Section 01 & 10: Complete the two following posts (each are to be 500 words & contain atleast 1 hyperlink):
1) Consider a website that you visit often, or one you visited once that made a strong impression upon you. What is the focal point of the site? What are some conventions of websites as a genre & how does the site adhere to them? Does the site alter these conventions in anyway? How so? Furthermore, how does the medium of blogging & other forms of web-based writing differ from that of traditional print/paper-based writing? Provide specific examples in your post. Hint: It might be helpful to insert a hyperlink to the site you write about.
The hyperlinks below contain information regarding conventions for web design. I found these sites while performing a rudimentary Google search. If anyone finds a better site containing more detailed information, please add a comment to this post:

2) Consider the same website you chose in question 1. List all the cultural contexts (who, what, when where, & why) of the site you need to recognize in order to understand the content fully. Does the fact that one may not comprehend all the references effect the overall message?
