#8 Learning for Dummies

Well, here we are coming to the end of yet another quarter. This class has been very fun for me. It has a been a long time since I had developed a website, especially one this intricate.

I re-learned lots of things and refreshed my memory. I have been uploading my website, and I could not remember how to do it FTP style through dreamweaver. I literaly pulled out the help index and started reading like crazy.

The best part about this whole website, was starting with an small idea, and then as I started to develop bits and pieces, everything just kept growing and getting bigger then I ever imagined.

I didn't have too many struggles because of my background knowledge of websites and design. So I felt pretty comfortable with everything. Most of the time I referenced my help index in my editing program. Because believe me if you do no know how to do something in your selected program, it is always best to look at the program's help section. Like the old cliche, guys don't stop for directions because guys don't get lost. Too bad, if they did, they would get to where they are going a lot faster! This can be applied to web design as well.


I have uploaded my website, I am still working on some of the kinks I found, but feel free to check it out, and let me know what you think!!!!!
Here are some links to some helpful websites I found.

Well, for me most of this stuff was brand new. I have never used Dreamweaver....sounds like it is a little complicated. I bet your website rocks though.
Keep up the great work.
