This website does a great job at promoting the advantages of using the web as a medium for customer service. While it is cheaper using this method, it also makes accessibility so much easier.

NPR does a great job at listing the benefits of using a video resumes as opposed to on paper. The big understanding is that video resumes stand out and can let the employer know just who you are.

This organization is striving to provide the public with a better understanding of the internet and it's new media communication. The layout is pretty easy to read with posts listed on the main page that links to articles relating to some issue of new media.

Alright I know we're only suppose to share two sites to the group but I found a third one that applies to our blogs unlike my last post. This article describes so many ways between choosing your theme, going with your gut, knowing your audience, and so much more. Overall my favorite article I found.

So this article may not apply to our class blog but it can help anyone with their personal blog. The article describes that advertisement is the biggest way to increase traffic and get your name out there!

The best eye-catching quality to a blog is of course the design layout. So naturally one of the websites I picked as my favorite way to improve my blog is a free template layout. Enjoy!

This was a really interesting article that goes over the reason for digital documentation and the advantages it brings. It mostly deals with photography documentation but I think it is relevant with my project #1 using picnik.

This article does a good job at highlighting Microsoft's Word processor to use online documentation. The beginning seems more like an advertisement for Word but after digging in a little deeper you'll find some value.

This is a good university article discussing the aspects of the classification of an online document. It goes into the qualities and how it may be less distinguished than it's paper copy form. The reason I find it relevant to our material is that it covers the history of how we went from documents to 'documentation'.

This was another interesting site for copyrighting; it shows 10 different common myths that are thought about for copyrights. It also covers issues involving fair use as well.

This website has a couple really cool videos that details how Creative Commons started and some more on some of the features they implement. Definitely worth checking out.

This is my favorite online writing resource by far. Purdue created an interactive module that you can go through to learn several different formats of writing. This covers APA, MLA, and CMS styles of writing and also has numerous tutorials on general writing, teaching, research, job search writing and more. The module that most concerns our project is the Visual Rhetoric module. It gives ideas on how to apply colors, visuals, fonts, and designs to incorporate into displays.

I like this set of instructions because it provides a touch of humor with each step. Now I know everyone in this class are not grouchy people but I'm sure we all live busy lives.

Yahoo has been around for the longest time in the online world so naturally their layout is one not to be touched. C-Contrast- does a great job of moving articles to attract attention to the center of the page R- Repetition- the site keeps the same theme of headers throughout their articles and pages A-Alignment- text is aligned to the left hand side P-Proximity-different types of news clusters are separated by boxes and space

The Phoenix, and in general every location, craigslist website is prone to the repetition guideline of CRAP; every column is listed in only a blue hyper-link. When you pull up a certain category, every listing is also in blue hyper-link and there is no bolding what so ever.

Forgot to emphasize, the layout of craigslist helps to understand what not to do when designing a site's look.

While I know wikipedia is looked down upon in the academic community, it also is a combined effort of individuals publishing together from numerous nations. The front page also presents the divide in published articles from those nations. With anyone able to publish information, it can create a new identity for users to be perceived in the online community.

This is an interesting link from someone's blog that lists off numerous sites and details which one's allow more user interactivity.
