Done with site, re-checked everything today and it looks good.

nothing today, finished site yesterday

finished site and uploaded it, tomorrow we find out if it works, fix any problems and post screen shot on original site

Today I worked on the image selector thanks to Ms. Petr. After she gave me the java script, all I had to do was change some of the values and image sources. Now I have a menu to select what piece of work you want to see. Tomorrow I will add in the content

Today I made the basic site templets and tomorrow i will put in the content from mike.

Today, I worked on the logo's for our final site called "Digital age: graphic design". I had some problems with transparency in I.E. 6 but fixed it by just matching the background to the logo.

Today I turned in site #2 and started work on site three, for this project i am the designer and will do most of the graphics for the site. More creating work tomorrow...

Put together the pages today, didn't turn them it yet b/c they still need soem adjusting. Will turn in first thing tomorrow. Also put up image on portfolio site.

Today I made all the images for the menu which consist of a tv that turns on when you roll over it. Tomorrow is putting it in a web page and setting the background and such.

Today I again tried to get a media player on the site and again it didn't work. I think it may be something i can't fix. I will prob just end up linking the PBHS page to the site so the viwers can watch the content.

Today I tried again to find a FLV player with not much luck. Maybe the answer is to just link the user to the paint branch site for the media content. Also worked on the "links" and "calender" sections of content. Tomorrow Will try again with the video player.

Today I worked on the content for the page.
Tried to figure out how to take the video player from the main Paint Branch page but it didn't work

more of the same tomorrow

Today we finished and uploaded our first site project onto Ms. Petr's Website (www.petronline.com) Then my group decided on a club to research and make our second site project on. We choose the TV Production organization and filled out the planning sheet. I am the Content/editor and have started the first two pages of content. Tomorrow is more content making.

Scored thru 11/25 (20 pts possible) - see Edline for your score tomorrow evening.

fished everything today uncluding the CSS and background and sent it to Mike who will put together the site. Final touches tomorrow and then we turn it in.

Applied background in CSS file, tweaked background, added more CSS properties and values including lists and general page margins. Tomorrow will be more of the same. Content is coming and site layout is mostly done.

today i finished the nav bar and sent it to mike to put in the site and created the background as well as started the CSS file for our site pages. Site in general is coming along, kevon is done with logo and is typing up the content. Mike has the basic site layed out and is waiting for the content to be done. no problems yet

Made all the vavigation picts today, they need siome tuning...

tomorrow i will fix the nav stuff and start on more logos and such

http://period7.petronline.com/andy_kevin_michael/home.html

posted our site on Ms. Petr's and turned it in today. Also did self evaluations.

hardest part was probably getting the navigation bar to work right with all the transparent problems and then the background not looking good with it. Second hardest: making up all that junk about our company. Its hard to be creative.

Site is pretty much done, all we have to do is go back and make sure theres nothing on the rubric that we left out. Other then that, we are done.

just need to fix the navigation buttons and apply the logos/graphics to the rest of the pages. other then that we're done.

Site is almost done, just need the css sheet and logo/background imported.

Today we worked on our website more. Home and Porfile pages made progress for me. Logo is almost done. same with CSS files. Website is coming along nicely. Also figured out how to use the nav bar config in dream weaver. monday is more work.

Scored through 10/31. All blogs from this point forward are second marking period.

today we wored on our projects, got a basic color idea as well as name logo and what members are doing. currently i'm working on the nav buttons. beans sucks

Started Company website prjects:

Company Name: Blue Code

Team members: Andy Zepp, Kevon Beanes, Mike Tah

Goal: Creat a five page website showing the company name and motto as well as some info on the group. Colors and navigation must be the same throughout the pages.

Today was make-up day. MAGNIFICENT! i gots all my work in, i think. monday we will start on something new...WOO!

Crap! Arjun told me to look at the rubric again, so i did. Turns out I was missing the part where it says to add a heading to the page. I did that today and finished the morning announcements script. Very productive!

Ok now today i finished my haunted house. I looked at the rubric and saw that there had to be included links to relevent sites. So i added those links and re-exported. Its even better than before.

