Blog Assignment

Here is my blog assignment from last week.

Class 9 Assignment

The registration, posts, and comments all seem to be working correctly.

The two things that still need to be worked on are:
1.) using Ajax to make the site more user-friendly
2.) formatting - because although fully functional, this is the uglist blog ever made.

Final Project - Wireframe

Below is the wireframe for my final project.

The project is based on the NYC Subway System, and anyone who's ever wondered what's immediately outside a certain stop. Is there a Starbucks? An ATM? Which ATM? With this site you can know before you go.

This will primarily be a database driven site relying largely on user-submitted content. Since everyone is an immediate expert on the area next to their home subway station, each user will be given a "station of expertise."

Since the major content will be submitted by users, my work on the project will focus on setting up the database, templates for all the pages, and the user registration/submission process. I will submit my own content for a small section of stations to use as an example in the presentation.
