1. Your design and layout of your web pages - does it fit your drawing/plan ?
My Design fits the drawing/plan quiet well except for some buttons that need to be added this is not done due to the knowledge of doing it, I don't know how to put in buttons on my iWeb.
2. My Topic & research. What Have I Done In Class ?
I have researched many Google documents and videos about my natural disaster : Earthquakes. And because at home We all don't have iWeb so All the iWeb work is done in class.

3.Color , Font and use of Multimedia.
I Decide to use a black background so it shows how serious and alarming this natural disaster is. The font I used gives kind of an earthquake affect and it represents the shaking of an earthquake. I have no movies or videos on my iWeb because I Still Don't know & Have difficulties inserting 1 to my iWeb.
4. Does it have 5 pages ?
No at the moment my iWeb has only 2 pages , but it is still in progress. & so far I'm doing great and the work is great too.
5. The Features Of Apple iWeb. What Is Working ? What Isn't?
At the moment I am very new to iWeb and I am still trying to discover new tools and try to figure out how things work.
6. What is A Widget ?
A widget is a action/tab you add to your iWeb, you Can add movies, Google maps, ect..
7.Do you have an Emergency Plan? Do You Have A reference page ?
No i Do not have any of those , as I Said The iWeb is Still not Completed and I Assure You in Time The iWeb Will Be Fully Completed and Very Useful.
