Dreamweaver – getting to grips

Posted by: Sean | Posted on: September 3rd, 2009 | 1 Comments

Currently i have a fair bit of website work lined up. I really like getting work like this; it gives me a chance to get to grips with what i have learned from college or what i have learned by myself.

There is no point going to college and not trying to continue to progress your knowledge while you are off on holidays. Now that i will be starting back at college next week, i will have website code fresh in my head, so i will be able to get to grips with anything new that we learn this year.

The work i have been doing throughout the summer and still now requires me to use the likes of Photoshop and Dreamweaver. I never really used these programs too much until only recently and i really do like them.

I find that the more i use them, i seem to find more and more things that can be done with them that makes life easier when editing a website, especially if you have to make a huge gallery for a site, the template feature works great there :D .

Farewell To WordPress!

Posted by: Sean | Posted on: June 4th, 2008 | 3 Comments

I have just begun designing a new website layout for this website. I decided I would use basic html and adding some spry effects. This site will soon no longer depend on wordpress. I find that wordpress is great but I prefer to have the complete freedom of coding html myself. I will definitely miss all the great plugins that are so accessible to wordpress, but that’s not to say they are not available for html, they are but they are just harder to implement.

Wordpress will remain on this server for the next while as I intend on making a complete revamp to this site and by doing that it will take a long time.

 

Theme Change

Posted by: Sean | Posted on: May 21st, 2008 | 0 Comments

Yeah so i finally decided to change the theme of this website because the old one was beginning to annoy me!! But i kinda like the look of this new one now. Unfortunately i still haven't found out how to make the advertisement slots link to a certain page instead of reloading this one but i will have  to have a look at that later and try to figure that out, it has to be in the code somewhere its just a matter of where

I really want to try and make my own wordpress theme but on the designing side i suck!! But of course i will give it a shot and if i fail i could always ask for some help. After i get the design right i hope to code it for use with wordpress, i have been looking around the internet for the past few days and i have found many good websites that explain in detail, what i need to do. I do already know some code for website building but there is no chance that i know enough for what is required for creating this theme.

I guess that is what i am going to college for, i hope that when i go back to college in September i will begin to get stuck into some more advanced website design. I already know i will be doing JavaScript next semester, and i am looking forward to that

EDIT:i had to change back to my old theme because i had problems with the new one such as the way the paragraphs were not seperating from eachother.
