Looks great. I look forward to seeing the results. Some of these will be difficult to demonstrate. It will be nice to have examples with supporting materials.

Are you still thinking of investigating responsive design? How are you going to judge if you are successful in achieving a more responsive design?

== Proposal for adjusted curriculum==

In addition to the helpful topics covered in this course, I would like to add studying and mastering a few topics in responsive web design to my course work. I plan to create additional thimble pages that exemplify these topics in action. I also plan to create accompanying write ups for each topic on their core concepts and how these properties or elements may behave on different browsers and screen sizes. I will make these write-ups and examples available to any other students who are curious.

My final project will include material in the regular course work plus my new fluency in these topics to create a website that is readable and aesthetically pleasing across several browsers and devices.
