Class post!
As some of you may know, in the People's Republic of China, they have internet censorship. For those of you who may not, censorship means blocking certain things from someone or many people. This is what the People's Republic of China (PRC) has on their internet access. Some websites like Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, Wikipedia, and WikiLeaks are censored in the PRC. These sites are blocked mainly because there is politically sensitive content on them. This means that there is information or there are pictures that go against the PRC's government or say bad things about the government. Other sites with content relating to the incident at Tiananmen Square, Taiwan's independence, pornography, and anything about democracy or the BBC. Also, if anything bad is posted about the government (or any other content that is not approved of) on an uncensored site, it will be erased within minutes. This censorship is applied in every city and town except for Hong Kong and Macau. Hopefully one day these sites will become unblocked, but for now they are still censored.

The Good and The Bad
Not another class post, a homework post!
Well-designed website: www.monstercss.com/en
Poorly designed website: http://www.siphawaii.com/
Bad Website Review
The website I found with bad design is www.siphawaii.com. There are many things wrong with this website. The first and very obvious problem is the enormous amount of color on the page. Another prominent issue is the lack of white space around the sections of text. This website is also very long, and could easily have been broken down into different pages.
Good Website Review
The website I chose that has good design is www.monstercss.com/en. (The 'en' in there because the site was originally written in Portuguese.) I think the overall style of this site is cute yet informative. The homepage shows a monster roaming back and forth through a cityscape. The colors used complement each other well. Also, the navigation is obvious and easy to find. Finally, the site shows that the designer has previous knowledge designing web pages with CSS.
