This past week in class we've focused on our All About Me UEN page. It's been a fun little project, but I don't really like to talk about myself that much so that part has been hard. I'm hoping we'll be graded more on the technical stuff like creating the links, adding pictures and formating the portlets rather than the content so much. I was wondering though if all webpage hosts are the same when it comes to that. Just like how in Blogger you just click the add picture, browse and upload; to create a link you just click the highlight what you want linked, copy the URL, click the Link button, paste the URL and wha-la! It's pretty much the same thing on UEN. Is it a pretty standard procedure or do these websites just make it easy? I don't like how you can't wrap text around images in UEN, though.
Anyway my UEN page assignment was to create an All About Me tab. I love to dabble in digital design so I implented some of that into my page. We were asked to create 5 portlets (About Me, Family, Education, Schools and Favorites), insert 5 images and create 3 links. I'm pretty sure I met the requirements using 5 portlets, 20 images and 14 links. I really enjoyed doing this project and being able to make it my own. I just wish we weren't limited in some formatting techniques like wrapping the text and being able to manipulate images (i.e. rotating, minor editing). Also I would have appreciated more font choices.

You did a great job on your All About Me page; I can tell you have a talent with graphical design.
ReplyDeleteWeb Design applications have many of the same features. Actually what they are doing is providing an interface for you to write HTML code. The more advanced an application is, the more you can do with it, but the harder it is to learn and usually, it isn't free.
