Welcome to my little corner of the Internet. Here you will find different musings and descriptions of the various happenings in my life. Anything from political and religious opinions to fantastical writings that have absolutely nothing to do with anything important. Some days I may write about my educational adventures and others I may be writing about the rising price of gasoline, you just never know. So, if this is your cup of tea or if you are just looking for the entertainment of reading other people's thoughts, I welcome you and invite you to subscribe to my blog (look for the link in the sidebar). Thank you for your visit and please feel free to invite your friends!

First Website submitted

My first official website for my Digital Media class has been submitted. I have also placed the site online for your perusal. The requirements for this site were as follows:

  • Five pages in length
  • Easy navigation on all pages
  • At least one image per page (could be more)
  • Must provide the appropriate DTD (Declaration statement) for XHTML 1.0 Strict
  • Provide a valid email link with the appropriate fields already filled in (the to: and possibly the subject: fields)
  • title each page
  • validate each page according to W3C standards for XHTML 1.0 Strict

So far this class has been a rewarding experience. Where I have been coding in HTML for many years (since about 1994 or so) I have had little actual coding experience with XHTML and not really spent much time worrying about validating my code. I am learning the newer XHTML standards and am looking forward to the next few weeks as we start to delve into CSS. There have been a few gaps that this course has now covered for me and I suspect that I will find more as I have been self-taught up til now.

I am also finding it rewarding to be able to share my knowledge with my fellow students. I’ve been able to find most of my answers that I need through my discussions with fellow students and/or google searches on the Internet (searches has been my usual mode of learning code until my decision to take this class). I am currently considering continuing in the design field as a secondary course of study to better round out my education in the IT field. I figure that more knowledge and abilities can only be a plus when I go to an interview for my career change.

But anyway, here’s the linky to my first OFFICIAL DMED 110-96 Website. Be certain to leave a comment and let me know what you think. Remember, this is supposed to be a plain jane style of webpage, the fancy stuff will come later on.
