CITS F222: Blog Editor

Here is my centered link to a great show and great food its the F Word.

Ahh the Laughing Man. This image is from the Ghost in the Shell: StandAlone Complex 1st Gig series and would take a while to explain the total meaning of the image. For those familiar with the meaning of it yes I know that via posting it I am falling into the Stand Alone Complex but I do have to admire the words and the meaning.

Favorite hobbies for me include;

1. Reading

CITS F222: Reflection #1

If you are new to web publishing, what was harder than expected? What was easier?

I am not all that new to web publishing having done it for a while but there has been a long break for me and this format of dreamweaver is new for me. I rather like how they make everything easier with the various CSS and titling options.

If you've done this kind of thing before, what do you differently? Include both your first experiences with Dreamweaver and blogging.

I can see really building the site itself from dreamweaver itself. I know that sounds weird but with the older versions I would build the imaging of the site with Fireworks and then importing that image and creating the links from there. This version of Dreamweaver really seems to allow for more complicated webdesign done very easily.
As for blogging I have been doing it for years however I have taken a very long hiatus from it. I just fell out of the habit with some other issues coming to the forefront. I do enjoy following other blogs particularly in the travel and cooking fields though.

CITS F222: Dreamweaver Thoughts

I didn't find this assignment to be particularly difficult once I got the right book in. However there was one thing that I noticed from other versions of Dreamweaver that I have used in the past was the CSS coding took a little bit of getting used to. It was slightly difficult to fully understand but I did like that ability to cut right to the area that you would want to create/edit.

Blog Reflection I - Publishing

What did you find most difficult about completing the "first published pages" assignment?
Though I am doing this post in advance of the actual posting, the only issues that I have come across was truthfully the "GoDaddy" stuff. Granted its nice to have a domain now, I still hated all of the "incentive" that they had on the site to upgrade.

What has surprised you (in a good or a bad way... or both) about Dreamweaver?
To be honest I am liking the direction that Dreamweaver is heading. Before it was too user friendly for me. I have found this to be an issue with alot of programs that are made for the computer illiterate. Being a PC user, when things are too easy I have a tendency to be confused. But it really seems that now things are a little better than older versions of Dreamweaver.

What has surprised you (in a good or a bad way... or both) about this course?
I am finding that I really am liking the additional info help that is being provided. The hands on pages are really helping to clear up confusion. The clear cut info is something that is important to me, otherwise the sheer amount of info gets confusing.

Intro to CITS F222

My name is Brandon Moore. I am taking this class to be able to update some web skills. It has been a long time since I have really gotten gritty about doing web work. So long that all of the site that I did do at one point have long been updated by another. So I would like to get the current trends and info on the programs. I am the kind of person that is interested in almost everything. My hobbies are widespread as well, cooking, reading, movies, video games, cards, etc. I am recently engaged, and am working hard to finish up my schooling before my fiancee gets smart ;)
