This assignment did teach me a lot actually! I was pretty skeptical going into it! I had not idea it could be so simple to basically create a simple website page! Although I could not get it posted...Seeing and going through the steps of changing titles and creating my own lists on the mock site was great! It was simple to do, just replace words with your own and watch the magic when you reload the page! This class overall has taught me a TON. So many new techniques to searching the World Web and the Deep Web! All these tools I can now take with me and allow them to help me in all my future classes here at Clark and any other school I attent! Thank you so much for all the help you have given me over the quarter! Truly a GREAT class to take! (:
*** I cannot figure out how to actually 'download' my new website. Filezilla is NOT connecting for me. I have restarted my computer and still will not connect. ***

Journal 9
I used MonsterCrawl while searching for credible cites.
1) .GOV
I typed in "censor* media site:.gov" the first article that I found was, "FCC and Freedom of Speech."
ASPECT- Authority: The FCC wrote and published this article. Purpose: It wants the public to know what and how much the broadcasters can and cannot say. Also to let the public know what the FCC's job is and how much they can regulate.
2) .COM
I typed "censor* media site:.com" and the first article that I could find was, "Media Censorship Pros and Cons." ASPECT-Evenness: This article states both sides of the argument, positives and negatives of censorship. Timeliness: It was published on September 23, 2011, so it is still a very relevant source of information.
3) .EDU
I typed "censor* media site:.edu" and the first article I came up with was, " ALAN v21n2-The Censorship Connection-Censorship Matters." ASPECT- Authority: The woman who wrote the article is a professor at Kent State University in Ohio and also the editors of the website are from LSU and Vanderbilt. Coverage: It talks about censorship in not only media but in texts books also. It covers an away of information about censorship.
4) .ORG
I typed "censor* media site:.org" and the first article I came up with was, "Censoring the Conservative Media."ASPECT- Authority: It was written by Cliff Kincaid who upon looking into him further was awarded several journalism awards and attended a University and obtains a Master Degree. Evenness: It talked all about the censorship in various sources of media and outstanding issues in our country-about how it effects such issues like Gay Rights, AIDS, Televised News.
Personally I would prefer to find articles with the .gov or .org ending. I feel as though those with such endings are more credible and tend to have more backings than those just ending in .com. I found this journal to be very informative, I did not realize I could sort my search results by the .com, .gov, .edu, etc. It was actually very helpful to see the differences it makes just by searching specific endings.

Journal 8
SPEZIFY:This was a very unique tool! It opens the searched word(s) it opens it in like word bubble style, showing all kinds of different ways. It links you up to social media sites with the verbiage you searched and also general websites that talk about your searched items. It handled Boolean operators fairly well. Although I liked its style I do not think I would use it for a paper/project. It just seemed to informal and not enough scholarly website came up from what I could tell.
MONSTER CRAWLER: Since this is powered by Google, Yahoo and Bing it was pretty set up as such. It lists the websites that match your terms that you searched. This site handled Boolean VERY well! I loved this site and would consider using it again since it is backed by three other good search engines.
VIRTUAL REFERENCE SHELF: I liked that this gave options as to what you wanted to search, such as books or web articles. It was easy to use and very accessible for the new users. Boolean did not seem to work as well for me on this site as others I have used, but it did pick up on some of it. I think I would probably use this site more so for when I am searching for books pertaining to a specific subject.
I liked this weeks assignment! This class is teaching me so much it is way more than I ever thought! I liked being able to go through different websites and seeing how each one is different. I now have more sites to use when doing research for different classes and doing different things. Thank you for introducing all of this to myself and I am sure countless other students who appreciate it!