Today i finished my haunted house and exported it to a html and a bunch of gif files. Its looks mighty cool. Unlike beans', mine is completly hand made with all the included warm pie goodness. There are ten roll-overs, but some of them are hard to find! ;)

Today we worked on our haunted house. We also figured out how to link a rollover behavior to a differnt frame other then the second one. Tomorrow I have to finish my house by adding 5 more rollover behaviors.

Scored through 10/18. Check Edline for scores on Monday evening.

Today we continued to make more gifs. My rotating gear failed at working so I will try try again tomorrow.

Today we made gif pictures which are graphic image files. Some advantages are: they can be animated, they work with all browsers and they can do transparency. However, they have lower quality then other types such as jpg or png types.

Tomorrow I will learn how to export the gif animations I made today.

Question: What progress was made today on your solution? What needs to be done next class?

Today I finished up my color worksheet and started messing around in fireworks 8 making some logos and such. So far I've only made one. Next class i need to make some more graphics and complete the worksheet for making the web page.

Scored through 10/5. Check edline on Monday evening for grade.

Question: How did you use a particular command that will help jog your memory in the future?

In an external css page, you simple use the name of the tag in front of { and then specify the parameters you want to change. The only except I have found for this rule so far is links. With links you must type link, then a colon and what type of link. After that you close the bracket (}) and start a new one if needed.

Question: What progress was made today on your solution? What needs to be done next class?

Finished the final touches on my CSS file and web page which included adding a table and fixing some small typing errors. Finished the project and turned it in before the end of class.

Today, in website Design...

Question: What choices did you face in developing your solution, and how did you choose them?

Today I had to create an external CSS file to determine the style of any number of web pages with the link code to that page. I had to choose various colors, sizes, fonts, pictures for anything from heading tags to the background layout. I tried to keep some of the colors and sizes uniform, but sometimes I just chose random values for the sake of making it different. I also experimented with a picture background for links which didn't turn out as well as I had hoped but has potential for a cool design.

See arjun's post for today.

Question: How did you use a particular command that will help jog your memory in the future?

To remember the CSS command for an external .CSS file you can thing of the code that goes in the head as a picture code except instead of "img src="you put "link rel=" and simply add a "style='text/css" to the tag like you would a height or width tag. Then you close the tag like usual and now the whole page will reflect the css style in the external file.

Question: What choices did you face in developing your solution, and how did you choose them?

To make a table in word was much harder then I though. It kept resizing it and everything and then it would be all mushed. I had to find a font that was small but readable. Other then that I chose my sites to compare based on the variance of features and how often they popped up on my Google searches. Not much else to it!

Question: What progress was made today on your solution? What needs to be done next class?

I know I just answered this but today we had another worksheet and I finished it again. It was about the different types of hosting and different internet terms. Basically, if you pay for your hosting, you are going to get a much better service with a domain and no ads or anything rather then a free site. However for just messing around with your own pages, free sites are not bad, just not for a serious web page.

Scored on 9/23/07. Check edline for grade posting tomorrow evening.

Question: What progress was made today on your solution? What needs to be done next class?

Made my first multi page website today. Though basic, it is the start to a whole new way of creating elaborate and extensive web pages. It went pretty quick and I finished so nothing else needs to be completed!

Today, in website Design...

Question: How did you use a particular command that will help jog your memory in the future?

As complicated as HTML is, most of the command make complete sense if you think about it. For example: when using the style command you type "style", for font face type "font-face" and color, "color" is used. This can be seen in other commands such as an ordered list. The command is cleverly "ol" standing for "ordered list". Crazy huh?

Question: Are there any specific tips you would give to someone else tackling the same problem? How would what you suggest benefit that person in solving the problem?

This was probably the hardest assignment yet for me because it required one to really play around in the program to see all that it can do in making tables. It took me a while just to figure out that the beach picture had to be a background and not just in the table space as an image file. I would suggest having the picture of the example either right next the dream weaver window or close by to compare every now and then. This way you can better get an Idea for the sizes and layout without having to remember it all.

