Subject:More guidelines please.....
Time:12:32 pm.
Mood: rushed.
I'm currently trying to pick a website on which to write an essay about how best to approach archiving its contents. I was meant to pick one about a month ago but, as with all things I'm meant to do, I kept forgetting. Now I really need to pick one before Wednesday to prevent my lecturer from losing it.

Only problem is I don't have a frickin' clue where to start. Our only guidelines are as follows:

1. It shouldn't be too big (i.e. nothing like the BBC or BA.....)
2. It should contain as many different types of media as possible (images, video, audio, pdfs, flash animation.....)
3. At least some of the website should be constructed using scripting and a database.
4. It shouldn't be anything too embarassing to hand in as assessed work (OK, this one is mine.....)

I really wish we'd been given more specific instructions than these. Even having a site assigned would have been grand, in the end I'm going to be concentrating more on how to archive the different file types rather than discussing the content itself.

I've had a look at a few gallery sites to see if anything fits the bill but sadly they've all been too boring or too big. Any of you guys got suggestions? I'm open to anything and everything at this point.......
