My HTML Website

Hey guys,

So of course I’m sure as you should know by now I am an animator in my First year at CSU doing a Bachelor of Arts (Animation and Visual Effects.)

At the moment I have been currently working on a HTML website for a Subject called MPI-104. So here is what I’ve done!

The Trials & Tribulations of Creating my HTML Website;

Originally I had not realised how hard it was to create a website that actually looked relatively okay within using just a notepad application. It was fairly confusing trying to get a hang of the original coding and if it wasn't for w3schools.com I don’t think I would have been able to manage getting the look I did.

To start off I had to figure out how to use a CSS code sheet properly, it took me a while to get used to the different style of code but once there I figured it out pretty quickly. I learned how to position my background image and repeat it so that it would only get down the right hand side of the page. This I thought gave me a relatively styled outline for the whole website so I could have a fair amount of information but not enough to give the “readers” an information overload.

I created a simple black style with green writing so that it stands out, I am particularly partial of the linking page to my Blogger, Flickr and Delicious, I think that having the frames in a single page can help the “readers” find more about me just by scrolling through them even though there are link on my about me homepage.

Another thing I really like about my website is my portfolio page in general. I think the alignment of the images although slightly haphazard is still in an orderly style and the image rollover with the little caption that comes up is handy to tell people what the image is.

So in conclusion I learnt that without w3schools helping me with the coding of both HTML and CSS I would almost definitely be lost and without a website, I also learnt that it takes a while to get a reasonable looking website and that without the right order of code or if you have any code missing the work is that much harder because you have to sift through more code to see what works and what doesn’t when you’re trying to change it.

anyway enough of this boring talk about HTML.
