The final assignment for this course is the HTML webpage. After much debate I decided to use Google Sites to create my electronic portfolio. I really liked the background and simplicity of the Google site. Also, with all my courses, homework, graduation, and getting everything ready for interviews, I really didn’t have as much time to devote to my webpage as I would have liked.
So after I made the decision to use Google sites, I went and made my website public. Next, I added the link to my Pitt homepage (http://www.pitt.edu/~anh55/) and I checked to make sure that the linked worked and it did!
The next step was also easy. I started by creating several different subpages, one for each assignment, ePrints 3, Jing, my blog, Scopus, WorldCat, Koha, and the two Thoreau fragment assignments. I kept them in alphabetical order. The next step was to start filling in the subpages with information. For this step I had to decide what I wanted to do for each assignment, did I want a link; it actually posted there, or make it an attachment. I used each of these ways to incorporate all of my information into my website.
For the Koha assignment I made two subpages, this way the reader can see the master collection as well as the cataloguing information. Originally I wanted to have a link to the Koha webpage, but the reader may not be able to sign in and view my virtual shelf. I found this cut and paste way much more user friendly. I faced a similar problem with ePrints 3. I ended up just cutting and pasting my master list into the Google Site.
Finally, I wrote out information that described what each assignment was. Overall, I really like the way my webpage looks and I think I might use this website for my entire online portfolio!
