DW CIB: Lesson 1

I have used Dreamweaver exactly one time before this class. It was a mess. When I have succeeded in creating a web page in the past it's usually been through another site like angelfire.com (from about 10 years ago!). Those sites are nice but they are extra limited.

This time I had fun when I used Dreamweaver. It's amazing what instructions can do for new software! I'm excited to learn more so. The versatility of the software is convenient and user-friendly. I just hope everyone else had as much fun as I did!
"FTP: For the People" an article found on Webmonkey:

I think I read this article twice, maybe three times. I understood most of it (after the last time). The concepts seem easy enough, it's the execution that I don't exactly get. I'm going to try this when I get home. (I've just gotten a new computer *sigh* I had to give up the pretty MacBook for a not-as-pretty Vaio. The Mac wasn't mine but my mom's, we do computer swapping quite a bit in my family, nonetheless I was still sad to see it go).

I feel pretty confident with my ability to pick things up if I try (and fail miserably a time or two). I'm sure I'll have all sorts of questions, but it sounds like fun to surf around and find new things to get into.

Hello! Welcome to my blog site! Take a look around, there's not much here yet but I'll be updating shortly with an array of posts mostly for school. I will also hope to change the look of the page. Keep it interesting. I'd love ideas and suggestions!
