The topic of this website will be step by step how to clean
the computer. The purpose of making this site will help people to save money
and teach them how to clean the computers. The audience of the site will
attract everyday users but it might benefit the experience users.
Many competition sites help users to clean their computers
and also offers step-by-step and tips:
- "Microsoft at home"
- Speed up your PC: automate your computer maintenance schedule.
- "Cleaning Windows XP for Dummies"
- Optimize Windows 7 for better performance.
- ""Let's Dances"
The Microsoft at home (http://www.microsoft.com/athome/setup/cleancomputer.aspx#fbid=5YZYg5wpd-I?fbig=35yH675octC),
offers tips and how to clean your computer's hardware. I like how
Microsoft at home goes in to details and systematic how to take it apart and
correctly cleaning the hardware without damaging it in the process. I am going
to talk about some of their ideas how to maintain the computer without being
overcharged by average computer store. The only thing that I did not like
about the site is they do not offer a visual aid for those who need picture or
illustration. The audience for Microsoft home is for those who like to take
things apart and save money. The experience level doesn't necessary have to be
great in order to follow the Microsoft at home's directions; however, for
setting up automatic task scheduler the audience needs to have some knowledge
of using Windows operating systems. www.microsoft.com/athome/setup/maintenance.aspx#fbid=5YZYg5wpd-Icopy
. My objectives are to demonstrate setting up automatic task scheduler via
video. If this goes successfully, the user will not need to remember doing disk
cleanups, disk defragmentation, CCleaner, and Spybot Search and Destroy.
the "Optimize Windows 7 for better performance (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Optimize-Windows-7-for-better-performance
) talks about how to optimize Windows 7 for those who want performance
over Looks. This site is well written and easy to understand so the audience
should be able follow along very easily. Again, my thoughts the site can
improve on by adding videos and pictures for those who need a visual aid.
Let's Dances (http://securitytango.com/) is a site created by
YNN's computer technician Nick Francesco or computer guy for short. This
site offers systematic how to clean your computers. Nick's site has four
different links each represent how to clean that that particular operating
systems under the "Let’s dance!" button, the second link on the
navigation bar.
- The Windows waltz is for Windows operating systems
- The Linux Lambada is for Linux operating systems.
- The Androids Allemende is for Androids operating systems.
- The Macarena you are for Intel-based Macintosh's operating systems.
They security tango is overall a well written site however
the Nick Francisco, has not update some of his missions on his site for three
years. Like Microsoft at home, to improve security tango's website; they
should use visual aids for those who have trouble reading. The audience for
security tango is above average users that want to save money. Reason being
Nick isn't too clear on what to do when you dance (cleaning your computer).
The audience for my site is aim at those who have trouble
reading, see the words, and visual learner. The audiences for these five sites
should be able read this page for project two.
From reading all five links above, this site will have some
tips, step-by-step, and advice. Creating a video tutorial will help those who
have trouble reading the contents.
The software that I am going to use are screen capture
recording software called Camtasia screen recorder, the virtual machine with
Windows XP and Windows 7 installed (Oracle Virtualbox) with a working Macintosh computer as a host
and finally text to speech software (Textaloud).
