Term 4 Week 7

Today I went through my website and made sure all the links worked correctly, all the content was displayed correctly and all the images and text where in the right place. I then started checking over pages for spelling mistakes. I gave a few friends the URL of my website so they could look at it, give me their opinions and point out any errors or mistakes.

Term 4 Week 6

Today I had only the Videos and the Songs page to finish. I logged onto MediaMaster, and took the embed code for the media player. In Dreamweaver I had to insert them as Flash objects and link them to the embed code. I then signed up for a PhotoBucket account so I could upload videos and post them on my videos page, without making the bandwidth of my page to large. I uploaded all the videos then used the embed codes and the same process as before to put them on the page.

Term 4 Week 5

Today I carried on putting all the content on to the pages of my website. I decided that I would need to find a free web-hosting service that would give me a free interactive media player on my "Songs" page. I decided to use MediaMaster, an Internet host that would let me upload mp3 files and give me a embed code for a media player on my page. I also would have to do the same process for the video files I wanted to upload to the videos page.

Term 4 Week 4

Today I created copies of all 8 pages I would need for my website, from the template page. I started work on the Enter Site page, often typing up content from notes I had taken. I then went on to work on the homepage, and the news page. Where possible I would insert all the content but in some places I had to leave sections blank with image place holders and return to them later.

Term 4 Week 3

Today after finalizing the templates, I started recieved the CSS i needed from the previous week fro my background image. For the CSS to work properly I had to change the page background colour to black in the Page Properties menu so that when the image ended the same shade of black carried on. I inserted the CSS into my template page and it worked perfectly.
