Web authoring

I believe this week will provide an opportunity to see the best of both worlds. What I mean by this is that I recently had the opportunity to work on the redevelopment of my school's webpage. (Send me an email if you'd like to see what the new site looks like. It went active just a week ago.) We used the webpage program available in our CLC to create and upload each page to an established website. I've found the program to be very user friendly and I've also learned some tips about formatting. On the flip side, I look forward to using a program, new to me, to learn a different approach. I anticipate it may be similar to the format I used previously to create my personal webpage. A resource I used in the past was Webpages for Dummies and I found it to be very helpful. I uploaded my pages using a CuteFTP server and Microsoft Front Page. Again, this was a while ago, but I found it to be very user friendly. I look forward to what this new experience will bring. You can click on my picture to take a look at my previous webpage. I like the format and road map that the site provides. I would definitely try to incorporate some recent knowledge of image manipulation, etc. to make it more interactive and engaging.
