Reflection:

I had a lot of fun designing the layout for my website, but it was pretty difficult to transfer to my design to Dreamweaver. This is partly my fault since I created a fairly complicated design with two templates and a flash page. However, it wasn’t connecting these templates that I found difficult but the getting little functions to work like the light box gallery or the tagxedo. I actually ended up taking out the interactive tagxedo because I discovered it didn’t work on Mac computers. I also didn’t use a contact me form, because I wanted my email to be accessible, but I might change it be encoded later. I will be updating my research and internship information as that develops, but I tried to include interesting information for now. I don’t think I really understand how to use Dreamweaver yet, but I will be able to edit my website in the future.
