Proposal

Web Development
for Catherine Fitzpatrick

This is a project for my Web development module. Please come back in December.

My website is going to be about Safety on the Internet.
I plan on making a page about Child pornography and paedophiles, what you can do about it and what you shouldn't do, a page about pornography in general and the dangers of it.
I am also planning to do a page about piracy, what you should and shouldn't in regards to it and probably add a few links to pages and discussions talking about it.
I will have a page about stalking, bullying and grooming and what you can do about it, and I hope to incorporate a page about how easy it is to actually get personal information about people, (even if they have their Bebo, Facebook, Myspace etc profile set to private) from just knowing their First name, Last name and their hometown, or just their e-mail address.
I am also going to have a page with a bit about the history of the Internet and how it has changed over the years. And with that I will try follow the evolution of the ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) to the beginning of the Internet and then finally to the Internet we all know about today.
I am going to have a page about viruses, spyware, malware and hacking and how you can defend yourself against them and just general safety tips for the Internet e.g. a recent study shows "Adding the word "free" to a search for music ringtones results in a three-fold increase in the riskiness of the sites returned by major search engines in English."
For any image I am going to try and use a JQuery application called lightbox. What happens is if you click on an image and you are using lightbox with that image, then rest of the page will darken a little and a copy of the picture will show up on the page and example can be found in the example tab here. And for the navigation bar I will try and use the jquery lavalamp, an example can be found here.
