Well, we are in the fourth week of the semester, and it is quite a struggle to figure out how to achieve even the simplest changes in the appearance of my web page such as:

• add bullets to a list.
• change the font size of selected words in the text.
• place an object (a word, a sentence, a picture, a table) in the center.
• how to change the background colour of the different "containers".
• how to indent the first line. (As a matter of fact, I still don't know how to do this.)

11 weeks have passed by. I have edited the web pages you see here countless times. I have added to, deleted, and tweaked the content and its appearance over and over again. Even though I am still struggling at times, I feel more at ease with figuring out "technical" problems on my own. Here's some advice:

• Don't be afraid of "THE CODE"
• Look at it and try to understand what some of the basic <tags> mean. Visit websites to learn the basics of HTML coding. I've learned a great deal from these:
  • http://www.awdsf.com/courseware/ - The four HTML parts and the first two Dreamweaver parts are particularly useful.
  • http://www.simplehtml.co.uk/pages/colour.html - This will come handy when you want add colours to parts of the text in your Hot Potatoes exercises.
  • http://www.htmlcodes.ws/links/javascript-links.cfm - This page helped me add a link in one of my Hot Potatoes exercises.
  • http://hotpot.uvic.ca/howto/editsource.htm - This page also proved to be of some help with inserting a link in one of my hotpotatoes.
  • http://www.ewbooks.info/hotpot/iframe-wo - My JMix exercise is the result of following the instructions on this page.
  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMZgEM2pPRw - It quickly taught me how to use JMix.
• Experiment! Experiment! Experiment!
You can alwasy "undo" changes, can't you?
