change of plans..
so i managed to upload my site fine enough.
but once it was up there i played around with it, and have decided to make some changes.
i have moved the links bar to the top of the screen and put the title of robert moran's e portfolio on all the pages.
so its pretty much done now.

the upload
To upload the site to the cdu server, I am using cyberduck. I have had a few little issues with this because I didnt have an account in the right place or something.
i have copied it over, yet i end up with when i copy the url into firefox:
Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) Server at scah.cdu.edu.au Port 80
But there is always a way around these things and I just need to save it in there at a different location or something

videos
I also had a little trouble in trying to apply my videos to my website.
I decided to embed the videos in the site because I had already uploaded them to vimeo and like the way the player looked in the website. I also got to change the colour of the vimeo box to match the background of my site.
The trouble came when I wanted to put the embed into my table so that it would sit in the right place. for some reason unknown to me, I could not insert the embed code into the table. This got a tad annoying and decided i needed to pop out for some fresh air and a drink of water.
when i returned, I tried placing the code into my site, but not in the table. and it worked.
i could then just copy the box and place it into the table and it all worked out fine. I still don't know why it could not work the first time, but after finding this solution, i no longer felt i needed to worry about it.

after planning out how the site is gonna fit together and whats gonna be in it, it needs to be put together.
I chose a nice light blue (#cbf3ff) for the background of my pages because I like the colour and also makes the text very easy to read. For the titles of my page, I like the font bauhaus because it is bold
and i just really like the way it looks.
I found using dreamweaver challenging at times, not fully understanding the concept of css (cascading style sheets) and having much trouble formatting the site to get it to look the way that I wanted. But after battling it out, it eventually came out how i wanted it. My problem is that I was applying a particular set style to the way i formatted the headings, then when i wanted to write the filler text in arial, it would want to be in bauhaus and bold, then if i changed it, it would make the titles all like the body text. Through some frustration and a lot of back and forthing, I managed to get all the styles and allignments how I wanted them.
I found that I could space everything out how i wanted it when i put text and pictures into tables.

right e o then.
my e portfolio.
in class, we are making a webpage that can be used as an e portfolio. I wanted mine to be very simple and easy to navigate that can show a little bit of my work, a little bit about me and some contact details. I like things that are simple and easy to follow. I have decided to make the background of my website a pale colour with a bold black styled font for the title and helvetica for the text.
When designing my website, I drew out a map of how the website would be set out and what I wanted to put into it.

The general idea is that all the pages are linked to each other by a bar that will run across the bottom of the screen. The homepage will contain a photo of me and a little bit about me and the website.
The contact page will have a different photo of me along with my phone number, email address, facebook link to my profile and a link to my blog.
The video page will contain some videos that I have made in class and the pictures will contain photos of some drawings I have made.
