When I first learned that I would be responsible for creating three hypertexts throughout the quarter, I began to panic. I had no experience with web design, and did not even know what a hypertext was. Now that it is the end of the quarter, however, I am very proud of myself for what I have accomplished. At first, I had a difficult time getting comfortable with Kompozer, but bit by bit I became more comfortable with it. I also had difficulties with the creative part of creating a webpage, but I knew that I like colorful things, so I went from there, finding a colorful background, and then everything else followed. For me, writing for a hypertext was not very different than writing an essay. The only main difference was that in my hypertext, I kind had to “self advertise” my page, where as I would not do that in an essay.
Looking back, I am very proud of myself for what I have accomplished this quarter. Coming in with no web design experience, I was able to create a unique homepage and 3 hypertexts, all of which don’t look half bad. I actually plan to introduce my mom, who manages the website for our church, to Kompozer.
