I am finally feeling more comfortable with using Weebly now that it is functioning properly for me. Now that I have the technical aspects more under control, I am starting to dive into the content. I have my home page, About the Author and Inspiration pages pretty close to done, but I am struggling with how to organize my Learn More pages. The checklist was very useful on the other pages, but my current feeling is that there is way too much content on the first Learn More page. My overall struggle is visually how to keep each page appealing/clean/easy to read while at the same time including all of the many required content pieces. My actual project has evolved into touching on 3 main areas (Growth Mindset, creating visual data charts and providing effective feedback). I am wondering if I can ask Marie to make me 3 separate pages or if that is just creating more work for myself which I definitely don’t need at this point? I am at a bit of a stand still right now so I just need to dive in and get going. Maybe once I start adding some content to those pages, I will see a solution. I used to be a definite planner, but one thing this Master’s journey has taught me is that sometimes the only way to figure something out is just jump into the deep end and have the confidence in myself that I won’t drown!

Dana, I agree about our Learn More pages. The specs ask for a lot of content, which make it harder to navigate. I like your idea of organizing your website thematically, and I noticed on some of the websites of previous cohorts that they did add custom pages. If you can move some of your Learn More content to these pages, then it won't be extra work (no new content).

The checklist has been great right? It helps give me an anchor in the storm of this capstone. Love the scuba picture with the "dive in" idea! Well played!

Dive right in and sink or swim? You have definitely proven yourself as a swimmer and someday a diver! I am beginning to see what you mean by so much content for the Learn More page and I'll be interested to see which direction you decide to take with that.
