I got my grade back on my website for my class and I got an A on it. I decided to completely redo it though, my professor gave us a link for the Open Source Web Design site in class last week, I took a look around and really liked a lot of the designs so I picked one for that site instead of recreating my original in CSS. It only took me an hour and a half last night to get everything into the new design, I did it after our dinner company left and Alex started playing his computer game.
I did a sort of archive of my original site in the Coursework section of my site though, since it does reflect the actual project. The final product is up and I'm actually looking forward to adding projects for other classes on there. My next project for the class I get to work together with Sarah! For the PowerPoint portion of the class we get to team up and do a 10 minutes presentation. Sarah and I met on Friday to decide what we'd do our presentation on, the hardest part for us will actually be trying to talk about library technology in under 10 minutes!
I also have to think about presenting something on Access to our class on Thursday this week. I have musical rehearsal all this week so I'm only working one day at the library. I have some things to do at home both for my boss and something else I can help the technology department with. It's going to be a busy week though, I'm just happy that I don't have to drive back and forth to Monroe and then to Ohio for rehearsal every single day, I wouldn't like that at all. I also talked to my dad yesterday and I realize that I don't visit my family as much as I should, I should try to visit with them sometime this week if I can, since I will be in Ohio every day this week.

I'm planning on doing the same for my school website. Thanks for showing me the OSWD templates Dr. Li shared with the class. It will really come in handy for the pathfinder I have to create. Was it pretty easy to set up then?
See you soon.
It was super easy to set up, basically you just download the files from the site, put them on your server, from there you just edit and add the html files, the css file should make the design consistent with each new file you add. I suggest doing everything locally and checking to make sure everything looks ok before you actually upload everything to your server space though...I did mine in Dreamweaver so it wasn't hard to set it up.
Let me know if you need help :)
Yeah, I don't quite know Dreamweaver all that well. Perhaps you can show me sometime. I just bought my new laptop and Jeff and I are going to pick it up this Saturday. Perhaps I'll install Dreamweaver on it and bring it to class next week. That way perhaps if there is time, you can show me how to do what you did in Dreamweaver.
Otherwise, I'm sure I'll figure it out:)
Dreamweaver is good to know :) It took me some time to get used to it but now I'm happy I did.
