Week 8


In todays class we talked how important it is to have the right sized image on our website. Stuart told us that the maximum size of the image should be no larger than 50KB for a jpeg image and 72 D.P.I. When we attach an image to our websites they sound be saved as a jpeg. This helps the size of the image to stay small. For us to resize the image we have to use photoshop; file -> save for web and device. Then in this tool you change the type of the image that it is saved and the quality. This will reduce the size of the image. After our lecture with Stuart we stated working on both our websites and our publication. i mostly worked with my publication as i have forgotten most of the things that Stuart taught us is the first couple of weeks and wanted to refesh my memory. After a couple of questions i remembered how to do the main things for my book. I am so excited to finish it and see the end product.

Week 7 - Building a 3 page Website




Today was an interesting day. We were given a sample website with two pages and we were to put in information to do with some sort of recipes. i thought that this was really interesting as it put all my skills to the test and it showed me what i need to work on. This is what i have come up with i think i did quite well as i was feeling sick this morning and came a hour late also.

Week 6 - building and understanding a Website


Today Stuart told us the difference between the two different websites that can be made, linear website and a nodal website.
A Linear website can only go in one direction from going from page (link) to page and it will never change. As for the nodal it can go in any direction, there as no restrictions of where to go.
Even though i have tried to make other websites in other classes before i think that Stuart made it much easier to understand how to construct a website.
The new dreamwever though, i believe, has become a little bit more complicated when it comes to changing the colour of the font on the Website.
Overall, this lesson was really helpful as it will also help me for other classes.
Here is my page that i made today...
