My Archive Project is about the differences of the perspectives on LGBT in East Asia country (China, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea) VS. Western country (Spain, United States, and Canada). So my blog posts are relating to the LGBT history of each country by posting history articles, person, music, movie, and novel. Besides the history, I updated current countries’ perspectives, actives, and best LGBT movies for each regions recently.

I believe these updates will emphasized the differences and similarities more and more. In addition, I think introducing the best movies can bring other perspectives, such as perspectives from family, friends, teachers, colleagues, and more. Since movies are giving both visuals and hearings, audiences can get the information can get easily while they are enjoying the movies. => Home

One challenge that I have is the introduction in the website. In my home page, I wrote an introduction about what this website is about. However, I am not sure the introduction can give readers enough information or not.

My upcoming plan is to read and check all of my posts to finalized it before the submission.

This week, I changed the icon of my website into a rainbow with world map to give readers some idea of what my website is. Also one of my teammate gave me a helpful advise for my first item about the size and position of the pictures, so I did a small change of the position and size of the pictures. In Addition, I post an item and a blog as well.

Last week, I was concerned about the focus of my project. My main focus is to compare the differences between western countries and east Asia countries. For the solution I came up with is to mention other countries’ differences in the posts. However, I’m not sure if this will be the best solution. So I’m still looking for it.

My upcoming plans are to post Blog 3, item 3 and Update 3. I’m thinking to post LGBT in Taiwan for my next item. Also I might look for some images to post in my homepage.

Updates:

After posting the blog, I added an item of my project, which is the first real start of my website. I’m planning to post two other countries from East Asia, and three countries from western in total, but I might add more countries. Also, I’m going to create another page for this updates.

Challenges:

After reviewing one of my teammate’s comment, I realized my title and maybe some of my contents are not clear about the regions I’m going to post in this project. From my title and contents, it may understand as East Asia and West Asia.  However, the regions I choose to compares are East Asia (China, Japan, Korea, and more) and Western (Europe and America). So it is one of my challenges to clarifying the regions to the readers.

The other challenge is, as I’m doing this project, I find out my item posts will just be some information about LGBT community in several  countries. But then, it will be different from my goal of this archive project. So I do want to make comparisons between two different regions, and I have prepared some potential questions that I’m planning to answer in my archives, which  are

1. What are the similarities and differences between the regions?
2. Which region, or country would be more friendly to the community?

But the only thing, which is the most important thing, is I do not know how and where should I put the comparison in my archive.

Upcoming:

My upcoming plans are posting another blog, item and update. In addition, to figure out how should I do the comparison in the archive.
