Weekly Progress Report

Due to a very busy schedule this week, the progress I made toward my website was not as much as I would have liked. I was under the pressure of two exams and two papers in addition to the ongoing demands of coursework; however, I did manage to accomplish a couple tasks to advance my website. I subscribed to a free web server where I can work on my site temporarily. The head of the economics department informed me that the departmental pages were in a transition phase of being relocated from remote servers, and he will let me know when this process is complete. At that time, I will be granted access to a domain within the economics department. For now, the temporary site is hosted at the following address:

Although I have not yet published anything to this site, I downloaded an application for creating webpages. The software is called SeaMonkey, which includes a browser and a composer application that is fairly easy to use. I have begun to familiarize myself with the composer tools, and I believe they will be adequate for my project. Additionally, I have collected several images to use on the site. I already have all of the charts and graphs that I will use, so I feel like I have a fairly good start on the project. Even so, I need to maintain my focus on the completion of individual goals which I will set for myself in order to have the webpage finished in a timely manner.
