SECRETARY TRACY: I come before you today in embarrassment. The web page we made for the BPA sucks. I don't know how we got to be one of the top 12 in the state that were selected... unless there were only 12 in the state.

We started work on it perhaps 2 weeks before the deadline, we had perhaps 2 months.  As a matter of fact, we only really worked hard the last week.

I'm not sure how Josh, Jake, and Brian feel about it, but we did get very lucky.  The page is not as flashy as this one, nor is it as detailed.  I made one pretty picture on the front.  The layout is similar to the layout on this site, only its smaller.  There is a navigation bar on the left with graphical buttons.  Like with this page, a lot of it info behind the buttons is BS. Not lies, just information we basically copy pasted from all over the internet. The cool things about these buttons is that they are mouseovers and they highlight when the mouse goes over them.  But that's about it.

Other than those buttons and the thing on the front page, all the pictures are free clip art that Brian took from all over the net.  With all the backtracking looking for authorization for the clip art, I probably could have made all the graphics.

In all honesty, the four of us planned on going to state with something that wasn't the web site.  Except Brian, but he had to wash the Girk's dishes. I mean, I thought (along with the other people in our chapter) that my computer generated graphic was going to place 1st at districts.  It placed 4th and only the top 3 went to state.

Same with everyone else on the web team.  We weren't relying on this web site to send us to State.  We just got lucky it did. 

Our web page sucks. We probably aren't going to nationals.

If you want to see it, go to the Chesterton High School site and click on the Business Professionals of America link then click on the Web Team link.  I'd tell you the exact address, but I really don't want people to see it. It is awful compared to this web site
