My site progress

So far I am really pleased with how my site has turned out. I feel that I am grasping everything quickly and learning a lot.

I did make a rookie mistake when working on the PTR site late at night though. When updating the style sheet, I confused class rules with id rules and it screwed things up a bit. I did manage to get it to work the way I had it but redundant and unnecessary declarations had to be made. Luckily Cabs caught it and I fixed everything now. Since then I have reviewed information and tried different things to fully learn the difference. I love what we are learning about CSS. The use of it makes things soo much easier, I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t like it. Chapter 6 was especially enjoyable for me because a few chapters back I emailed Cabs asking how to do rounded corners on div’s and he said that stuff would be in Chapter 6. I of course jumped to it and incorporated them into my site’s nav bar and sidebars.

Also, I LOVE Dreamweaver CS6! It makes it really easy to add things to your page and they have comments to help you understand how everything works together. If you do not have it, GET IT! It’s a little pricey but you can get it half off just by being a student or teacher 🙂 I ordered mine online from Best Buy, when I installed it I had to register through Adobe with my student email, then I was provided with a product key to fully install the software.
