Still thinking about topic ideas

This weekend I concentrated on completing the SA# 2 assignment. Now that's done, so I'm back to the nagging question of website topics. I still haven't decided on one. But I do have yet another idea for my topic: Locs!!! (aka Dreadlocks) I get lots of questions and comments about my hair. I ask lots of questions of other people who also have Locs, but when I was searching the web for information about dreadlocs, I found very little. I realized that most of the good, useful information that I obtain is by word of mouth. The information that is on the web is usually very generic or thinly veiled advertisement. This website(http://www.naani.com/) in particular violates so many of the rules of good website design, e.g., you have to sign up to get to any useful information and the homepage is way too cluttered, that it makes me annoyed.

You definitely should do dreadlocks. I thought about getting them (in my early teens). I feel like there is a lot more out there about wine than about dreads/locs, so the latter would be interesting.

I found some design ideas on http://www.naani.com

The layout of the home page is interesting, although the image quality is not so good.

Layer transparent overlays are nice too.

As far as content goes, you are right, not much there.

I think dreadlocks or wine would both find an audience. Even though you haven't decided on your final topic, I like the ideas you come up with!

Great idea! It's a topic that is relevant to you and it would fill an information gap.
