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: 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.

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.
