my html site or "a failure from which I learned alot"






So web design is much harder than I realized it would be and Dreamweaver kind of drove me crazy. I felt like I was not ever able to actually see what something would look like and I had to nudge divs and then view in browser so often I was hating Dreamweaver by the end of this project. I know that I was not creating this in the most optimal way and I did a project that was way, way too big in scope for my first project. I actually did not create a complete site because of it's size and I spent entirely too much time trying to make a complex navigation system work that ultimately was pointless because I had designed navigation to have redundancies. I will work on a much narrower project for my flash site and I will try to have a solid basic site instead of having things in it that I don't understand (like java script) and therefore cannot troubleshoot. I am not loving web design today, but I really felt (at around 3 am) that I was understanding a few things better.

spry


We were introduced to spry navigation menus today. It was just what I needed for my website. I played around with spry accordian. I am really glad I don't have to learn java scripting this week.
