My biggest problem was organizing my paper in a logical way. I solved this by just getting all my information down on paper, then I split it up and pieced it back together in a way that makes sense. Then i made sure there were good transistions and everythign connected well.
Effective websites:
Byu.edu (very easy to get around, definitely accomplishes what its trying to)
Facebook.com (easy to use)
Amazon.com (inviting, helpful and easy)
Netflix.com (easy to use, cool features)
Pinterest.com (super hot, a wonderful idea for a website, just plain awesome)
Ineffective websites:
Villaroseapts.com (broken links, missing info)
Byui.edu (I know this sounds terible, I have nothing against BYUI! Haha but my sister complains all the time how difficult the website is, well, USED to be. I think it's new now and more like ours)
These ones I found through google because I couldn't think of any others that I've visited that are crappy:
Sportingnews.com (very cluttered, not very pleasing to the eye)
Civilwar.com (lightly colored font makes it hard to read)

Our visit to the library.
The library website is kind of complex and has always been a bit on the difficult side for me, but that's because no one had ever really shown me around. But it's no easy "showing around". The place is like a mansion with 9 floors, 23 bedrooms, a labyrinth, and a spiraling staircase. But I think I've been given some good tours and might be able to remember where the spare-extra-guest bedroom and the pool are (In other words, I could probably get myself around without help). So since I've learned how to navigate on my own its been quite easy to find the information that I need. My area of difficulty that comes along sometimes is not finding articles, books, journals and other material that are specific enough to my topic. This doesn't happen all the time but when it does I feel like I'm way off base and just need a few pointers of how to narrow my wording.
Also, I learned that I'm quite savvy with an ipad.

I'm stuck in a rut.
I'm still stuck between 2 topics so I'll explain both and why I'm stuck.
My first topic of interest is how social media effects the quality of communication in relationships. Very often when trying to avoid confrontation people take advantage of new media like texting and facebook. I think people should avoid this use of communication because it could have harmful effects. Communication is SO important, especially in committed relationships. This one will probably have more research to find and directly relates to social media, but when the paper asked "Which one would be most interesting to read?" this isn't the one I though fit that criteria. I'm also in a marriage prep class and I'm sure my professor could help me out and direct me in where to find good sources for this.
My other one involves today's idea of perfection in beauty. Since this is the one I wrote down on that paper it got a little more developed. I took it into a few categories; plastic surgery, to need to not age, and young girls being affected by all of the above and more. I'm really passionate about the effects this has has the younger generation. There is so much going on that show young girls, not even teenagers yet, that they need to be hot and sexy, with high heels, big hair, skimpy skirts, 2% body fat, and 2lbs of make up. This quite honestly makes me sick. I have 2 younger sisters that I can already tell are/may be affected by what they see in media. I'm stuck here because I don't know what my question would be and I'm not sure if I could as easily find sources for this.
So as you can see, I'm in a rut. I don't know which one I like more, they both interest me A LOT. But i don't know which would would be more easily developed and has the ability to become the best paper. Help? :)
