Project Update

I spent the day - home sick with strep - watching Dreamweaver tutorials online. Still feeling rather ehh about this project. At this point, I'd hoped to be well along into production, not still wishy washy about what I'm even doing.

At the start of the term, I'd mentioned a blood sugar tracker, and while I'd like that, it already exists. The idea for text prompts of on campus activities was excellent, I thought, but the timing is off. The launch of a new website has IT too busy to bother much with little me and my project, and student feedback about text messaging costs made me reconsider how used it really would be. I thought I'd settled on a tutor resource site, starting with style guides and building up to include other things as the site got used more and more. And for right now, that's still where I think I sit. It's just a matter now of learning how to do it.

I've been out of commission since Thursday, and I'm still not coherent enough to get much out of these tutorials. Sticking with the iTutor (yes, I've named it- thought that probably exists too) idea at least does not require much searching for content, just building it. The problem is that I'm completely bored with the idea. There's nothing exciting about it at all for me, and that is probably why I'm dragging my feet so much.

I have in my head that whatever I create for this project has to be something useful, something people will actually use. I'm not sure I could get the tutors that psyched about this.
