Save Tibet!

Advocate: Save Tibet!
When I first started on this project I came up with the idea of advocating for teaching children how to read. I thought this was a great idea because I love reading and I believe that children should be expose to literature at a young age. So I decided to make a website dedicated to helping children read. I wanted to use Photoshop to make the website because I am really picky on how my website will look like and I didn’t really like none of the templates that I had to choose from on Google site. My only main concern was on making the website using Photoshop is that I wouldn’t get it done in time and not getting my links to work.
So I started making this really cool design for my site but when I was done I couldn’t come up with enough information to put on five pages. So after searching the Internet looking for some more information I came to the conclusion that I should change my topic. So I decided to advocate for Tibet. Really at first, I was going to do this topic, but I get so heated over it that I didn’t want to end up ranting. So the challenge I had to face when switching my topic was that I had to go back and change my design around. I was pretty upset about this because I spent a couple of hours putting everything in the right place and I just ended up basically erasing everything that I made
So in the end, I ended up making just a simple design for my site. After laying everything out, my main concern was making the slices. I always have a hard time with this because I always get turned around on how to name them properly. But after carefully making sure getting my slices right my next step is saving for the web and then finding a hosting website to host my site.
I’ve never thought that posting my site on the web would be so hard. Every site that I went to to host it would not let me upload my files. Really this is the most frustrating thing because I worked so hard and spent so much time making a website and I cant even host it on the web. I’m not really sure why this won’t work but my mom thinks that because I am working on a Mac it may not be compatible.
Regardless of my problems I am still trying to figure them out. But overall I am please with the outcome of this project because I get to create a website about a topic that I care so deeply about and I get to have fun making it by doing it my own way. I hope that more people will become more aware about the problems that are happening in Tibet and that hopefully one day an agreement will come that either Tibet will finally become free or that China will finally agree to an open dialogue and they can both work out their differences.

Reading!

here is the front page of my orginal idea of teaching reading to childern

What I am advocating for is a dialogue between the Chinese government and the Dalai Lama. As much as I want Tibet to be their own independent country it is imperative that a dialogue happens between the two because this may save the diminishing culture that China is trying to abolish. It is known that China is causing ethnocide and they should be stop for it.
The audiance that I am gearing towards is highschool students. I believe that highschool students should be more aware about what is happening around the world and also by the time they reach college they would be more open to the idea of advocating for something and being invove in what is happening in their neighborhood, country, and around the world.

Hello everyone and welcome to what my desk top looks like. I used blogger.com as a challenge for me because 1). I never made or used blogs before so this is all foreign to me and 2). I don't really care for these type of networking sites and yes that even includes facebook. The site behind blogger.com is an anime site. This is a huge problem to me because no matter what I am doing I always end up watching something. Composing change while in digital space because you have more distractions then you would while composing more in the traditional way. I guess an easier way of understanding digital composing processes is knowing the applacations or programs better and knowing how to control procrastination while on the computer.
