So when I first made this post my site could only change between black and white backgrounds. Since then I have changed it to differ between white and turquoise and magenta. The reason for adding this is to express myself a little more visually. I am a person who likes to be organized in my own special way. If you do not like the theme you do not have to use it. If you have another two color combination that you like leave it in the comments and I will try them out and see what I think.
Here is the link that I used to add the theme https://editortricks.weebly.com/how-to-create-a-light-and-dark-mode-button-for-your-weebly-website.html. To change the color you will need to go into the code and add change the hex color which is in a letter / number format.

This blog will assess the four sources listed below. These sources give tips on creating a weebly website, and help to give a stronger definition to multimodal writing, and break down design into four simple steps, which are contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity, and how these four things can help you create something that is very appealing to the eye.
How to Create a Weebly Website (Video Tutorial) All Writing is Multimodal (Cheryl Ball and Colin Charlton) It's All C.R.A.P: Four Principles of Design (Think Around Corners) Assessing Multimodal Student Work (Kent State University) Why are we creating a website for our English Composition I course? We are creating a website to act as our personal portfolio to hold everything that we are writing in our english course and beyond. How do Ball and Charlton define "multimodal" writing? Ball and charlton define multimodal as two words combined together, the first being multi- or many, and the second being modal meaning style. So multimodal is writing that has different styles incorporated in it. Do you agree with Ball and Charlton when they claim "all writing is multimodal"? I do agree for the most part that all writing is multimodal. While some writing such as poems are strictly poems following a format, but other authors use their own influence to change the style of writings between two different modes. As a web site author who will create your own web page content in this course, how would you rank the importance of the five modes on a scale of 1-5? Please provide a brief rationale to support each mode ranking. 1 Aural: If everyone spoke in a monotone voice nothing would have a tone or any meaning behind it, and it would be quite hard to remember anything as you would stop paying attention. 2 Visual: Visual writing allows the reader to picture in their head what is happening in the story as it happens to the narrator or main character. 3 Gestural: Gestures allow the author to add emphasis to their writing by adding hand gestures or even moving about to keep your attention. 4 Linguistic: Linguistic writing allows for the author to convey his or her thoughts on paper which is not always the most important thing as you can write a compare and contrast essay or create a Venn Diagram and both of these methods convey the same information. 5 Spatial: Spacial writing just refers to the physical placement of a body of writing which I do not see as the most important aspect. What does the C.R.A.P. acronym stand for? C.R.A.P. stands for contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity. As a web site author who will create your own web page content in this course, how would you rank the importance of the four C.R.A.P. principles of design on a scale of 1-5? Please provide a brief rationale to support each design principle ranking. On a scale of 1-5 I would rank alignment and proximity as a 1 being the highest as when things are placed to close together or are very scattered it makes it hard to focus on the page. I would rank contrast at 3 because if your page is all the same it will start to get dull to look at. Repetition I would rank as a 4 or 5, when you begin to repeat the same things over and over they begin to dull the impact of anything. What are the seven sample criteria Borton and Huot suggest writers use to assess a multimodal composition? Borton and Huot suggest these seven criteria to assess a multimodal writing. Purpose, audience, tone, organization, transitions, synthesis, and details. Do the Borton-and-Huot criteria seem similar or different from the criteria we would use to assess a traditional print essay? Why or why not? The Borton-and-Huot criteria seem very similar to how we judge our traditional essays. Many rubrics look for tone, organization, transitions, details, and our focus - which combines audience and purpose. Hey everyone! Welcome to my blog, which will follow my journey through the English Composition class. This post of a bit of an introduction to let you all know a little bit more about me, you can read how I answered my Proust Questionnaire, and even fill your own out!
