Midterm/ part deux

a. How did your images contribute to your website? What purpose did they serve?
On the home page, I chose a photo for its odd/ unexpected value relative to the subject, something that would naturally catch someone curiosity and draw them to look closer at the site. Other images used helped to illustrate the game board, pieces and strategies.

b. What challenges did you experience in displaying your images properly on your web page?
I was unhappy with the space surrounding the images, but didn't know how to address it until I learned about the box model. I was able to change 2 of the illustration-style images to gifs in order to make the files smaller. I also reduced the size of the home page photo.

c. How did understanding the box model assist you creating borders, padding and margins around your images?
The padding and border selectors/ declarations helped dress up the photos, as well as tie in colors used elsewhere in the site. The margins helped deal with spacing around the images that did not look good prior to tweaking with the margin control.

d. How does the placement of your hr tag assist users of your website?
It helps to break up the vertical space into "bite-size" visual chunks, which are easier on the eyes and mind to deal with.

e. How did the enhancements to your navigation improve your web site?
Using the box model for the nav tags in the CSS helped style the nav buttons into shapes and added visual cues that functioned as the user would expect them to. Easy navigation is a high priority for making the user's stay a pleasant one.

f. Add a link to your web site within your blog posting
Well, here ya go: it's about Scrabble

David peterson Midterm part 2

A.) my images contributed quite well for my web site do to the fact they helped me be able to give a visual reference to my viewers to compare between the different style consoles that are available for sale.

B.) In my attempts to create my images to properly display on my webpage unfortunately fell into some problems with dealing with the table I originally had up on my website. So I decided to destroy the table I had originally and to remake the entire pieces contents. This way I gave a overall better picture quality and reference to each picture and webpage.

C.) it allow me to be able to better understand how creating box models really works as well as the padding and margins because without understanding them and makes you feel quite lost I admit I still wish I knew more about them but I think I understand the basic concepts and have applied them.

D.) it has allowed for an overall better look and style for my contact page in allowing people to get the information that they need to be able to help with contact info as compared to a jumbled mess of paragraphs with just the

tags.

E.) he gave a better over all look and feel to the website as well as increased visibility for those impaired and easier accessibility for all due to the boxlike style shapes for the links.

Midterm Part 1

a. What worked well?
Having the blank sheet to work with really helped start me off. I used the practice css and html to help make a checklist of things that needed to be included in the site.


b. Who is your target audience? What design choices did choose to attract your audience to your site?

My target audience is any level drummer and those interested in info about drumming. I chose a simple color scheme that I think I may simplify even more, to give the website a basic feel.

c. What browsers did you test in? What differences did you see?
I tested in IE and Firefox. I noticed firefox occasionally shifted things a little which is still unresolved.


d. What troubleshooting did you experience?
I had to get the embedded videos centered which took a few tries, and I also had to space out the text and add a wrapper.



e. Describe your validating experience.
Unfortunately I didn't validate prior to making a few final changes which came to include quite a few validation errors. Before making changes the website validated fine in both XHTML and CSS.


f. What best practices discussed in class assisted in your productivity.

making class and id selectors really helped me out. span classes were helpful

Midterm Part One

a. What worked well?
Well, I'm not sure wh
b. Who is your target audience? What design choices did choose to attract your audience to your site?
My target audience would be people who have an interest in learning more about astrology and would like a brief introduction. I feel like astrology triggers more earthy colors, so I chose browns and reds and colors found in nature. I wanted the site to be warm and inviting.
c. What browsers did you test in? What differences did you see?
I tested in firefox, opera, and internet explorer. I noticed in opera that my page on signs got a little bit weird on the spacing. I'm not sure why that was since it stayed normal in both explorer and firefox.

It's hard for me to recall what troubleshooting errors I encountered. I think I just had a couple of open tags here and there that validating helped me to find and fix.

Validating was very easy and helpful. I like that it gives you the exact line number to reference.
f. What best practices discussed in class assisted in your productivity.
I think the ones that I focused on the most were making sure the navigation was easy to find, and keeping my text broken up and spaced out so as not to appear overwhelming.
