Welcome to my learning log!

Thanks for visiting. This is my blog of learning for the NET 11 Unit through Curtin University. It will be an ongoing project ... possibly not particularly exciting viewing for some!

Mod 3 - tasks - Upload!

Finally, I have uploaded my Volcano web page to the presentation space. It is very very basic, but at least now I have something up there that has all the basic html I'll be likely to use. Perhaps as I learn more, I will fancy it up a little. Now ... how do i get my blog in there again????

Anchors aweigh!!!

Bit confused about the differences between linked and named anchors but will do a few more practices on my practice web page to clear i up. Otherwise my volcano web page is looking good - there is just no way I will ever remember all this. I will need html editors and reference sheets forever!

Mod 3 tasks - it's all relative

Going OK - to lesson 8 but I am not sure I understand what relative links means and why that is so powerful - think this may become clear later - will ask on DB if not. Just answered my own question by reading that lesson again - relative meaning in the same directory ... so I didn't have to change the addresses of the links on my volc work place.
Linking all the URLs is fine - all works OK, but my own web page is looking some what dysfunctional. The 'intriguing websites' I chose as part of Lesson 8 have NOTHING to do with my subject ... or do they????? Anyway more answers may come out of the DB - I have posted the question. I might have missed something.
Note: Cynthia sounded a little cross with us today. Perhaps we are not reading supporting notes closely enough.

Mod 3 tasks - lesson 8 and on!

Slowly building my volc test page - i guess this is what I will upload into student presentations. Lin's looks beautiful. Again, I ask myself - why are these people doing this course??? I guess they learn at a different level but they must have got pretty bored with this exercise... how on earth will I finish all this ...
Anchors now - great, I have always wondered how that works.

Mod 3 Lesson 6



Lists and more lists!
The lists business could get very nasty ... and why does my web page look so ugly compared to the volcano one? uurrghh. Anyway here they are:



Mod 3 - Lesson 5 - style!



Yup - its all about style here - but too much can be a horror to read! Care must be taken ...
