Finishing Touches
From finding piczo hard to use due to problems with editing the site, I have moved on to use another webpage maker, called 'moonfruit.com'.
This website has been alot better than piczo because I have been able to make my website the way I want, with pictures and layouts that I wanted as well.
My final decision for my website is that, on the front page, I am having a few main stories, and different local adverts down the left hand side of the page. I have decided to have a black background with white text so that it looks more interesting and eyecatching to the reader. Also, I have designed a few links on the page that contrast with the Hedingham Angel heading, so HA jobs stands for Hedingham Angel Jobs. I thought this would be a good idea because it makes the website look more local as it is local jobs that will be on the page.
My 1st hyperlink page is 'Your Stories' page. This consists of different stoies from the local primary school about what activities/events that have been happening or any news that the school needs to give out to people in the local area.
I have used the same adverts and text on the sides of the page from the home page, so that it makes the website enclosed and suitable for the local people, rather than making different adverts asif it is to be shown to a wider range audience.
My second hyperlink page is 'HA Photos'. This page has pictures of a local primary school's fete, to show the local community raising money for a local charity. I thought this was a good idea because it shows local people coming together and raising money for a special need. On this page, I have also used the same adverts and text on the sides of the page, for the same reason as I had for the 'Your Stories' page.
I am really pleased with my main task, because I have found that from using my research and notes from the start of year 13, it has helped a lot with planning and designing my own website.

What I have done so far.
Up to this point i have completed one of the ancillary tasks, which is the newspaper poster. I have also completed the main task which is to complete two pages of a newspaper article.
Within these two tasks, I have been doing research into newspapers which include a Venn diagram, research into the conventions of a newspaper etc. From the research, I have designed and produced my own ideas for the tasks.
The final thing i have to do is the second ancillary task of making a website with two hyperlink pages. I have already started this task but due to having trouble getting Piczo at school (which is the website i am using to make my own website)I am having to do it all at home. However, this isn't a problem because I am able to still use blogger to find all my ideas about what I am putting in my website, but also how I am going to lay it out.
At this moment in time, on my website, i have created the basic things such as the two hyper links, the type of font and font size i am going to use and also where pictures and text are going. The things I am having to do now is put the information in the website such as stories and other little bits such as advertisements.
The only thing i am struggling with at the moment, is uploading the pictures i am needing. However, this should soon be overcome because i am going to talk with the technicians about how to fix the problem.

This is my finished main task of completing 2 pages of a newspaper; front cover and a second page. I have gained all my ideas for the layout from different newspapers that I have looked at that are shown on my blog. I have enjoyed doing this task because I was able to design the layout out myself and make it on my own.
Also, by doing this, i was able to work independantly and have no fuss about different ideas that other people have chosen when being in a group.
