As a group on Tuesday 24th November we visited the CLC centre in order to learn how to use a programme called iWeb. We was taught how to create our own webpages and also creating games that can be played on them.
Tuesday 4th February
Today we altered the website again slightly, i asked the group what they thought of the colour on the homepage, we decided to change it to something more plain.
when looking over 'Andrea's Diary' i felt as though it was very plain and basic, Natalie M agreed and so we tried to think of something different to add, i came up with the idea of putting stars on two of the sides of the page, i experimented with the amount of points on the stars i wanted, i added shadows to highlight th
em more, we couldn't find a way of adding colour but the shadows gave a good effect.

People present:
Me, Thegla and Natalie N.
We all experimented on our own computer practicing and experimenting on what was available. We got our work saved onto Cd's and went back to school. however once we had got back and attempted to retrive our work it only came up as a picture so we was unable to edit it further.
So we came to the decision on making a new website together at school, so combining all of our developed skills and techniques we began on deciding which templates and colours to use, I drew out a plan for what styles and fonts we wanted and we began designing.

The downside of iweb is that we can only use the computer that we started on, there isnt a way of saving our work and moving it somewhere else, so the time we have to work on our website is limited to school hours only.

Today i had a look at what the girls had been up to with the website, i gave my input with some of the designs and colours and booked in a day i was going to do some too. We have character pictures which are hyper linked to their pages, which say their favoroute colours, foods, films and music, it also outlines their character type in the soap and has a small gallery of on and off set pictures.
We also added competitions where people can win a day on set and meet the soap characters. This helped it look realistic and can help draw in people from different age ranges.

Today Me and Natalie M stayed behind after school for a few hours to add a few more things to the website, we discussed colour and font, i suggested to change the font to "Bradley Hand ITC" i felt that this looked nicer than just Arial and it looked more appropriate for a young audience. We also decided to change the colour of the titles to red, this stood out more drawing in attention to the important points on our page.

Tuesday 2nd February
Today as a group we went through the website again, everybody gave their input, i asked other people in the class what they thought and if they think i should change anything on it. i took in all useful comments and applied it as much as i could.
When looking at the pages i felt as though they seemed empty, i decided to put speech bubbles on the characters pages, i wrote comments from the real characters and quotes that best represented the characters, this helped fill up the pages, making them look more interesting and allowing the viewers/fans to get a real understanding of the characters aswell as the people who they are played by.
