This has been an interesting week in ED 421. We've been given workshopping time to develop our websites (which I was initially excited about) and I almost immediately became overwhelmed with the amount of time it takes to create something on Dreamweaver. For example, I like the "Cascading Style Sheets" options, but they take FOREVER to define and apply. Wouldn't it be so much easier if we could just highlight certain sections to change the font, colors, and background (like you would in a Microsoft Word document)?
And the end product of the Dreamweaver website is rather lackluster. I'm a little disappointed by the lack of color choices and the blocky, basic look of everything. I am sure, however, that if I knew more HTML code and more of the tools on Dreamweaver that I would be able to create a more sophisticated-looking website. In the end, I'm glad to have had experience learning about code and using Dreamweaver. In the future, I will either learn more about code so that I can create a better website or I'll (more likely) choose a website provider with templates or a flash-based program. I want my professional website to look fancy... and someday it will. ;D
Thanks for a fun and educative term, Denvy! I really appreciate all of your guidance and patience.
