Continuing with the Dreamweaver, today we went over the basics of creating a webpage. Since dreamweaver automatically creates the HTML codes for you, we focussed more on how to create a well-designed website.
Firstly, like everything else we've worked on through out the year, remember to keep things original. Anyone can use a pre-made template and call it their website, to really achieve more with your site custom pages, backgrounds etc will show your true abilities. Also remember to keep all the images used on your website in the folder you have your webfiles! The actual webapge doesn't hold your images or links, for them to still show up on the website you'll have to make sure that pictures are accessible from anywhere. Embedding the pictures into the folder along with your webpages works best.
As for HTML, we were given a website that is to help us with quickly grabbing hold of important text tags etc: http://www.webmonkey.com/reference/HTML_Cheatsheet
This site is helpful for us to study from, and get used to working with HTML, however Dreamweaver makes working with HTML very simple because it allows users to create their sites without actually having to write out the HTML coding. It has three views, one that allows you to write out HTML codes, another in which you can only see your webpage, and a third one with a split between the two.
As I've mentioned in previous posts, we can use the website we create to host our Portfolio, which is basically just a collection of all our best work this year in BTT. I'm still not too sure of what I'll be putting up in my portfolio, but I'm going to work on creating the website first.
That's all for now
