November 29, 2000. Today I asked Katie LaMonica to look at my website, I have asked her a few questions about my website. I asked her review my website's "beta" release.
1. How easy was my website to "surf", was it self-explanatory?
2. How was the interface, did it look cool? or did it suck?
3. Were you using Netscape? Or Microsoft Internet Explorer? -- If you were using Netscape it looks worse.
4. How many pages did you look at?
5. Did you find the information "useable," did you sit around and talk about it with your friends afterwards? or did you show someone while you were looking at it?

She answered:
All right, the website was very easy to surf. It was self-explanatory even to me who is the biggest computer illiterate person alive. I was in Netscape, and it looked okay to me, I bet it looks real cool in Microsoft. I looked at about 15 pages; I didn't have time to look at all of them, sorry. I told my roommate about it and how amazed I was. My roommate looked at it and said it was really cool. There are your answers.

The reason I did this exercise is to see if I am following my research. See, anyone can research a topic, but I am striving to use my research (of making a website) and attempting to actually make a good website. Therefore, this will be my last journal entry, and I will devote the rest of my scheduled FYS time to preparing and debugging my website. ~
