To learn about marriage and family life I visited CC and Julia’s websites. On CC’s site, one thing I liked was that it was very organized and easy to follow. One interesting fact I learned from her website was girls got married as soon as they could have kids which was only 12 ½ years old. One thing she could improve is add more pictures of the wedding outfits. On Julia’s website, I like how she had many clear pictures of what she was talking about that aided understanding of her topic. One interesting fact I found was that oil lamps were the only source of light at night. One way I would improve her website would be add a home button on her posts/pages so you can get back to the main site easier.

To discover more about Marriage and Home Life during the time of Jesus, I read CeCe's and Julia's websites. One thing I liked about CeCe's website was how she displayed information not only about the marriage, but also the engagement and after the wedding. I appreciated how on Julia's website, she had major topics but also little interesting facts on the side of the page. An interesting fact I learned from CeCe's website is that during the time of betrothal before marriage, children were seen as legitimate and a woman found guilty of adultery would be stoned to death. Another fact I learned was from Julia's website. It said that roofs were used as a place to keep tools, a place for meditation and prayer, and even as a bedroom when it was too hot to sleep indoors. One thing I might do to make the information easier to understand on CeCe's website, would be to make the paragraphs into short bullets. A way to improve Julia's website would be to add a little bit more information of the nomadic lifestyle.

Scrolling through the websites I came across Chiara’s, informing the public about marriages. The first thing that stood out to me was that the writing sections were in smaller segments which is always a reader’s delight. From her website I learned that girls usually got married at around 13 which is crazy! I also was made aware that women who were found guilty of adultery were stoned which seems rather harsh. One thing that could improve the website is possibly a second page being added just to separate some of the information or text. Her website was still fire though. I visited Julia’s website about homes and found that its organization was magnificent and the side bar with pictures and info was a nice touch. I learned that oil lamps were the only source of light after the sun set. I also found out that rich Roman houses had pools in the main part to catch rainwater which I am very jealous of. One thing I may change is to add a little more color to the background to spice things up, but other than that it was fantastic.

To learn about marriage and homes in the time of Jesus, I viewed the websites created by CC and Julia. I love the bright colors and pictures CC included, making her website eye-catching. The pictures on Julia's website were also nice and helped me visualize that information that was written. I learned that weddings were commonly held on an autumn evening. I found it interesting that each village had a communal wood-burning stove for cooking. The font size of the information at the bottom of CC's website was a little small, so moving those columns to separate pages would be an improvement. I was not able to get back to the home page on Julia's website, so a button to do that would be a good idea.

In order to understand more about marriage and home life in the time of Jesus, I visited CiCi and Julia's websites. I was immediately overwhelmed by the fantastic amount of information I found on CiCi's about both marriage, and the engagement procedure and post-ceremony celebrations. I had no idea that wedding feasting went on for days after the ceremony. One idea I would have for CiCi's site is adding a few more pictures to help a reader visualize all the information being put in front of them, but other than that, it was excellent. In Julia's site I was impressed at how organized the site was, with interesting pictures to supplement the information being given. I was intrigued to learn how much a community cooperated back in Jesus's time, and that there was usually only one stove being shared by the whole community. One recommendation I have for Julia's site is adjusting the background or text color, as it was a bit hard to read at times.

To learn about marriages and home life during Jesus’ time I went to CC and Julia’s website. One thing that I like about the website is the array of colors used in the website. One interesting fact that I learned by reading their website was that weddings were often celebrated for a week or more at a time. Another interesting fact that I learned was that weddings were often held at the house of the bride’s father. One thing that I would improve on would be to incorporate more pictures.

To be inspired, I went to CC's and Julia F's websites about marriage and home life. On CC's website, I learned so much about weddings back then I might just wanna get married... Anyway, I loved how she sorta had you contrast the weddings from what they were back then to what they are now. Julia F. had cute little tags that you could search by. I learned from CC's website, that a ceremony was held at the bride's father's house. And what's really interesting is that just how during the ceremony the father gives the bride away, they did the same thing by having the bride move her stuff to the groom's home. On Julia's website, I learned that the wealthy's homes were designed to be safe from thieves. The outside windows were so small that no one could climb in; a guard dog was kept outside as well. CC could've had more pictures of the engagement ceremony or the post wedding. Julia could've checked over her website to make sure that there were no extra things left from the original template.
