My name is Dawn Zimmerer.  I am in my first semester at Southern Connecticut State University with the goal of obtaining my Master's Degree in Information and Library Science.

In my professional life I manage Animal Fair, a full line pet store in Ridgefield, CT.  Click here to see our site!

Because I have done a lot of Powerpoint work in my previous career as a manager for Kinko's/FedEx Kinko's, I chose to do a website for my Menu Project.  I wanted to attempt something which would stretch my limits and make me learn new things.

I explored HTML, gadgets, widgets, borders, graphics, and much more.  In designing the site I wanted to keep it simple.  There is nothing I dislike more than a website that is tough to read.  I hope I have kept this one easy to read and easy to navigate.

I also investigated Metatags and Keywords.  I have included these with each page as well as a description tag to allow for search engine optimization.

To stretch my self even further, I challenged myself to create a video clip and then figure out how to make it play on my site.

The video clip below was done with my laptop's webcam.  I used Picassa 3, a free downloadable software from Google.  Using Picasa 3 I created the opening credits as well as the closing credits.  I edited this into a movie and uploaded it to YouTube.  Using a YouTube widget, I was able to post the movie here for viewers to see.
