Well after the past 4 days I have to say that my web page is the very basic of web pages, and probably one of the most boring. This is due to the time I have spent on just coming to terms with using html.
Firstly I have to say that I had difficulty getting the swirlies background, but thanks to Katherine Lynch I finally got it, plus I found a site that gave me backgrounds, glitters etc.
The mere fact that I am a complete novice at this techno talk showed in my frustration about trying to get the gist of html. But the sense of achievement I felt when my photos of my dogs show on the web page was like taking a computer drug, you just want to have more and more.
From a novice's point of view, html is way harder than blogging. For one thing with blogging I do not need to know any html tags. In saying that, I think knowing how to edit html is a great insight into (basic) computer programming.
I have to say that I prefer the ease of blogging without having to edit html tags, as my degree is in Accountancy not IT. I am not to sure if I will ever use what I have learned in this course, but I am really glad that I am doing NET11.
I have not fully completed the task as yet, as I am waiting on more information in regards to uploading my very boring and basic web page. This is all very new to me and not having all of the information to complete a task (like the ftp address of curtin's server) can be a little irritating as I do not know exactly what I am doing and feel as if I might fail this task by not understanding what I am do to.
Anyway, onto the WWW Standards task and I will let you all know once I have uploaded my web page to the presentation area in webct.
Stay tuned for another riveting blog from the IT newbie....
