Domain Name Blog Post

DUE Tuesday, Feb 21 – 3 points
(Wednesday NOON deadline)

  • Gradebook Declaration: I have published a blog post on my course blog that is at least 200 words long. I have spellchecked and proofread the post.

It will soon be time to register your domain name for this class. Some of you already have domain names, while others are still trying to think of a good one.

  • Do you have a domain name that you will use for your final project? If so, what is it? If not, what domain name(s) are you thinking about or leaning towards?
  • How did you come up with this domain name? What does it mean? How does it fit in with your overall personal branding?
  • What does the domain name say about the web site owner(s)? Is there room for you to have other people contribute content or not? Is the answer to that question consistent with your objectives for the site?
  • What will your target audience (those you wrote about in the Personas assignment) think about your domain name? Do you imagine they will type in your domain name? Or will they access your site from links in an email or through search engines?
  • Do you have usernames or handles at other web sites that match this? If so, do you have any plans to integrate your web site with these other web applications? If not, do you think that is a problem for your personal branding?

Once you have completed this assignment, make your gradebook declaration.
