Blog Assignment #3

Just like  I sad in my previous blog post, I want to have an interactive diary for my hypertext assignment. I decided not to set it up like Mad Libs -- it was getting a bit complicated.

Instead, here's a preview of my new concept. My first scene may go something like this:

Dear diary,
It happened. Not like I didn't want it, but still. Perhaps I should have waited. My mother always warned me what would happen if I didn't. But I didn't listen. I was so thick headed back then. Now I'm paying the ultimate price

The link to "it happened" would explain what "it" was and reveal the event's further details. The link to "what would happen for I didn't" would reveal a conversation the girl had with her mother about "it" and the consequences. The link to "ultimate price" will lead to a reflection about when she found out she was pregnant. And so on and so on....

I'm actually starting to like how it's coming along. As for images, I'm not quite sure. Perhaps the main scene will be a white flower, minus all of its' pedals. It's a play on being "deflowered." Each scene will show a progression in her loss of petals.  I'm starting to collect these types of pictures on my Google Drive -- it was an easy program to download! I really like it. It reminds me of another program called Drop Box.

As for the site, I'm still playing around with it. Here's the link to my site! I accidentally forgot the "o" in demo in my site address, so I'm hoping I discover how to change it soon! I've been learning how to create new pages and checked out the neat gadgets as well! I especially love the Twitter gadget, since we've been using it for class! I like the options to insert tables and such as well!
