This was a fun activity to do, I enjoyed the coding aspect of it. Starting from scratch to build a final product was rewarding. Creating a webpage is a time consuming project if you want to get things perfect. However, I am sure the more you create then the faster you can create. Its nice to create a web page of your own and send it out to the internet for all to see.You would have to do more maintenance with a web page then a blog. With blogs you can just type whatever you want and post it. With web pages, you have to go through making it look visual pleasing and mess around with the tags. When I see web pages that are full of content like, www.cnn.com, I can imagine all the coding involved in it and it just seems like it would be overwhelming to a novice. I like to learn more about doing html and I will incorporate the searching techniques we received in the class to do it.
Hi, Tan:
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed the assignment. There was a bit of the magic reveal since the structure of the page was there and you got to personalize it. This is a final reminder to be wary of the information you find on the web, use the evaluative tools we covered and determine the credibility of the information, author, bias, etc. This basic web page could be a building step for more creative web projects. Remember, with a web page you have to pay to have it hosted on a server, usually, whereas blogs are often free.
Cheers,
Andrea
