Curation Progress Report #2

     This time around I have a lot more sorted out in my curation.  A lot of the questions that I had not yet answered yet, I have figured out this past week.  At first I was confused because I didn't know how I should separate the links and how I should categorize them.  I came up with a brilliant idea to make three links, one with beginners hairstyles, moderate hairstyles, and advanced hairstyles.  This way I do not have to put all of the braids onto one link, and all the other hairstyles onto another link.  This also makes it easier for the viewer to navigate the sight, say she just needed a quick hairstyle she woud go right to the beginners link and she would be good to go within minutes!
     The most interesting link I have so far is the waterfall and ladder braid combo.  I had heard of the waterfall braid before but I never really understood how you should do it, and I had never heard of a ladder braid before this.  I stumbled upon a youtube video that did a how to on this braid.  The video was very easy to follow and it taught me how to do this braid by just watching once! I think this braid is the most unique style I have so far.
     The biggest obstacle that I need to overcome is really telling a story through these hairstyles.  As of now I am explaining each hairstyle and what someone might use it for and what they are feeling that day.  I am not sure if that is the best way of doing it right now but hopefully I can come up with a more creative way of telling my story through the hairstyles.
    The next three steps of my curation include the following things.  Gather more hairstyles and do more research to find new hairstyles.  Right now I think I only have eight so I need a lot more.  Another thing I have to do is put more information on the welcome link.  I started putting good products for your hair on that page so I can probably add more to that.  The final step that I need to take is editing the descriptions I have written for each hairstyle.
     One thing that is not working in my curation is that I am having difficulty formatting the pictures.  It will only let me put pictures in that are in a certain size and it will not let me put two pictures side by side. Other than that everything is going smoothly!
