For Monday's class, come prepared to execute the homepage of your website – I want everyone to have a draft of their homepage done by the end of Monday's class. For that to happen, by the start of Monday's class, you should have:
1. Picked a host/template to use.
2. All the written content for that homepage drafted (and spell-checked!)
3. Any images or videos you are intending to use on hand.
If you are creating a blog for this class, then instead of content for a homepage, come with content for your first blog post.

Homework for Wednesday, March 4
For Wednesday's class, I want you to make a post on this blog, listing out all the elements you need to have for the official "launch" of your website. Divide the list between "content" and "functionality" – and here's an example of the sorts of things that might apply to each:
1. Content
Text for:
Intro Page
About Me Page
Captions for items in Store
Photos for:
Intro Page
About Me Page
Portfolio page
Shopping Cart
Video for:
Intro Page
2. Functionality
Photo portfolio slideshow
Commerce/Shopping App
Map this to your wireframe/flowchart - it's intended to be a checklist for what you'll need to gather/develop, and what sorts of things you might need to integrate into any template you might use.
