I found my article on e-articles.info and the article is called "How to storyboard your web site" by Dr. Walter Smith. Storyboarding is when planning to make a website you intergrate your objectives, target your market information, and your findings and your own ideas. A website storyboard can be seen as a blueprint or a first draft. A storyboard consists of main page or home page at the top, then central navigation bar and subsections and so on.
Storyboards can be created with a software program, sheets of paper or any other mechanism. Once the first draft is done, you should go back and review the website from the competitive analysis viewpoint. Make sure you have included all must-haves and leave an opportunity for the elements that fit into the "would-be-nice category". Remember to keep the layout simple and logical, don't move on wit the web development process until the layout of the storyboard is finalized.
I think this type of technology is a great tool for students and teachers because students can create their own websites and post their own thoughts. Students can participate with storyboarding at any age with assistance by their teacher.
After reading this article I understand all the hard work and preparation that goes into making a website.

This post was good because it got involved with how storyboards are created and what the thought process should be while creating one. Instead of discussing the different uses that people or businesses create storyboards for, she emphasized on the work behind it. I really liked the article and how she explained how storyboards should be drawn out. Good article!
I liked your post because you showed the process of making a storyboard. I don't think most people knew how to prepare and use a storyboard and you made that clear.
