Well this is the last blog entry that I will be making for the class. I guess I am supposed to talk about how I’ve improved at making sites from the beginning of the semester to the end of the semester.
First off, from the very beginning of the class, when I stepped into the classroom, I had no clue how to make a website. I had no knowledge of how to make a website, zero, zip, nadda, etc… But very soon, once we started to get into the HTML coding, I immediately got used to it and picked up on it. I tend to put a lot of quality into my work, which caused me to take a longer time to finish my work.
When we were first introduced to using Fireworks, I also had no clue of how to use it. But because I use Photoshop, I soon got the hang of Fireworks. Fireworks ended up becoming a crucial part to most of my sites, since I ended up using it for everthing from text to rollover buttons.
When I was first introduced to divs I felt that they were very confusing, though I did notice that they were very helpful. Just like with Fireworks, divs ended up becoming extremely crucial to my last few sites, especially my last site.
I think that when I compare my knowledge of how to make websites at the beginning of the semester to now, it has increased dramatically, considering that I didn’t have any previous knowledge on how to make websites until I took this class. This was a fun class and I learned a lot from it, and I hope that I can continue to use the knowledge that I learned in the future.

Today I continued to work on my boy scout troop web site. I did not get as much done as I had hoped to get done today because I forgot to check to see if my troop’s leader’s sent me the neccessary information to add to the site. So what I spent my time doing was working on a spacer for different sections of text on the site, rather than using just a dull horizontal rule. I know that this isn’t the longest blog but that’s all I’ve got to say.

I haven’t blogged in a while because I have been busy with projects. I have been focusing on my web site for my Boy Scout troop, which is coming along well. I learned a little bit of css, but because I get out early the teacher said I should focus on the boy scout site. For the site I started with a layout test page, using fireworks, which really helped keep me on track and help me with the placement of everything. I am really pleased with the calendar page because I successfully embedded a google calendar I made for the troop onto the page. The site’s home page is coming along well. For both pages I used a lot of divs, because without them I wouldn’t have been able to get the site to the look the way I want it to look. I plan on showing the troop’s leaders what I have so far at our weekly meeting tomorrow.

I have not blogged in a while, since 4/5/10 I believe. Let’s see what I’ve been doing since then. After I was done with my Star Wars site I learned a little bit about divs and anchors, the first time I actually used divs was on my grade school memories project, so that I could freely move my text around to where I wanted it. After that We saw a couple of videos about the history of computers, they were called “Triumph of the Nerds.” After that I have been working on a website for my Boy Scout troop. I have not made much progresss, but I am currently working out a layout for the site. I have to pick up the pace and get the site finished and up and running soon.

I haven’t blogged in a little while, i think about over a week ago. I have been using Dreamweaver to make a page about something I like, so I chose Star Wars. I think it came out really well, considering it isn’t fully completed, by which I mean I have the majority of it completed and the pieces I am missing I have the basis of what they will look like. I am hoping that I’ll have time to come back and finish some of these unfinished sites. I had issues connecting a link between my portfolio page and my Star Wars page, but I solved it. Now I am working on the SoCal Diesel page on Dreamweaver. I will unfortunately not be albe to complete this on time, due to issues I had encountered with during my Star Wars page project. I think that is all that there is to say for now.

Today I worked on my Star Wars page using Dreamweaver. I got the page titles done for both pages, and I got the essential buttons (i.e. the home button and the button to the second page) done for each page. I may put in more buttons and/or links if necessary. And I still have to put in images for each page, as well as any text for each page. Although each page does not have much on it, I feel that I can get it done. I think that’s about it.

Today I continued to work on the grade school memories project. I have got the basic text down, I just need to finalize it into paragraphs. I need to make fireworks images for the page titles, and change the background color. This is another short post but that’s all I have to say for today.
And it’s St. Patrick’s Day.

Today I continued to work on the memories project. I learned how to make frame not resize, which is very good. My coding had one little missing percentage which caused the web page to resize every time, which was very aggrevating. But I got that solved after some time. I learned how to make links appear in certain frames, in this case the center frame, which was fairly easy to understand. I still need to add in the memories for each grade, and I will have to think very hard to remember some, but I think I can do that. I think that’s all I have to say.

Today I made the wine country page, and it was pretty easy. But unfortunately I got stuck trying to finish it, actually I got stuck with the links between my portfolio page and the wine country page. So by the time I solved my problem, I missed out on learning about frames, so I will have to stay after to learn it. That’s pretty much all that happened, which means another short post.

This post might be a little short due to the time left I have to write it. I finished a, I’ll call it, rough draft of my index page of my portfolio. It has the images and working links, and so do its links. I will have to go back and fix up the index page, and my fictional character page, so that they can be finished. I’m not sure what else to say.
