update 5

I'm done updating most of the stuff here.  I'm going to go through and tweak stuff if I see typos or obvious formatting mistakes, which computers seem to do a lot when I use them.  I swear it's not user error!

Also, I'm going to search for more photos, and see if I can add them throughout the text, or along the sides of the blog to make it more visually interesting.

The summary page isn't an exhaustive collection of information, but it should work as a guide for you during the presentation if you're familiar with everything you want to say.  It also has links directly to the info on your contributed page in this blog, so you'll have access to everything you've sent me when we're presenting.

Is the order of stuff alright?  Is there anything I'm missing?  Anything that should be changed?  Now is the time to let me know!

update 4

I think I've got all the material on the different pages up-to-date with everything that people have sent.  Now I'm just going through it to create a summary that I'll post on the presentation page.  I'll hopefully have that up this afternoon, and then we can review it for tomorrow's presentation.

I won't have any time tomorrow to make any final adjustments to the blog before class, so if you haven't sent me an email or text by tonight about changing something, it won't get changed.

update 3

I've updated some info that Marisol sent to me, and I posted the info Rose sent, and I posted my info about water collection.

I still have to come up with some more images, including drawing the title image.  (I'm about to do that now, but it might not get uploaded til tomorrow.)  Also, I need to go through all the info you've sent one more time and try to create a short summary to post on the presentation page so we have a kind of guide as we go through our presentation.

I also need to re-do/refine what Debbie sent me, but I'm not clear from the emails she sent how to do that.  So once I hear from her, I'll re-work the overview page that has her info on it.

Anyone else who wants me to change anything or add anything to their page of info, let me know!

update 2

Some things are in place now!  I haven't edited anything, but what I've been sent is now here.  I also haven't done much to make the blog look nicer; it's pretty much still just the basic default stuff.  I think I'll make an image header (the idea of three raindrops with smiley faces in them placed in between "Drip, drip, drip" sounds good), and tweak some of the colors and layout.

If anyone has suggestions, send me an email or get in touch through canvas.

update 1

I'm about to sift through information that I got in emails and make a first pass at assembling stuff.  So far I have information about:

an overview of conservation information (by Debbie)
Water Conservation in Sports (by Tyson)
Water Conservation in Landscaping (by Vivian)
an international opinion on the value of water conservation (by Rose)
Water Conservation in the Home (by Marisol)

I'm just going to start by posting stuff verbatim as it was emailed to me.  After getting stuff in place, I'll see if editing might help it look better.

I'd also like to add some information of my own about water collection systems.  My dad has been collecting rainwater out in Indiana, and it really helps the plants in the garden flourish compared to just using tap water.  But Indiana's a wet state, where they don't use sprinklers, cause it rains every week.  It's apparently a disputed topic in the west, but my preliminary research found that it's legal in Utah, thanks to a bill that passed in 2010.  I may wind up writing my research paper about that.  In any case, I'm going to add some of that info to a page here as well.
