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.

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.

Term 4 Week 2

This lesson I realised that the background image I had wanted to use for my pages was not long enough in pixels for some of my pages. I asked my tutor and he said I would need a CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) that would continue the illusion of a gradient even after the image had ended. Because my pages faded from red to black down the page, I had to take a thin vertical segment from my background image, only a few pixels wide, and have this inserted in a CSS file I could insert on my template page.
