Last week, in Communications class, we had to create a web page off of memory. The class was split into two and the members of each group had to work with each other to create a working website with div codes and CSS. It’s surprising what one can learn and remember from only 5 classes.
We have been learning how to create CSS stylesheets, in our Web Overview class. Just last week, we learned how to create drop down menus. This week, we are supposed to create a coded entry. From what I have heard and understand, we are to type in the HTML box, not the visual. So, here goes nothing…
Practicing coding…
From what I have learnt from class so far, I have been working on my boyfriend’s portfolio website. We created this website last year, when we graduated from the Digital Animation program. He knew nothing about coding, and I knew very little from what I had taught myself from years ago.
As of late, I’ve decided to revisit the website to create it with proper coding, such as CSS and Div codes. Currently, it’s a simple static website, but we hope to add some flash, when I learn the more complex side of web developing. I’ll be working on his website ongoing, as it is good practice. Feel free to check out his art work, he’s a great (self taught) digital painter. He’s also an awesome 3D modeler!
Just for fun…
Here is an interesting website: Akinator. This website supposedly “reads your mind.” You think of a fictional, or non fictional character –whether it be in games, cartoons, actors and actresses, or family members, and the website guesses who you are thinking of.
I’m curious as to how the creators built this website, the ”mind reader” from the website guesses what you’re thinking of with at least 15 general questions. Whatever they did, they definitely made a website that makes its users keep coming back.
Beware, it’s highly addicting.
