final project worries

With the final project deadline looming, I’m beginning to feel very nervous about my project being online. While I have the basic ideas of Dreamweaver down, I am far from proficient, and currently my project is just text, picture, and link. Not very exciting. I am feeling far more charitable to the other hypertext authors that I criticized for their boring/unprofessional looking websites.

But my worries go a bit deeper than that. Did anyone else pick a project that incorporates personal stuff? Like your family, your own creative writing? I did, and now I’m concerned that I made a mistake because I feel intense pressure to make it perfect (which just isn’t going to happen). And if it isn’t perfect, I will have been disrespectful. On the other hand, something we’ve noted about stuff on the Internet is that it doesn’t have to be static, and I can change it later.

But I have to admit, I’m not feeling super excited about website design, and I’m not sure that I will be exploring the intricacies of advanced Dreamweaver. But maybe I will continue with my project in another format…involving a pen and paper.
