Week 9

This week we had a speaker, He runs the IT room in the library and showed us how to use word press to create a webpage. I really liked the simplicity of word press, and liked the option to pick a template of the look you like and it applies it all, however in comparison to DreamWeaver, or another option it does seem like it has taken a little away from the creative side for simplicity. I like the idea of being able to set up my whole webpage's look with just the click of a button by what they give me, but I also like the idea of being able to tweek all that I want to do from scratch.  We learned how to link to an outside page, imput a picture, and also link a couple pages within the site.
After the speaker was done Denvy also stressed that most of the students picked Wordpress to work with, and he wanted to show us a little more about DreamWeaver. He showed us CSS and how to create a more personalized look with using the a grid system where you can break up a screen in to sections and you can add several of the grids together, or break on down into smaller sections. As you add your material to your grid it automatically adds to the size of that section and keeps the whole page very symmetrical.
