Pages: i am really proud of the pages that i have created. each took a long time to build but i felt that eventually i was able to remember the codes and process needed without error. i was very dedicated in my goal of having over 8 pages for my work when in fact i ended up with 11. it has been a step by step learning curve that has taught me every thing from linking pages to finding help from on line companies to help me with data. - i had originally thought that it would be possible to hold this data myself- My Biggest problem: the major obstickle that i came up against was when i had registered a url with an online company as <a href="http://www.writegoodread.co.uk">www.writegoodread.co.uk</a> - this would have been alot easier to advertise had the url been this easy to remember- howerver, when it came to uploading my work i found that i hadnt the ftp code for an online file within my account i wrote to the company and in vien waited for a reply. in the end i had to use spcae on my university provider which meant that the url ended up being www.ljmu/student.ac.uk/mcajgre3. -not so easy to remember! My biggest achievement: was seeing the web site as a wrking site. as soon as i sent the emails to other jmu students to check out the work on the WGR site within half an hour results were pouring in. Aims for the future: podcasting is the next aim. as my direction of WGR is headed towards helping people with reading difficulties i want to podcast the most popular texts quarterly. also i want to continue working on the site so that i can learn more along the way. <a href="http://writegoodread.blog.co.uk/2007/05/16/evaluation~2279707/#comments">Comments</a> it was a slower process than i first imagined creating each page and i really needed step by step help from a Dreamweaver 8 guidebook. i still feel that i have alot to learn, for example flash. i would have really liked to have had a more gripping first page with motion writing of 'Write Good Read' or even having scrolling images where the image is now on the index/home page. learning how to make this site made me realise just how much work goes in to a professional site and my respect for the designers has increased emmensly.

However, I wanted to give a wide range of writing genres so that I could create a good example debut attempt. G. Crossland has her extended poem. H Todd has her collection of short poems and an example of flash poetry. finally, i inIluded my own short story so that I could evaluate the bennifits of write good read for my self. <a href="http://writegoodread.blog.co.uk/2007/05/15/title~2275325/#comments">Comments</a> We had a really goood response from the posters and emails for submission.

Theimages I chose to use come from the influence of the pictures that I chose from my poster design in which every picture related to at least one type of writing – typing/ printed word/ quill/ calligraphy etc. The hardest image to upload was my own Write Good Read logo that I created in photoshop. I intended it to blend with the background but then I found that I needed it to stand out, eventually I decided to give the logo a boarder to define it. I liked this adaptation so much that I wanted to then us it a a link logo back to the home page. In total I have set up 11 pages:- • home/index • links • podcast • profiles - Gemma Crossland - Jenny Greene - Hannah Todd >>with their own submissions >> comments page each • about us • contact the homepage is a quick intro to the site I used a Lucida Handwriting as the font so that it went with my website/notebook motif. The links page doesn’t yet have links out I wanted to create this so that viewers wuld see my intent on having links such as capital of aculture ‘08 Podcasts are not yet up Profiles page shows all existing WGR writers in a chart box with options to ‘comment here’ When the name is clicked on you can view their work as well as vistit the writers comments page. I set up the comments page using an internet source.

Ideas: There is such a high difficulty rating for getting your work published nowardays. J. K. Rowling, author of Harry Potter, for example, was rejected for years before Bookmans took on her idea. Look at where she is now. Adding to this difficulty, it is also an expencive path to get your work proof read. This consists of hard to find,. Extortionate prices. Finally, when we have submitted our work with success, had it proofread, how do we know what the public thinks of our work? Surely this is the aim… we write to be read? I want Write Godd Read to tackle all of these obstickles. Helping writes get published onto the WGR website. In return these writers will have there work proof read as well as edited by the suggestions and comments of the reading public. Beginning: How I am going to go about starting the WGR snoball effect:- Firstly, I will be hosting a WGR competition that will act as the debut of the first writers of the WGR site. For this I will need to research and design a poster. – I will need to research submission laws. – write a submission ‘basic’ sheet, as well as competion rules sheet. (see portfolio) Influences I had (see portfolio) My final design/poster- Who I am appealing to- Writers of Liverpool: where? – Local libraries/ news from nowhere/ JMU buildings/ Liverpool uni buildings/ Egg Café/ Hope uni/ LIPA These places all hold an audience of creative people that would be most likely to submit to WGR. <a href="http://writegoodread.blog.co.uk/2007/05/13/original_ideas~2263244/#comments">Comments</a> dificulty in getting published.

My final design/poster-

Who I am appealing to-
Writers of Liverpool: where? –
Local libraries/ news from nowhere/ JMU buildings/ Liverpool uni buildings/ Egg Café/ Hope uni/ LIPA
These places all hold an audience of creative people that would be most likely to submit to WGR.
