I agree with John, it was a great class. It was interesting to see how different everyone's sites became. Katie had it right when she mentioned how much of ourselves we put into our pages. Bravo. It's been great to work with all of you, have a great summer! Try not to let those evil rays of sunlight make you too happy ; )

Huzzah!
check out my page at http://www.shadowbushido.com
I consider this launch a success!
BUT...... I also consider this a Beta test and I have some more work to do. For instance, I need to put text into my pages that displays in the browser history. Also need to add a lot of labels to my pages for bots to pick up on and so I have some content to display on search engines.
Otherwise, cool.
Thanks everyone, you've been a great class!
Keep the blog alive!

This guy should have taken this class..
I stumbled upon this man's (Will Bryson) website recently and thought "Man is this unfortunate." He could have seriously used this web design class.
Upon carousing through his pages, you'll see the set-up is choppy, the color scheme doesn't seem to be working for it, though it really could be considerably worse. There seem to be broken links. His site is okay, but it is rather boring. Perhaps what is is that bothers me so much is that you could throw anyone's art in those boxes and call it their website just as easily. One thing I've sort of noticed in our class is that everyone here has been building a website that you can see personality put into. It's inheritly theirs. I think Will Bryson should put more of his own touch to his website.
To be fair, there are definitely positive points. His colors and setup are pretty consistent and his navigation is easy to follow (you can always get back to the first page, previous page, etc.).
Here is his website: http://www.willbryson.co.uk/
