Assignment 3

I did google web authoring tools and found out which ones are WYSIWYG and which ones aren't. Luckily the program I have already bought is not. I also googled web editing tools and found a lot of them also. I did not successfully download kompozer correctly so did not get to play with it, so I skipped that step in the assignment. I went to Expressions and did the next step in the assignment. I made a one page biography site in Expressions made it into a zip file and sent in the digital dropbox and hope all images went with it. Expressions was somewhat easy, but would be easier if I could find where to and how to add images next to paragraphs, make tabs, and add links so that I can do a business web site that is more than one page with tabs on homepage to take you to the page you need for the infomation you are looking for and don't have to look at a bunch of information you have no interest in. I have a lot of play with to do. The page I did is okay but not exactly what I would want.

Assignment 2

I am not a fan for computer language. I had to write a program my senior year in high school using computer language and the first half of it worked but then ran into a bug and could not find it. I like using web design programs that let you write things the way you understand them and the way it will look like on the web page with a another page putting what I type into html form automatically. It seems to be much easier and quicker than having to memorize all the html tags needed to write a web page in html. I did google for html tags and picked one site to look at. It is probably not the best site for information but it did give me some tags that I could use. The link to that site is www.web-source.net/html_code_chart.htm. I can not wait until we start learning where to go in the web design software programs so that I can start working on a real web page. Since I took a Frontpage class 10 years ago I know a little just needing a refresher and since it was 10 years ago the program is now called Expressions and I am sure has many new features.
Knowing html is a good idea because even if you are using a program like what I like if you run into a problem it helps to know the html language so you can go look at the html page and see if you can find the problem.

Assignment 1

Web pages can be used for many things. You can use them to make money by every hit on the web site. You may use a web site to advertise you business giving examples and information on your business. You may use your web site to sell products you may have to sell. You can use a web site to promote hobbies, ideas, and political views and lets people reply back. If you have a business page showing and telling about your business you may want to include contact information to get some business for your company.
Many types of businesses use web pages for people to see their products and to get information on their products. So are like Facebook where you can communicate with others who have the same interest. Others allow you to purchase things from their web site.
Small businesses who could use the web site to get their company information out there but don't really have the finances to have a web page should not have one.

The only source I used is from the text book chapter one.

I surf the internet every day for many reasons. I look up businesses that we are affiliated with to keep up on the going ons at the places we are at weekly. I do shop online, and I try to take as many classes online. I look up different travel or city information. I find the internet very usefull and resourcefull. I wish every business had a web site to go to get information and make purchases from so I am not have to constantly drive around to find what I am looking for. The web page for me has taken the place of the library quite a bit since I can research so much on the internet.
