During this week, I started my actual website, I started posting my different entries and I have already put on some videos as well. I found pictures of all my entries and posts and that is allowing me to have a nicer, more complete look to my website.
At the moment, my most interesting link is a YouTube video of the newest soccer shoes that haven't been released to the public yet. Some people get pictures of them and they post them on YouTube for everyone to see.
The biggest obstacle I had to overcome was actually breaking the lock of doing my posts. I really did not want to, but when I did, the posts came out so much easier and more fluidly than I thought. This was tough for me though because I really dislike doing homework. Especially now since we only have 3 more days of school left.
My first step is to post more entries about soccer shoes. I need at least 25, and I need to get going on that. My second step is to find more videos and pictures in order for my viewers not to get bored on my site. People love videos. And lastly, I have to make my website work fluidly, no dead links, no problems with the navigation of the site. It all has to work perfectly.
Now that I have started my entries, it's easier for me get those done. But I still think we should have much more class time to work on it. It still is very tough to work on it outside of school.

Curation Progress 2
During this week, I chose my template and I have started to create the website. I haven't written any posts yet, but I will start on that very soon. I have done more research on the latest shoes to come out and the latest technology and details about those shoes.
I just bought some shoes of my own, so I am going to do complete a review on them from my point of view, plus, I'm going to describe all the details and technology of it to the best of my knowledge and ability.
The biggest obstacle I have to overcome is that I must sit down and start writing about shoes and reviewing them, and rating them. I must tell myself to overcome the lazy, second semester senior mentality and do it.
Next three steps must be, to write some reviews and posts about the latest shoes to be released. Next would be to completely integrate my website so it looks good and appealing to the audience. Thirdly, I have to make sure that my website is user-friendly and easy to navigate.
What is not working with this project is the ability to complete this, and work on it, in class. We need time to be able to work on it in class. This would allow pretty much the whole class to get a good days work on this, because we all know, that this doesn't want to be done outside of school. Considering we all have senioritis.

Curation Progress
During this week, I have looked up a bunch of soccer sites. These sites, are mostly just selling merchandise, they aren't really explaining and telling the details to the fullest extent of the shoes. I have found some sites where they do give some information, but they do not rank or rate the shoes. Plus, they don't categorize the shoes for the different types of players or different abilities a shoe can have.
The site that I have found that has the most useful information is www.soccer.com, they have a huge selection of shoes to choose from. But they just want to make money, they give a brief description of the shoes and then say "Buy them now!" They don't give the complete details of the shoe, and that is what I am aiming to do with my curation site.
What I have to do next is start building my site, adding some posts about the most popular shoes out right now, and make my site an appealing thing to look at. I will start working on all of these as soon as possible, because I am very interested in creating a website where people can research the shoes, before they buy them.
This project is working very well, I think the aspect of us doing a thing that interests us is a great idea. This is because we would actually enjoy doing this project instead of dreading every second of it.