__1.__What is your idea of perfect happiness? Happiness for me would be laying in bed on a rainy Saturday afternoon and watching Star Wars or listening to music. __2.__What is your greatest fear? My Greatest fear would be being alone. While it is something I also enjoy, it is only good in moderation, too much of being alone becomes depressing. __3.__What is the trait you most deplore in others? One trait that I deplore in others is lying. Anyone who takes the time to go around my back and deceive me does not deserve any of my time __4.__What is your greatest extravagance? My greatest extravagance would be music products and accessories, as I enjoy most music and I am currently looking into getting a record player. __5.__What is your current state of mind? I am currently at a balance of moods. I feel happy, yet sad, as well as excited and nervous. As I fill out this questionnaire I am texting with my Girlfriend who is the one person in this world who makes me very happy, every time I think about her I smile and my day gets a whole lot better. I am also excited because I am having a movie night with my closest friend, he is the one who has been there for me. I cannot place where these sad and nervous thoughts are stemming from, today has been good, it's a Friday and we have a long weekend. __6.__What do you consider the most overrated virtue? There are two virtues that I see as overrated, these being prudence, and fidelity. Prudence is very similar to that of common sense and wisdom. I see that as more of a character trait because not everyone has common sense or wisdom. Fidelity is just a blend of the other virtues, so you may just as well take out the other virtues and have fidelity be the only one or take fidelity out. __7.__On what occasion do you lie? I don't lie often, but when I do it's usually because I have done something that I was not supposed to do. __8.__What do you most dislike about your appearance? I dislike the size of my body, I am slightly overweight and it is hard to keep the pounds off. I Have a sweet tooth and love to eat. __9.__Which living person do you most despise? I do not despise many people because everyone is allowed to have their own opinion and it is wrong to judge people based upon their opinions. __10.__Which words or phrases do you most overuse? I mostly overuse slang words that replace greetings such as dog - referring to my friends, and bruh - as a reaction towards something __11.__What or who is the greatest love of your life? The Greatest love of my life is Music followed at close second by my girlfriend who makes me very happy, and that I am very lucky to have. __12.__When and where were you happiest? I am happiest in many places, but the types of happy are different depending on who I am with and where I am. But the two places that I am the happiest over all is when I’m hanging out with my closest friends or spending time with my Girlfriend. __13.__Which talent would you most like to have? I would love to be able to read music and play guitar. I can sing, and I play Percussion but I would much rather play guitar. __14.__What do you consider your greatest achievement? I consider my friends as my greatest achievement, not them as people but the bonds that we have with each other and how we all trust one another. __15.__If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be? If I were to die and come back as a living thing I would come back as a wolf, I do not see myself as someone who can go it alone, I need a ‘pack’ to help me through it, but I am also very faithful and loyal __16.__Where would you most like to live? I would most like to live in the Irish Country-side as I have been there many times and it is beautiful. __17.__What is your most treasured possession? My most treasured position currently is my cassette player and cassettes as they are a different style of listening to music compared to streaming through spotify. __18.__What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery? The lowest depth of misery is being lied to and deceived by someone who you trusted. __19.__What is your favorite occupation? My favorite occupation although i have never worked officially in the field is aircraft engineering. The thought of being able to fix airplanes and design new ones is a really cool thought in my head. __20.__What is your most marked characteristic? Honesty is one of my most marked characteristics. I can be brutally honest at times, giving feedback that isn't always wanted. Around some people I will sweeten it up a bit and make it less of a harsh impact. __21.__What do you most value in your friends? I most value truth and honesty in my friends. Especially when it is about my appearance or opinions. __22.__What is it that you most dislike? I do not dislike many things but my biggest pet peeve is people who expect me to do their work for them. __23.__What is your greatest regret? My greatest regret is taking a year to realize how bad for me my first friend group was. __24.__How would you like to die? I personally would like to die not due to natural causes, but instead I would like to go skydiving without a parachute. In my last few minutes I would like to listen to Father and Son by Cat Stevens, and think about all of the good times that I have had. __25.__What is your motto? Shit happens and there ain't nothing you can do about it. |
