hills both ways YA HEAR?!

What do you find the most confusing and frustrating part of web design and HTML code so far? What would make it easier? What don't you understand? What do you understand? Explain yourself.



I think the most confusing part is remembering all the codes and what everything means. I always forget what goes inside the <a> tag to make something a link and what you do to style things, like don't forget the "" and such. I would make it easier if there was like a key on the side or something of all he important tags and stuff. I understand most of it, its more of the remembering part that I struggle with. I understand how you need to put an end tag and I understand most of the stuff.

Tell me all about your 3 day weekend! Share photos.

This weekend started right after school on Friday. I was kind of sad because I didn't get to run on Friday and it was an AMAZING day outside. Instead I had to go to my friends Regan's house to record our spanish presentation with Juliann. Next she came over to my house once Juliann went home and she was supposed to stay over but she had to leave at 9 because of volleyball. Saturday was homework day. My cat and dog sat super close together and I got a picture of it because it was super cute. Then I got bored and did random stuff. That night I watched Saturday Night Live and then went to bed. Sunday morning I went to church at a different church because my mom wanted to go to church with my neighbor. We played outside a lot. I went to youth group that night and my friend Sarah came over. We hung out and watched 17 Again. Monday morning we went to go eat at Price Chopper. Then we came back and made some root-beer with my mom and sister. Then we painted our nails. When she left I sang happy birthday to one of my best friends Linnea. That night I watched Scorpion.

Tell me a little bit about yourself and your life here at BVHS. What activities or clubs are you involved in? What year are you in school? What is your favorite class and/or teacher so far this year? What are you looking forward to this school year? Include some original photos from your phone if you can.

I am in sophomore year of high school. I get all A's. I'm not trying to sound pretentious, but giving you an idea of who I am. I'm that person during group work who does my fair share (and more) of the work. I am involved in Cross Country which I love. They are my family and I love 'em!! Also in the spring I am involved in Track, because I like to keep up my running. I run the two mile (8 laps) around the track. Sucks a bit more than Cross Country but its good to still get together with the team. I take Honors Algebra 2 with Mrs. Volz and I really like her personality and the way she teaches. I was really scared about APEuro because on my schedule it said I was going to have a teacher who was actually going to leave. I was kind of bummed becasue I have only heard good things about him. Then I got Mrs. Whitten and I am so happy I did. She is a wonderful person and teacher, and really keeps the class interesting.  For HELA I also got a really good teacher, Mrs. Knueven. Again she is not only a wonderful teacher, but person as well, and I was so lucky to get her. This year I really got the good end of the spectrum (teacher wise) and I have been having a nice easy year. I'm looking forward to Track season, but I'm also a bit worried about it.

Always say please and thank you
Be considerate of others
Coping doesn't help you learn
Dreams are wishes your heart makes
Eat without concern
Follow your heart
Go the distance
Hakuna matata
If you cut down a sycamore tree you will never know how high it can grow
Jokes are funny
King- be mighty and beware
Let it go
My oh my what a wonderful day (look at the positive side)
No man is worth the aggravation
Once you find your center, you are sure to win
Paint with all the colors of the wind
Quiet sleep is always pleasant
Run through the hidden pine trails of the forest
Snowman building is a fun activity to do with sisters
Tranquil as the forest, but on fire within
Under the sea is where it's better
Victoria is the best (don't ever forget it)
Wait your love will find you
X is super hard to make a word with
You've got a friend in me

What are your thoughts on this class so far? Easy? Hard? Informative? Frustrating? What have you learned so far? What do you want to learn? Explain yourself.

My thoughts on this class so far are that it is a fairly easy class, if you pay attention to the teacher and follow along it is not hard at all. Some of the codes are hard to remember, but those are just things I will need to memorize as the class moves on. It is pretty informative, explaining how websites are actually formed and such. So far I have learned how to set up a blog, how to customize my blog, how to post, and customize those posts, how to add pictures using he image's URL, and a ton of different things on Codecademy. I don't know what I really want to get from this class, just a greater knowledge of computers and how to customize websites and such. I didn't really know what this class was about until I stepped foot in it so I didn't have a predetermined want of what to learn.

Tell me about your weekend. What did you do? Upload a photo to your Google Drive and then insert the photo (or photos!) to your blog post to show me what all you did.

This weekend started after school on Friday. I went out for a run with my friend Shelia. Afterward I went home and finished some homework. Then after dinner my other friend Linnea came over with McDonalds and we had an after dinner snack. She left and I went to bed. Next day nothing big happened. My sister and I had a makeover session (I make over her face and she gets to pick out some clothes to wear) after awhile she got a bit crazy. Sunday I went to church and we just hung around. I got a new lunchbox (Vera Bradley one that I have been wanting). We re-watched "42" (the movie) and it is really good!!! Then I went to bed early because I have to wake up early on Mondays to cross train in the fitness center.

Read this small newspaper clipping and then write a blog post about it. What are your thoughts? How does it make you feel? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.

I, being a teenager, find this a bit like it is asking too much of us. But, thinking harder, I realize that it is very true. My feelings are a bit mixed because my teenage, immature and lazy self, is telling me he is crazy, but my mature an the productive part of me agrees with what he is saying. A lot of teenagers, especially in JoCo, expect everything to be just handed to them. They want the new iPhone 6 plus, they are going to get it, and if they don't you will hear them spit out complaint after complaint on how they didn't get the next big thing. We teenagers need a kick in he butt. We need to be told to shut up, and work for something. You're bored? Go and do something productive! It is not the job of our parents to give us fun and it's definitely not the world's job to give you everything. If you just sit there waiting for life to get better, NEWS FLASH it's not going to; you need to get up, get out, and go get it.
