Old Media Vs. New Media
A little while ago I was just surfing on Google and I stumbled upon an article written on July 29, 2004 in the Seattle Pi Newspaper. It was interesting because its title was Bloggers: The new media or a fad? It was hilarious to read the different thoughts behind blogging. Hugh Hewitt, a distinguished blogger/radio talk host, describes newspapers will just become day-old bread. It will be old news once it is published the next day because everyone will be able to read the information on the web before the paper.
Also, Hewitt talks about jealousy. Newspapers are saying it is a fad because they are jealous of the blogging that is becoming strong. He describes how radio said television was just a fad, and that movies said television was a fad, but in actuality, it was the awakening of a new technology.
This article reminded me much of what we have been talking about in class recently, so I thought it was interesting that this was talked about four years ago. Check It Out!

If blogging is a fad, it seems to be a fad with "legs." It's interesting to see that we're still debating this.
This sentence doesn't work:
"Hewitt...describes newspapers will just become day-old bread."
Hewitt can "describe newspapers as being like day-old bread," or he can "say newspapers are like day-old bread," but this sentence doesn't make sense as written.
Your Web Page
On another note, you also need to fix a few things on your web page.
Note that when you view your page, the word "catalog" shows up in the tab/page header of your browser. It means you've still got the default web page title. You can update this in Dreamweaver.
You also need to get rid of the words "line decor" in the color bars under your web page header, and you need to fix the "header practice" link, which doesn't go anywhere.
