Blog about creating the home page for GFWC.  


Tell me what the GFWC does.

    They have already established 75 percent of the public libraries in the country. Developing kindergartens in the public schools, and even working for food and drug .

What is the purpose of the organization and what type of activities do they participate in?
   They donate money for charities and colleges around the country.  


What are the qualifications and requirements to be a member?  
  Minimum requirements:  You must have two or three years completion of undergraduate coursework, there must also be a familiarity with archival principles, and excellent communication and writing skills.
    
    Preferred requirements: Graduate coursework in archives administration, library and information science, or public history. Familiarity with PastPerfect collections management software and working knowledge of best practices for digitization.


Explain the type of web site you would like to create and why this would be the best type for the GFWC of Elkins.
   I'd use a type of website they have for the national webpage I forget what the name of that would be, but I think that'd be the best choice for layout of the website.

Tell me about what you have learned in the assignments using Photoshop and while researching alternate ways to create websites?
             In Photoshop I learned how to alter text to make it look better than it would alone. Feathering to make it faded around a picture. I have only found one alternate way to create websites.


  What kinds of tools are available for web page designers and what kinds of tools do they use?
   Paint brush, feathering tool, text tool, eraser. They are mostly graphics tools, and editing tools for text and pictures.


  Do you have to be a professional or hire a professional in order to make a web page?
     You do not have to be a professional or even hire one to make a web page, if you have at least some experience with Dreamweaver or another program you should be fine.


  What does this tell you about the types of websites that are available for viewing and accuracy of information?  Are you surprised at what you have learned?
     It doesn't tell me much it just, says that some creaters of web pages may not be professionally trained. I'm not too surprised but I did think it would be extremely difficult to create websites.
