Independent Learning Technology : Project Two, Post Two

For my second independent learning technology on project two I was going to talk about the form of writing I used when adding to my travel site. Figuring out the correct wording was one of the most time consuming parts of this project, reading over sentences over and over trying to make sure to follow the rules, and still provide important information in a non advertised way. Also I  had to void using such words as "I, Our, We" to avoid bringing in personal experiences and preferences into the site. Also when writing about my hometown, I tried not to be too formal or too relaxed. I attempted to have conversational writing when talking about what to do in the town. I was more formal then I would be when talking to a friend of mine about my town, but was not overly formal to where the town ended up seeming boring or that the information was hard to interpret. Having to use conversational writing style was sometimes difficult, I found myself either being overly or under informing. I went back and fixed many sentences to make them see more like everyday conversation, but doing this while also trying to inform an audience about information was tricky. Using when informing someone of something it is in a formal context and not conversational. Before this project I thought using conversational writing would not appeal to the audience but now after I see that is is helpful because it relays a relaxed setting for the site. Since it is a travelers site, I find that important because one does not want to feel overly informed or pressured into or about a place they would want to visit.
