I was putting a lot of time in my design project and forgot to write a blog post. Previously, I was using the .mac's free trial to publish my sites on the Internet. However, it ran out conveniently right before I was ready to upload my design project. It may have worked out for the better because I decided to go ahead and pay for my own domain name and web hosting server. It's not as expensive as I thought. I went to Network Solutions and bought a domain name and web host server for $9.95/1 month. If it goes well, I may keep both.
My domain name is www.lostkeyexpo.com, and my design site's address is lostkeyexpo.com/beats.html. I chose to do my project on the Beat Generation, which was a group of poets who were popular in the '50's. You may have heard of a few: Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs. Their work was pretty interesting, check out my site if you're interested.
I probably had the most fun with this assignment because it really forced me to think and read about the personality of not only the poets, but the era they were in. So far I feel pretty good about the design elements I chose for my site, but any kind of feedback is welcome.
