I added a video to my The Marching Virginians page and removed an image. I also added some additional text to the page and renamed it. I did minor proofreading on the About Me page, centered the square photo on the bottom, and linked it to my The Marching Virginians page. I added photo and video credits to my Site Information page and divided the information into Formatting and Media Credit sections. I also added the image that I removed from my The Marching Virginians page.

Why I Did It

The video says a lot more about the band than I can in words, and I think that a page about a performance group should include a performance. I added text that referred to the video and schedule so that the reader could find what they were looking for and have information about the performance. I changed the name to The Marching Virginians because I wanted the focus to be less on football, in the interest of focus. I added photo and video credits to the Site Information page so that I wouldn’t be plagiarizing. I divided the information into sections because the page was previously just an ugly block of text with one image, and it needed more white space. The change also makes it easier to find information. I added the image that used to be on my The Marching Virginians page because I wanted to keep the image on the site and the Site Information page needed more color and interest.

Why I Did It
I peer-reviewed to help my classmates. I worked on my table before posting my link because I had to force quit Firefox in the middle of working on it earlier in the week, and that messed up some of my code. After reading the replies to my post, I made the table headings bigger and maroon to make them stand out, and I added a 1-point border to make the table more readable (there are lots of blank spaces for future football scores, games where the band doesn’t march, etc). I plan to add more pictures to my About Me page because my blog gives me zero creative control with my header in terms of images and font choices, so I should add pictures where I can in order to give the blog a personal feel.

I worked on my About Me page. I fixed some alignment and added content. I tried to adjust the fonts, but the site wouldn’t allow me without a fee. I added a header image, but the header put a black box behind my header text, so the image was covered and did not work. I looked at widgets and decided to add one with a countdown to gameday, but I did not have sufficient time to add it. I also added all of the required pages, but I did not add content.

Why I Did It

My About Me page needed to be filled out, because it read more like a resume than a blog. I added fun things to give it personality. I wanted to add a header to make the site more personal. I wanted to adjust the font for the same reason. I planned to use the official Marching Virginians font, but I’m not willing to pay to add it. I think that a gameday countdown is relevant to my site because I am a Marching Virginian, and we all just look forward to gameday all week.
