What is a website wireframe? Explain. If you don't know what it is, look it up. Find an image online to place on your blog that represents a website wireframe and how they work.

A website wireframe is the "skeleton" of a website. It lacks all of the special elements of the website, the fancy things! But people normally use this just to see what the layout will look like, the logistics of everything! This is so that companies can arrange their website before they actually put everything together and try to add of the nit-picky things of a website.

Tell me about your weekend. Go.

This weekend was, once again, filled with musical theatre! On Saturday, we had an all day rehearsal for the musical, "42nd Street". The rehearsal was from 9AM-4PM. It was our first rehearsal with a live pit orchestra! It was awesome! We even managed to get through the whole show. We blocked my big number as well, "Shuffle Off To Buffalo". It is my favorite song because I really get to be over the top and fun the whole time. This is a picture from that scene! 

Then on Sunday I went to church and then to KC A Cappella rehearsal for a couple hours! I love going to those rehearsals. My weekends are normally filled with musical things and I love that!

What do you find the most confusing and frustrating part of web design and HTML code so far? What would make it easier? What don't you understand? What do you understand? Explain yourself.

I understand all of the coding, the only thing that is frustrating for me is having to remember it all. I know how to do it all but when I am given a blank webpage, I do not know what to do from memory. I think coding is easy to pick up and it is easy to put down but I have trouble remembering what does what and all of the different codes. But I really enjoy it!

Tell me all about your 3 day weekend! Share photos.

Over the weekend I didn't really do much. The majority of the time, I slept. I needed this sleep because I haven't been getting much sleep recently. It was awesome catching up on it! I did get to hag out with my girlfriend as part of the weekend though! Her family is moving houses so I was helping them pack up their boxes and start moving! But after a while we got tired of doing that so we decided to put in a movie and chill!

My name is Jeremy Jacobs and I am involved in a lot of stuff! The activities and clubs I am involved with are Marching Band, Symphonic Band, Chambers, Chorale, STUCO, and the Musicals/Plays. As you can tell, I am involved with a lot of Music! Music is my favorite thing to do!

I am a sophomore! My favorite class is Chambers! And my favorite teacher is Mrs. Marsha Moeller, the choir teacher. This year I am looking forward to being in more shows and getting more chances to perform with all of the groups I am involved with in and out of school. I am also looking forward to being one step closer to graduating and going to college!

Always be nice
Be considerate towards others
Call people nice names
Don't hit people with your car
Everyday is a day to be nice
Fevers aren't fun, go make people who have them, feel better
Give money to the poor
Hand shakes are better than high-fives
Instead of being a bad person, be a good person
Jealousy is never a good thing
Kids aren't stupid, let them know
Let the other person feel the glory
Make someone's day
No one should be made fun of
Obviously, it is better to be nice
Probably should not kill something
Quit is not a word you should ever use
Realize that the world does not revolve around you
Support the elderly
Try to smile at all times
Understand when someone is hurting
Very kindly talk to people who need your help
Word choice is very important
Xylophones have pleasant sounds
Yellow can make you happy
Zebras can be the best friends

What are your thoughts on this class so far? Easy? Hard? Informative? Frustrating? What have you learned so far? What do you want to learn? Explain yourself.

I really enjoy this class so far! I love working on computers so this is fun for me! Also, I really enjoy classes that aren't too hard for me. I am picking up on the coding and blogging very easily. It is informative, but I don't find coding very interesting. Even so, I have enjoyed the class so far! I have learned way more about coding than I knew before. I didn't know anything about coding before walking into this classroom but now I know a lot! I want to finish codecademy and actually understand what I am doing. I don't want to just breeze through it.

Tell me about your weekend. What did you do? Upload a photo to your Google Drive and then insert the photo (or photos!) to your blog post to show me what all you did.



This weekend was filled with musical theatre for me. The weekend started out with a 4 hour rehearsal for the musical at BVHS, "42nd Street!" We accomplished so much in this rehearsal!



Then I went to a voice lesson where I worked on techniques that I needed to sing my songs in "42nd Street" to the best extent. That night I went to see a show! I saw my all time favorite musical, "Dogfight" at the Just Off Broadway Theatre. This show is a beautiful, but sad show that follows a marine as he falls in love with someone he should not. They performed the show well, but had a few hiccups and mistakes that were evident. I enjoyed the performance, but because the show is my all time favorite musical, it didn't live up to my standards.



Musical Theatre is my favorite thing to do, see, and be a part of, so this weekend was a blast!

Read this small newspaper clipping and then write a blog post about it. What are your thoughts? How does it make you feel? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.

I agree partly with John Tapene, but do agree fully with him. I do agree that teenagers need to get out into the world. We need to get off our butts and do something with our lives. We all ask about what we can do and where we can go, but then we go right back to our homes and are unproductive with our lives. If we really want to know what we can do, we have to go out there and try new things, make mistakes, and just stop being the generation that is unable to part from their cells phones, televisions, and video games. I do not agree with him when he says that we need to grow up and stop bring cry babies. Yes, we are important, and we do need to give our share to the world, but sometimes the best productivity and creations come from the cry babies and the children. We need to use what we have and be ourselves when we are creating and helping. If you are a cry baby; that's great! Be yourself, but use that to your advantage. Children, don't grow up! Embrace who you are and use that to help the world. We shouldn't force people to "grow up" when really, that will just be them putting on facade and trying to be someone who they are not! The best productivity comes when we are trying to be ourselves and thinking like ourselves.
