finalizing

I’ve been a bit shy in terms of posting, but I’m happy to say that I’ve been working on two websites and at this point, they are both finished. Both websites, have external media, internal and external links and internal and external style sheets. I found that CSS wasn’t as complex as I thought, even though I still have a LOT to learn. I feel as though I’m using div tags far too much. Firefox has a handful of add-ons for browsing the web. One of those add-ons is the web designers toolbar, which allows you to disable all styles and view your pages as static text and images. I find that a well designed website is one that still takes on a clean appearance and reads well even with the CSS disabled. However, my sites don’t read as well without the CSS. Perhaps that the way they are layered (z-index). I felt as though the process, as well as the class was definitely a success. However, I obviously want to learn more on the subject, so I don’t turn out to be a drag-and-drop designer.
