Curation: May 8th

    This week I have accomplished a lot of my curation.  It was difficult getting started and trying to figure out how to use the google sites.  Once I finally picked a layout and theme that I liked I got started! I have put a little onto to the home page but not a lot because I am not sure what that page should consist of.  I also did not want to put anything that I wanted to go over in another place on my home page.  Although it may seem that I do not have much in my curation, I do!  So far I have worked on the braids for the most part but I still have a lot to add.
     The braids link has the most information on it so as of now I would have to say that it is the most interesting link.  I found a lof of great how-to videos which I think viewers are going to find very interesting.  Even though I already knew how to do so many braids before I started this curation, doing more research, I have learned how to do a lot more complicated braids.
     The biggest obstacle that I need to overcome would probably be how to organize my curation.  Braids is such a broad category that I still can not decide if it should be it's own link.  Also, there are so many other hairstyles other than braids but not a broad category for those.  Hopefully I can come up with a solution to this.  Another obstacle I need to overcome is figuring out what I should put on the home page to get viewers intrigued by the curation.
     The next three steps that I need to take include the following things.  First, I need to look up more braids and how-tos for those.  My second step is thinking of hair styles other than braids and figuring out a category for that.  The final step I need to take is organizing all of the information in a way that it tells a story.
     I think that this project is set up fairly well.  The only complaint I have is that is still confuses me as to what a curation is.  I know we have been shown a lot of examples but is it essentially a mashup of common topic? Other than that I think it is a very cool idea for an assignment, especially because the topic is something you enjoy.
