Week 2 - Web Art and Design

Today's activities: creating a new blog, discussion about identity, art and design, tutorial on html, dreamweaver introduction.

I wouldn't say that I'm good at dreamweaver, but I pretty much know the basics. I've never used tables for layouts before, so that's new, but not something that I wouldn't be able to learn and find out by myself. The one I'm interested in is CSS layouts, used it before for my last year's elective. Tried to self-teach myself about CSS, very VERY confusing in the beginning, and still confusing in the end. Somehow I got lucky that I pulled it off in the end, through trials and errors.

a very simple layout, but the heading and the writting going down on the right side is what makes it tricky in the beginning. I guess even though it's way harder than using tables, once you got it working, it's a lot less work, since you can use and link one style for the whole site, which makes it much easier to edit.
