Due October 23, 2009

For the past three years, I participated in [|Postcrossing.com]

Postcrossing is a project that facilitates international postcard exchange. Members obtain addresses and ID's from the site then send and receive actual postcards all over the world.



Reflection
I used a table for this data because I had a series of numbers to compare (226). I wanted to compare the number of postcards received and travel time for my top 10 countries. I had more than one category of information, at least two columns, and showed a comparison or relationship (226). I find the wiki limiting in how I can present information. There are not a lot of formatting options available. While creating this table I remembered Redish's words about formatting tables on the web so people focus on the information and not the lines (231). "Don't put thick lines between the columns or between the rows in a table" and "Don't center text in a table" (231).
