Website Construction in Groups

We utilized our first class period almost soley devoted to the class website to review past class websites. We identified things we liked and disliked. Liked: student pictures with names attached, a digital/"computeresque" style template or webpage layout. Disliked: the idea of putting personal emails under "contact us."

The class also broke into several groups that were assigned to specific areas of the class website. The groups are: Contact us/this how-to blog, Website template design, Mission statement, Photography (one person), Editorial (for posted papers), and Who we are.

today a few of us in the web design group met in the office to go over our web editor & some difficulties we're having with preserving the css (style sheet).
as it turned out we didn't do so much with dreamweaver as we had hoped, but we sure laughed a lot.
la professore demonstrated her skills with embedding the styles rather than using a style sheet, since the .html pages act/look different on WebCT than on our hard drives when we want to download/upload to edit them.
what's exciting to me are the students that are enthused about web editing and they've never done it before, so they plunge into it!
we've divvied up the 5 or 6 pages to build (based on the home page), decided against a template, & realized Dreamweaver version 4 isn't anything like the new versions -- yet you can download trial versions of either from SFCC.
our web design group grew since adding the yet unrealized talents of Justin & Carl.
coming up with images that have to do with 'hybrid' seems to be moving a bit slow, it's not that easy building webpages without content. i created an animated gif 'hypertext' and snagged an atom from Carl's web review page that he snagged from online somewhere... same with my avatar here, it's from the 'internet'...
