Best Blog Contest
In my computer science class (I hated this class because I am terrible with computers and technology) we had to do a group project/ contest having to do with blogs. You could have any kind of web host (we tended to use free ones since we are broke college students and didn't want to spend money on a project ha) and we had to come up with a topic that would interest our other classmates and then blog about it the entire semester.
It was an interesting project and contest. We used this web hosting guide that we found online to find the best blog hosting site we could (that was free obviously) and then we went to work trying to find out what students wanted to know. We found out instantly that students love gossip and as terrible as it was, we decided to use that as our topic. So we made our blog open to other students and we allowed them to post stuff on it (anonymously of course) as long as it didn't directly hurt another student or person. Most of it was silly stuff and we checked a few times a day to make sure that there wasn't trash on it and if so we deleted it to make sure that no one was smack talking about anyone else.
Overall though we definitely had the best project (we won and got an A on it). We ended up keeping the website up for a little bit after the project was over because people were posting events on it and stuff and it was fun to see what was going on and people were able to stay in touch. But then we ended up getting lazy and we stopped checking it and when we did go on once in a while we would find that people wrote some negative stuff on it so we finally deleted it. It was nice to get such a good grade on the project and it really wasn't that much work at all and it was kind of cool to be part of something so big (I'm not great at technology so I was shocked when the website worked out) and I even got in touch with a few people that I knew when I was younger which was really cool and interesting. So I guess A plus for us!
