Assignment 4: A Website You Enjoy Visiting

In 150 words or more, write about a website you enjoy visiting. Say how you found this site, and how often you visit it. Explain what you like about the website and add a link to the webpage.

Example: I enjoy reading The New York Times online, and found it via a friend. I visit at least twice a week, and enjoy reading all types of articles. I like the mix of news that is available and the various perspectives covered. This week I found this NYT blog post particularly interesting. The links on the side allow you to procrastinate more effectively, while simultanenously learning about ethics and other things. I hope you enjoy my link!
