The Final Project

Wholly Cow (I used to work there) I am so frackin' excited about this project! Alright, so here's how it goes. I currently have an uncounted amount of hours put into writing html code, and make a CSS. At least twenty but much further beyond than that. I have 20 note card sized notes on what I need to remember to do, add, delete, ask about, and design ideas for page layouts and my logo. 10 lists, 1 for every genre, of titles to get started with to read, watch, and review. I know I mentioned I wouldn't get the "real" URL until I had content but I got a bit excited, not to mention ahead of myself and you can visit my page at www.twentyfourpages.com. (Note: this is still just frame work of what can be expected, there are a bunch of spelling, grammatical, and punctuation errors, but honestly I have a .com and that is the shit)

After a few minutes of staring at my web page dashboard, it wasn't hard to figure out what went where and how, a really bad youtube video also helped, kind of. After I get content on the page, at least one review for each category, I will be setting up e-mail for the site, and creating a facebook page. A facbook page will serve three functions. The first advertisement. I wont be paying for ad space, but hopefully the handful of friends that are interested in what I do will like the page and their friends will see it and like it and so on and so forth. The second, a discussion forum about the various articles. Even though the web hosting site I chose (iPage) offers easy, non-html, ways to build a site and create discussion forums, I really don't have the time to be my own administrator, and deal with trolling. Spammers and trolls can be reported by anyone who has my back, and delt with by the people who are paid to do so. Granted, this is not a long term idea, just until I have time to figure everything out on my own. the third, a way to keep people updated on the going-ons of the site. This is where I might finally have use for facebook's timeline function. Noting the first posted review the 25th, 50th, 100th. When changes will be made. Introducing a new reviewer. All the little milestones that don't need a permanent place on the site itself.

My first review will be posted by 4/25/12 afternoon at the absolute latest. I'm doing "Where the Wild Things Are." It was a quick read and I picked up the movie for five bucks. I have a reviewer lined up to do "Fight Club" something I'm hoping he can have done before the project is due. Also, being posted will be reviewer bios, links to the author, and hopefully the links to the fun stuff.

Stuff to come, probably after the project is "turned in:"

~Project Northwoods by Jonathan Bruce: The first ten pages of his awesome book with the ability to purchase an electronic copy if you just have to read the rest (and you will). Plus other interesting stuff.
~Kim Ziegler Designs: She is responsible for my logo and the graphics to come, so she gets special note.
~ Advertisements: to offset web hosting, logo/graphic design, product development (buttons, stickers, t-shirts, tote bags) copyright and security costs. Plus, possibly a monetary offer to those contributing to the site.
~Twitter: Maybe, this is a big maybe, not a fan but I can see the potential readers it could bring to the site.
