Red website - ideas

Since the last class - ideas for 3 pages: includes may journey (tracks) of the red shoe back in time forward as repetitive element throughout.

1. Chinese shoes for bound feet.
2. Dorothy's ruby red shoes in Oz.
3. Christian Louboutin's red-lacquered soles on high heels.

It would be lovely if I could insert music in the website.

This CSS stuff is HARD!  Thanks Angela for helping me get my website going.   Just needed to add the folder name red  & remove the 'home' part of the URL (which directs traffic to my portfolio).  I'll add the link on and see if it works for anybody.

Color website links re: healthy feet?

Since I am doing a website with info on 'red' and shoes - I was searching around and found HealthyFeetShoes online website & links including one to Dr Jenny Sanders (a podiatrist) who researches better shoes for healthier happier feet!

Below are images from eras gone by depicting shoes worn for various cultural reasons eg beauty, marriage, wealth...

Color Red website: Paragraph of Intent

My website will be informational and focus on red (or not) shoes from different periods and parts of the world.  Shoes can cause pain hence the color red, when worn eg high heel shoes or shoes that are crammed into shoes that are too narrow etc.  Red shoes can also be a warm/hot cheery color to spice up an outfit; or signify wealth to the wearer eg designer shoes with the red soles.  Shoes can be worn to attract the opposite sex and have many meanings eg footbinding enhances a Chinese female's chances to attract a better mate.  The bound foot indicates the female need not work out in the fields because her gait is so affected.

For my research I reviewed information from the Bata Shoe Museum, Toronto, CANADA.

Below is an image for a women's bound foot.

Color Red website brainstorm ideas

I chose the color RED because it is associated with Red China and I am 2nd generation Chinese.
Words I think of when I think red:  blood - female infanticide; footbinding - pain; girls as 2nd class citizens - shame.  Of 4 siblings I am girl-child#3 where my younger brother has always been favored.  I was considering web pages eg footbinding; female infanticide; and preferential treatment of boys.  After some thought, I decided it's  too complicated to whittle down to manageable information for our assignment.

For research I used PVLD on-line resources and reviewed articles eg

Men Without Women By: Ferguson, Niall, Newsweek, 00289604, 3/14/2011, Vol. 157, Issue 11

HTML tagging - Haiku poem

Here's the 1st go attempting to use tags, elements & attributes for designing a page for the web incorporating a simple Haiku poem.  Quite daunting googling all over the place trying to learn/research basic html and not confuse it with html5 ?, java script, or CSS...
