Last year, I took a class on web design, in which I learned how to use DreamWeaver (a miraculous program)…The resulting site was a lot of fun to make, and turned out quite well, if I do say so myself…We had the freedom to make the sites about whatever we wanted, as long as it was some aspect of our lives…I remember the teacher, Chris, saying that a girl in a past class did a site all about her favorite hobby: Suspension (a pasttime that is decidedly NOT for the faint of heart!!)…

This year, I’m taking a strikingly similar class (I posted a few PhotoShop assignments a while back), and we have gotten around to the web design portion…needless to say, I am still very comfortable with DreamWeaver, even though I haven’t used it extensively in several months…the biggest difference about the site, aside from the content (it’s supposed to be a guide for incoming Temple students), is that it’s a group project…Since I have used the various programs before and said that I would be willing to in a survey at the beginning of the semester, I was assigned to be the leader of my group…flattering, yes, but with great responsibility comes more responsibility…so far, things have been going very well, with me tackling most of the design and programming stuff, while guiding the other members along the way in an effort to help them learn some basics about the programs…I’ll be sure to post a link to the final site once it exists, but for now, here’s a shot of my in-progress work on the homepage (I suggested a Victorian, pirate-y theme for the New Student Guide-ness)…
