CBS - Wordpress

     The website that I chose to review that uses Wordpress is the CBS New York website. Looking at this site initially I couldn't tell that it was a website that used Wordpress. I feel like I should be able to spot when a website uses Wordpress, but apparently Wordpress can really look like anything if the designer wants it to.
      This website looks like many other websites that I have seen before. With that being said, this website is not very pleasing to the eye and it has the feel of an older website from the year 2000 or something. There are no drop down menus, the website just has a basic horizontal menu bar located at the top of the page. I know that this is a news website, so there has to be a bunch of stories on the main page, but all of the stories are very scattered throughout the home page and have no structure to them. It looks like they just threw text about in random places on the page and isn't very pleasing to the eye. If someone would come to this site for the first time it might be a little discouraging to try and find a certain story, but thankfully they added a search bar at the top right of the home page.
      The navigation of the site isn't too bad, it operates like you'd expect a site to navigate, so no problems there. My main problem is the look of the site. I think that if this site was constructed with something like Drupal, it could be further customized into a site that looks more professional and organized.

Ideas for graphic novel

I want to make a graphic novel that depicts my everyday life with my band. I was going to take pictures of me and my best friends and just make up some story because I thought that would be the easiest way to do things. But then I realized that my best friends are my band mates, so I thought it would be a good idea to just make a day in the life graphic novel of what we do. My novel would include us hanging out, practicing, being on the road, and playing shows. I'm going to have to formulate some story that will be taking place behind all of our regular activities. So I was thinking that there is a big show that we have to get ready for, and this show is coming up fast. So we barely have enough time to get ready and we're stressed and we're late for the show, which we are eventually late for. In between us getting ready for the show a whole bunch of bad things happen, but in the end we get over the obstacles and everything is alright. Those are my basic ideas so far for my graphic novel and I'm sure to have more ideas come to me eventually, so I'm going to start with what I have now and expand.