Today, in website Design...

Question: What problems did you encounter while developing your solution? How do you plan to over come them?/How did you over come them?

We started tables today and I had some trouble getting started, but now have the hang of it. When first making the navigation type table with the different colors it took me awhile to figure out how to get the table to how I wanted it which I achieved by adjusting the cell sizes and deleting/adding columns/rows as needed. The dream weaver crashed so I had to restart as I had not saved. Finally I couldn't figure out how to get the boarders around the white boxes and non around the others and the whole thing. It took me a bit to understand to set the border of the whole thing to 4 pixels and then the main border to white and the inner borders that I wanted yellow set to yellow. Now with my betetr idea of tables I plan to finish up the activity tomorrow or the next day.

Score thru 9/14 6/4
You can fix and resubmit project.

Today, in website Design...

Finished up project, but after turning it in realized that I had used copyrighted pictures which is not good. Also I forgot to remove the many other photos in my images folder. Oops, hopefully I can re-turn it in on Monday at the beginning of class.

Question: How did you go about testing your page? What were the results?

Well first I opened in with I.E. and made sure everything looked right, read it over, made sure there were no obvious errors. Then I went down the page and clicked on every link to ensure that it worked the way it should. Then I noted to myself possible fixes and added content that I could add to improve the page. I found only a few link errors mainly with spelling problems for ex. the school link's ID was shcool which caused a dead link in the nav bar at the top. Other then that nothing else was found. I did however add some more links to pages in a few sections.

ABSENT: Sept. 12th/13th

Out for senior Unity day Wed.

No School Thursday

Today, in website Design...

still working on the project...

Question: What choices did you face in developing your solution, and how did you choose them?

Lets see here...Not too many choices to make on my project as it is mostly already laid out in the rubric/guidelines. I did however decide on a plain grey background with a blue and black graphics/text to give the site kind of mac feel. Also added a small nav area at the top of my page as well as added links to the top after each section. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to add more images and have them organized nicely and neatly. Not much for today.

Entries up through 9/10 scored!

Started project, learned about design feature in dreamweaver.

Question: Provide yourself with an example of how you use a particular command.

Well we have just learned how to use the "img" tags including the alt="", hieght="" and width="" additions. We also learned that even if you resize the image it is still as big (file size wise) as before just it appears smaller on the page. This could cause problems for those users still with dial-up or just create annoying D/L times. Here is an example of the "img" code in use.

QUESTION:
3. Are there any spesific tips you would give someone else tackling the same problem?
How wouldwhat you suggest benifit that person in solving the problem?

Ok well I found out the problem I was having, the anchors didn't work b/c I had copied and pasted them into dream weaver instead of writing them so it for some reason didn't like that and didn't allow workage. Tips? TYPE IT OUT prob better for remembering and for working. This will help someone with the same problem save a lot of lost time looking for the problem line by line. I also figured out I had left out the last part of the directions and added it to my site before the "exam".

Final version: http://home.comcast.net/~jmk7569/beans_sucks.html

Today, in website Design...

Lets see, today I worked more on my site adding more features like a black background and a nav bar. Also on the actually assignment by adding the necessary sections complete with links and all.

QUESTION:
6. What progress did you make today on your solution?
What needs to be completed next class?

Unfortunately the "go to" links or anchors didn't work... not sure why but i'll check it out. Next class, more refinement and small things but it is looking good so far. should be done by the beginning of class tomorrow!

BREAKING NEWS

UPDATE: ANDY SUCKS.

Today, in website Design...

Question #1:
What problems did you encounter while developing your solution?
How do you plan to overcome them?
How did you overcome them?

I have just started making my first of hopefully many web pages with the help of the "More Tags- more simple html" Worksheet. I have so far encountered only a few problems. One being a bad link code in which the was not properly used as well as some organizational issues. Because of my needing to get to the bus, I had to run out just after checking my progress for the first time. I'm sure it was something stupid where I didn't use a close bracket or am missing a
. Tomorrow I will promptly fix these issues and go on in improving my site.
