This site will include my practice work from the class and the book assignments. Well, actually, it will include links to those as this page will end up long enough with out including all my work on just this page.

Assignments:

Hand coding with HTML refreshed my knowledge that you don't need a fancy web design program to make a web page. But it doesn't hurt!

Week Three Practice

Week 3 practice was actually uploaded and then deleted, thus I've linked my book assignment here. However, I did create a small site put some information on it, uploaded and removed it from the remote location.

Week Four Practice

This week we created four pages. I uploaded photos to one page and practiced including alternate names for the photos. Thus for assessibility, people who use readers, will know what my photos are by the description. I also put text on another page and learned the difference between creating new paragraphs and creating a break in the text.

Week Five Practice

This week we again created four pages. I uploaded photos to each page, labeled them with alternate names and uploaded the files. Then I went back and made changes to page one using the page properties. Clearly, it looked much different the second time I uploaded. Actually ugly, because I just randomly picked colors. Won't do that again!

Week Six Practice

This week I created four pages with text and links to the other pages. I edited one page setting formatting using the HTML in the page properties section. Then I set CSS styles the same way. As they were embedded in the page, I coped and pasted them to an external style sheet. Then linked all additional pages to that style sheet.

Labs

Images.html

I resized photos using various tools. The resample tool after a photo has been resized, allows for a much smaller file size. I also linked to the full size, should someone wish to wait for the photo to load. Cropping reduces the file size too, but also cuts out most of the photo. Changing a png photo to a gif, if possible also reduces the total file size. Images with few colors are perfect examples of photos or graphics that can be saved as gif files. Each is a good way to reduce upload time of larger files.
