The Roadblocks
• Very few, if any, roadblocks throughout the
semester
• Entire experience was smooth sailing, just a
significant amount of work
The Successes
• Overall, both of us have been very pleased with
how the site has come out
• A huge amount of attention to detail went into
making sure that everything on the site fit really
well thematically
• The aggregation system, a huge roadblock in
one of my projects 2 semesters ago was
implemented incredibly easily this time
The Take-home
• This semester I managed to get a lot of practice
in with my CSS3 skills
• Had to learn a bit more HTML to get
everything in top shape
The Loves & Hates
• Pretty much any task related to web design was
quite a bit of fun
• I had a decent amount of leeway this semester to do
what I thought would look good and I am happy
with the end result
• The non-web design related tasks were fairly
monotonous
• Cleaning up the tag cloud, verifying links, etc.
