Web Design is a field that really interests me.  From the time I saw my first website created by a teacher I knew I wanted to learn more.  I began to notice which websites caught my attention and others that were too cluttered to read the content clearly.

One of my inspirations is a young teacher at my school who has taken on the responsibility of building level computer helper.  Olivia is really good about answering questions and likes to hear others new ideas and tricks also.

I am spending a lot of time on my google site.  I can't get pictures to places where I want them to stay.  They seem to snap back to a grid all the time.  The text is not staying where I want it either.  Another text problem is that it doesn't text wrap the way it should.  The more I work with it the more it seems to fight me instead of staying where I place it.  I would like to go to other google sites and see what sites are out there in google sites that look a lot better than mine.

I feel that seeing other sites would really help me see what is possible on google sites and what is not.

I have been working and working and working with the google site in my own domain.  I can not figure out how to add my title into the header.  What the heck?  Why is something so basic so bleeping hard?  Also, it is so frustrating because there are so few options for change and to add pizzaz.  The color choices are laughable.  Not even a color wheel to choose from, just a limited numer of colors chips.  Can't Google do any better?  Don't they own the whole internet per se?  Check out wix.com .  Endless templates, colors, up to date designs and coolness... and easy to use...and free.  Why can't Google do this?
