My topic idea for my website is going to be a parody of the sports website foxsports.com. The name of my website is Joshing Sports ( yes it is my name, but it also stands for joking about something). I am going to take the stories that have and replace with funny things or stupid things that have happened to athletes. My main page is going to be general with the top story of the week, and my other pages will be different sports pages that have their own stories, such as NHL, NFL, NBA, etc.
I want to be able to put it a pop up or something like a welcome to the site or something. I want to be able to have graphics and stuff, but i am not exactly sur eon how to do anything, i am actually very confused with this website coding and i am finding it difficult. Hopefully i will be able to come up with some good ideas.
I anyone has any ideas or anything that could help me, please dont be afraid to comment!!!!
I need help, so anyone that would like to help is totally allowed!!!!

The art of Social Networking!!
To start off, both articles were written very well and they explore great views on the question of what we can truly accomplish with the internet and social networking. To start off the chapter It takes a Village to Find a Phone, was an amazing story of how there is always someone who feels the same way you do about a subject. Evan put that up, even know they got a new phone and still got all the info back. This was about what is right, and he posted, and everyone joined in ton stand up for something they all believe in. I thought it was amazing to see how many people, and how all of those people had the power to change the minds of the NYPD.
Second, was the Twitter, and Facebook article, which was also very well written. The difference with this article is that it explored different stories and how social networking sites could be the way to bring everyone together and in one of the stories, save peoples lives.
I get from these two stories is that we are all so involved with the internet that we can all join together to do things that one person could never accomplish on their own. I believe the Twitter and Facebook article is a stronger representation of this because the other one seemed a little out there for me. In understand that a lot of people have a large control, but i feel as if NYPD would not change their minds just because of what other people think. For the other article, i can understand, because so many people are affected by these social problems, such as racism, cancer, etc. and thats why it is so easy for people to spread the word and receive so much feed back. I am very happy i got to learn a little more about the positive things social networking is doing.

Yes men!
I am soo amazed with the work that Yes Men have done! I believe it is great to see the different views that people see situations, such as the oil spill. The problem a company trying to create positive press about something bad they have done is way to positive, and they attempt to create a sense that they are not in the wrong anymore but that they are here to help.
I love the way Yes Men portray their ads and show the true meaning behind something that has happened, such as "Chevron SHOULD clean up their messes", instead of other comments that stray away from the real issue, such as "Oil companies should put their profits to good use". It is not about the profits, its not about the communities, its about the big a** oil spill in the ocean that is killing innocent creatures and is ruining the environment.
I believe Yes Men should continue to do what they are doing, because it is now not only to make fun of things, but to bring the real truth of situations to the surface for citizens to see and read.
