Evaluating Websites

While I was looking around on Google Gulp some of the links were broken. At the bottom by the Google 2011 some of the links listed were not available.Also the website was confusing.The second website was lated updated in 12/23/08 which was over three years ago. On the other three websites the first one about Mankato was  not updated recently and it had lots of old information on it like from 1996. The second website about Mankato was my favorite because it was recently updated and it had a nice and organized website. Also all of the links were not broken, they were easy to access. The third website on Mankato was on wikipedia which would be a good place to start  because it gives you the links to the websites where they goot the information from. Wiki's are good place to get an idea on the information you will need, but they are not a good place to rely on information on.

Citation

Out of the three websites my favorite would have to be EasyBib. I think EasyBib was the easiest to understand because it had clear messages on what to do and it had 58 options to choose from. Citation Machine was confusing to use because the font was extremely small and the words were all near each other. SourceAid had many choices to choose from but the reference part was very confusing. Some choices in the reference were strange and confusing like, annotation or sponsoring organization.

Theodore Roosevelt Timeline

Theodore Roosevelt

On November 5^th, 1912 Theodore Roosevelt lost his third election to Woodrow Wilson.  He spent the winter time with his wife and daughter at Sagamore Hill. A year later when Roosevelt was 55 he and a group of men went on a journey to Brazil. They went to Brazil to go see Theodore’s son Kermit, and explore the River of Doubt. The men brought along a famous explorer, Candido Rondon. Theodore cut his leg on a boulder which then progressed into a deadly infection. When they were in the rain forest it became easy for the cut to become infected. At the time he had also suffered from malaria.  When Roosevelt returned home he never fully recovered back to his normal heath state.

Things i am thankful for

1. An avatar is a character that you can create online. You can make it look like your self or you can make it look like something else.
2. Someone might use an avatar in personal life when they are creating a account online. Someone in educational career or business, if you want to work with computers and video games.
3. No
4. Of the 3 avatars I liked Clay Yourself because they looked more real and they had more choices for the hair and things like that. Also I liked it because it was easy to use

Feed Readers

I have been working on two new Feed Reader websites called Google Readers, and bloglines. My favorite out of the two would have to be Google Readers because it is and looks less complicated.  Google Readers was more put together and organized while bloglines was unorganized, and confusing. Google Readers also is clearer on where I can search, save, and share items while I had no idea how to work bloglines.  Lastly for Google Readers when you needed help, the button was easy to access while on bloglines I could not even find one.
