Making web pages

Hi all,
We are starting a new topic today - learning how to make web pages. Here are a few questions to get you thinking about it...you'll need to do a bit of research for some of these...
1. What is one website that you like the look of, and what is it that you like about it? (include the link in your comment so others can take a look at it)
2. What is one website that you don't like the design of, and why?
3. What programming language is used to make websites?

Seating plan
So...the seating plan has been in place since befor the holidays, and you guys handled the change really well. It helped some of you concentrate more on your work, helped some by sitting them next to someone who could help them, and it put a few of you in places where it was easier for me to help you more often.
Next step ... we are still going to have a seating plan, but it is time for me to rearrange it a bit, and before I do, this is your chance to make recommendations. If you want to shift, please comment on this post saying who you want to sit next to, and how this will help you learn more effectively.
Typing scores
Typing skills update is here. Look for your name and typing speed. Also, I need a new idea for the poll on the right-had-side of the blog. Also, what colour shall we change the blog to next? Remember to include your name in your comment, so I know who has answered.
But wait...there's more! I put some of your gimp pics online here.

New Typing class site to try out

Try this site out for us?
http://www.sense-lang.org/typing/class/dashboard.php
It is a typing site that has a login for a class, has tutorials and games, and then it should present the results as a chart that Ms Ronald can look at to easily see how people have progressed over the year. If we get it working, we won't need to do the typing tests anymore - the games will tell us and Miss Ronald our typing speeds.
