Creating a Web Site

I really enjoyed creating a Web Site for my imaginary company the "Theatre Ensemble 4 Students." Although the layout the site gave us was incredibly simplistic, it still allowed us enough space to be creative. Google sites seems to be a truly valuable tool- despite the long URL names it forces its sites to have. Actually, that seemed to be the major downfall of Google sites. I don't see how any practical company could ever want to use it seeing at the URL names are far too long and have too much information in them.

None the less, I enjoyed making my site. I found the different elements one could add in them fascinating. Although I didn't add any very "fancy" to my site, I still believe it is colorful and interesting enough to have someone want to look at and actually learn something from.

Setting up the Blog

Despite having read other people's blogs in the past, I found setting up my own fairly frustrating...

While creating the blog URL name, pages kept coming up saying things like "Bad Request" and that the name I was trying to use was already taken. So I kept clicking the back button to get rid of the bad request page or to pick a new name. Apparently, every time I clicked back and tried to correct the problems I was having, I was making a new blog. So when I finally finished and got to the page I wanted, I had about four blogs, instead of just one.

I finally found a way to delete the other blogs I didn't want though, and hopefully working with other elements of this blog will be easier.
