Hi Rob and everyone else too,
How are you all doing today?
Before I start writing, just thought I'd clear up any misunderstandings too. Are you all thinking I'm just now beginning to create websites? I created my very first website back in 1995/1996 I think.
That is actually the exact same things I did too back when I created my first website, hitting the view source thing. I sort of figured that what we are seeing at the top of the pages must be in that order from top to bottom. Also, yes, I did go all around looking at all the html tutorials I could find and printed them off to read them. Noticed how they have like the title of the site surrounded by the title tags <title>The title of the site here</title>.
Yes, I've been using like
<b></b> to bold things. But the only other thing is that sometimes I notice other brackets around them like
[b][/b]Things like Microsoft Word, and all these other programs and the thing here too has buttons to press to do bold, italics, all that stuff that I noticed you typed out in the thing. Which seems easier to just use those things because I don't see anything much in Notepad for doing that stuff, and same with adding pictures to the page. They have something to click on in order to insert an image.
When I go to login to like where we do the webpages, it seems to not have Notepad there, like when I login to Geocities, and other places out there, same thing with the place my sister and her husband got their site from Imhosting I thing maybe was the name of the company and they seem to have Microsoft Word I think or maybe it was called WYSIWYG eiditor. It was similar functions to Microsoft Word. nothing to click on that says notepad.
Plus like I still don't understand why in the web design classes, why do they have us use all these programs for doing the pages if not a good thing to do. Seems a waste of time and money too to sign up for the class if it's not going to teach us the correct things.
also same for the image thing sometimes I'm now seeing the img thing written outside of brackets img like this
img,table{border:0}
About the only thing that I still have problems with is alignment issues, and then someone at this other site said something about not using tables. How else do you split things up into columns or rows? I tried looking all over the place and tried so many other ways, and haven't got anything to work right. Plus I see tables all over every site it seems like. So, I thought that was something I needed to learn to do. The same with frames. The other thing I'm trying to still figure out is if I need any CSS files. I've got so many different answers as to whether or not this is necessary. I've got things showing up just fine with what I thought was html. I tried making a css file and when I tried it said it's invalid file name.
Here is my very first site though if you want to see it-
http://www.angelfire.com/fl/JTT99/Here is a movie site I've got-
http://www.geocities.com/amylovesmovies/Another movie site I have-
http://www.geocities.com/moviefan756/Which then you will see how I do things and why I have tables to divide things up.
The other thing too, always with anything in life I try to do, even after reading the tutorials, I still need to ask questions on things I'm not quite understanding all the way. I do have some learning disabilities though that make everything more challenging for me to understand sometimes mostly with reading comprehension and vocabulary. I'm also slower too with things. Which since I'm classified as disabled student, I get to have as much time as I need with tests. I've never been able to pass the reading portion of any of those standarized tests. I think more now due to vocabulary is causing me to miss the questions. Which passing the test is one of my main goals in life to one day pass that section. I did great in the math sections though. My scores are high enough to take things like Calculus.
Also, since this past August/September my health has been getting worse. One of the symptoms I keep having is memory and confusion problems being really bad. Still not doing well, so having to relearn and review daily too so I don't forget things which I'm really scared that will happen with what has been going on. My health also makes it hard for me to type for long too, which is sort of another reason why typing out
is harder for me.
Just one other thing about the images, I thought you have to upload them somewhere first? Like to the filemanager or whereever you are doing the site at? Isn't that right?
So, like the path to the image if you upload it to like photobucket, or geocities, isn't it the thing you see in the address bar?
So then you put <img src="whatever the url it says is what you put here?"/>
Also, seems like if I put just like <img src="jtt.jpg"> that seems to work too?
See I also have pictures just saved to the My Pictures folder on the computer. Would that then be the path? Like if I go in the My Pictures folder, I see like memphis.JPG under the name of the photo.
Take Care,
Amy
