Here is a 4 page site I made for upcoming Connecticut concerts for the month of February. I included a splash page that includes links to Toad's Place, Mohegan Sun, and The Webster. On each of the 3 venue pages, I included links to the venues' official website as well. Then, I included text about upcoming concerts. I purposely didn't link back to the splash page, thinking that once the user is into the venue sites, it wasn't necessary to return there.
I had a lot of fun with revamping the look of my recipe page. I added a background image, jazzed up fonts & colors, had some fun with my bullets and even figured out how to add blinking text! One of the sites I got from CSS Zen Garden's CSS Resource Guide (listed as Web Developer's Handbook, which I will also bookmark) was a huge help. Enjoy!
Derek Jeter is a great baseball player, but is he Hall of Fame caliber? Check out his statistics against a couple of other Hall of Hame shortstops and decide for yourself.
This is a YouTube video demonstration of Java Basics. It begins with "Notepad isn't all bad." That caught my attention right away because I am a complete Newbie to Java Programming.
This is my peach daquiri recipe. The picture is a mango daquiri, which is also good. This is because Flickr did not provide a creative commons picture that I found appealing.
This is a short little video comparing the difference between HTML and CSS to the difference of black/white or color photographs. The pictures are from a vacation to Sanibel Island, Florida and the West River in Guilford, CT.
Here is a very basic multi-page site dedicated to Walt Disney World. Each of the four theme parks has its own webpage, linked together through navigation at the bottom of the page.
I'd forgotten how hand coding (vs Dreamweaver) can be a time consuming feat! But I survived and it's helping to re-learn basic html codes!
With some consternation, I'm going to go ahead and use the Blackboard gradebook. Bah.
Q: Will there be an opportunity to earn extra credit in the event that the student has an A- but was not considered creative enough in assignments to earn an A?
Thought I would share with everyone a bit about myself. It was interesting creating a page without tags because I was limited to the layout running on and on without line breaks or margins on the page. I tend to design sites with organization and structure and this was totally out of the ordinary for me. Happy Reading.
So, great page. But :)... Tables for layout is bad news. There's no way to predict how it will be viewed on some devices, and it makes it harder (in some cases) to be spooned into a CMS. So, fine for now, but lose the <table> habit for anything other than tables as we move forward.
(In this case, floating the image to the left would accomplish the same effect, but provide a liquid layout...)
Here is a simple three-page site about the Pilates method of physical conditioning. The site features a what is pilates page, history of pilates page and basic equipment page with photos and descriptions. Visitors are able to navigate to each of the three pages from one another. An issue I ran into was knowing how to gage the size of the images and how that affected the text size of the headings.
After an afternoon of attempting to figure out CSS, I think I've got a basic understanding. I think the (Oprah) aha! moment happened. I used the site/page I created in the first set of challenges to create this navigation bar. The bar also features a rollover.
Here is a recipe for thin, crispy sugar cookies that are honestly like nothing else you have probably ever had. They are so tasty and remind me a of every Christmas growing up, enjoy!
HTML is the "correct" choice, though .htm will also work. The latter is a result of limitations of the early DOS & Windows systems, which could only handle 3 letter extensions (and 8 letter filenames). Why is it still used today? Microsoft continues to push it as a feature, not a bug, and those using MS servers or ASP are more likely to use it, unless, of course, it is a .asp page. But the standard usage is still .html.
