Week one day two: Trying to read handouts about HTML and CSS on your own is dull, apparently I am distracted today.
Week one day three: OK focus, read notes, ahhh they do make sense. Right I'm on this.
Week one day three continued: Access to Dreamweaver achieved... crack knuckles and get in there.
So basically I have done the same thing as everyone else, ran through the work sheet (although I haven't done the bit about links yet, that excitement is yet to behold my keyboard fingers), made this blog, and made a bit of web coding for a few lines of text.
I've used the same links as everyone else:
http://www.csszengarden.com/
http://www.w3schools.com/css/
My learning / reflection points:
- Why does CSS Zen garden open with the hovering links box over half the text on my work computer? This made me hate the site, if you are going to be an example of good design then get it right. All the other pages open beautifully, so basically the makers of Zen garden are rubbish. I have taken them off my Christmas card list.
- Trying to write this blog using HTML instead of the editing functions is pointless since there is not really any editing I want to do, but putting in line breaks and making stuff bold was momentarily fun.
- I don't know how to make my div id=wrapper align properly. Why is it in the middle of the page? It's not supposed to be there, I'm not telling it to be there, why does it have a life of it's own?*
- Colour doesn't have a 'u' in it. This is probably my biggest learning point. I shall go through all my childhood books immediately and tip-ex it out.
*Clearly the only answer is that our worst fears have been realised and technology is self forming into a conscious entity. Note to self: ask about this in class and reign that self centered bad boy back in.
