2 days till Halloween!..I've decided to narrow my website theme to healthy eating habits. Eating right isn't all there is to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but I think that topic is too broad for my first website. It would be better to narrow the theme and go into more detail about it. I wish I could work more on my website.. but my life is pretty hectic these days. Maybe taking 21 credits was a bit too much. I do feel good about how I'm learning a lot of things this semester, though. I hope I don't end up crashing by the time finals come around.

Planning to do some major updating on my website this weekend! I'm going to start by changing my index page so that it is an approrpriate welcoming page to a site on balanced nutrition. I've already decided to narrow my theme to healthy eating. I was thinking of making about 3 or 4 pages devoted to my theme:
1.Importance of healthy eating for life, not just a short-term diet
2.How to eat nutritionally balanced meals everyday - food pyramid, recommended daily servings, caloric table
3.More info: Nutrition isn't the only part of a healthy life, but I cannot cover as much as I would like to in this site. On this page I hope to guide others in the right direction by stressing the importance of balancing mind*body*soul. I will putt up links to other comprehensive health sites that contain more information I could not include here.
This is the outline of my website. Goal: Set the framework by Tuesday!

Changed first page. The images got a bit blurry as I enlarged them, but I'll fix that when I have access to Photoshop later. I found some other images I could use for my site, too. I don't think cutesy icons go well with my theme. I'm planning to stick to small photo images. Since lines and lines of text are boring, I'll put those images here and there.

Wrote content for the healthy eating pages. After I'm done editing the text, I will insert related images, so that the page is more enticing to look at. Right now it just looks like a report. I also scanned some pictures of my friends and family, so I plan to update my "About Me"page soon.

It snowed today, but it wasn't the kind of snow that brightens the whole world up. The sky was gray and the snow melted as soon as it fell. I stayed home all day working on my website. I'm thinking of getting rid of the "More to a Healthy Life" section. I shouldn't devote an entire page to that, since I've narrowed my topic down to healthy eating. Even though my intial ambition was to make a comprehensive website on all aspects of a healthy lifestyle, I should just stick to my focus now. I hope to finish my website by tonight.. I will ask some people for feedback so that I can improve it before I submit it next Friday.

It REALLY bugs me how the Geocities' advertisements that pop up on my site are featuring diet pills. That totally goes against my whole purpose!! I wonder if there's anything I could do about it.. Ah, the woes of having a free webpage account.

Yay~ After endless editing, I'm finally finished with my website!! I like how it's very clean and simple, if I may say so myself. There's nothing fancy, just used the most basic HTML tags. I'm very proud of myself - to think, just a few months ago, HTML looked like alien language or something. Anyways.. I should be working on a paper for Korean Lit. But.. I don't feel like it. Blech. This + one more history paper, and I'm DONE! Well, not quite. I have to do the Internet English exam on Friday T_T Oh, and I forgot to update the KeyPal assignment to my site.. whoops. Well, gotta keep reminding myself: just two more days to go! :D

Uploaded my correspondance with a Key Pal on the Assignments page! I will send the final exam to professor by e-mail tonight. Now I just have to save this website onto a diskette and turn it in. I was surprised that it's only a little over 1 MB. Wow..I can't believe I finished my website! Now I'm ready to catch the holiday spirit~
