Web Design II
There is no getting around exploring Dream Weaver on your own. This Blog can only tell you how to do so much. We created a basic template as a running theme throughout the site by using Dream Weaver. You can create tables and import pictures fairly easy by just utilizing the menu options at the top of the screen. Once you have a template you can save it as your index, then anytime you want to create a new page with that same template, just manipulate it to your liking and go to "save as..." and save it as something other than "index." We chose to develop these menu options/different pages: who we are, portfolio, campus, hypertext links, contact and home. However, you can do yours however you would like. This information is probably the most important to developing the theme, color scheme, and ideas involved with your website.

Certainly no getting around Dreamweaver in one semester! But I think those who explored it did great! Personally, I got to know it better; having had just a tinge of experience with it, trying to help others with it helped me out.
Also, Dreamweaver isn’t the only web creator/editor. Word does a fine job, especially for those that use Word frequently. Mozilla worked for most students I think.
Being that our class work was done all through WebCT, there are a lot of difficulties creating a webpage, as WebCT limits access for students, no matter how well the instructor sets it up for us. WebCT eliminates most of the powerful & extremely useful features of Dreamweaver, like synchronization, remote access, style sheets, & referring links to our class website to others not in the class. I found WebCT painful to navigate: everything opens in the same page - emails disappear REAL easy because of just that, uploading a revised page or image does NOT overwrite the original like it options & the search function does not produce good results. Sorry to complain so much, but as frustrating as learning new media is, WebCT (like iLearn) adds to the frustration.
