Final Blog

Reflecting on what I have learned in class: Using PhotoShop was a new experience for me. I realize now all the different neat things you can with that program. Things you see everyday using the internet and viewing photos that friends or family have created will definitely be appreciated differently. One thing I will walk away with is being able to understand people when they talk about websites. How they created them, what needed to be considered when they planned their website. I certainly do have a better comfort level in these conversations.

Compare/contrast the 2 websites. The two sites look basically the same. The same photos, the same text, same format. I created my webpage first. It was easier than I expected it to be. The weebly website provided all the formats for you, all you needed to do was click and drag. The tables were very easy to work with, you didn't have to create them, it was just a click and drag. You created your pages either by copying the finished page or creating a blank one and naming it. That easy. The navigation was created by the pages you named and designed. My website was not a difficult one, it was on a personal level so I didn't use the forms, or have to include many details for navigation.
Using the html to create a website was a little trickier. You chose a format, but then you have to create your home page with a home button and then save it to the desktop. I did not have to do this with my weebly website. You had to work more with the tables in html. Posting pictures were basically the same for both websites.
My final projects were what I had designed. I decided to stick to a simple clean website and it worked for me.
