2. A CSS for the web site

My site's main css I used a image with 4 rules which were placed in the body of the site's html editor.
  • It was a background image from another URL
  • 'background-repeat: no-repeat;' So that it was the one image instead of tiles.
  • It had a positioning of 50% 20% so that it was centered.
  • And that its attachment was fixed so it remained stationary
It was added to give the site some style, I changed the site texts colours in the variable definitions section of the html editor. I changed the written text to black (#000000) so it could be visible and changed the link text colours to a dark red (#990000) to differentiate.

1. A Mission Statement, and goals for the web site

I used a table element with a css border rule and span style text to create a table informing the site viewers of what my goals are in a neat and precise way.

The table also reflects what I plan to do with the website and to what audience this is directed at. This table was added to a html page element on the site's sidebar layout editor.

A short mission statement is added to the header underneath the title.

Objectives

  • Display some javascript on my page

Outcomes

  • Using a 'for loop' that would run a set on instructions multiple times. The 'for loop' allows this to be predetermined.
  • The loop starts with i=0. The loop will continue to run as long as i is equal to 5. i will increase by 1 each time the loop runs. It was set to run to for 5 times.
  • Creating a script function with this data in bloggers hmtl template allows for a single 'input' type button to be created that corresponds with the loop and can be posted along with an explanation in a single post.

Journal 6

Objects:

  • Produce a Quicktime video
  • Inline the video
Outcomes

  • Selected a video and added effects and transitions to it using Imovie, then compressed it into a web based Quicktime video using Imovie's share function.
  • Using mac's terminal function, the compressed video could be sent to a directory at Liskov where it would have a location from where it could be viewed by the public.
  • Created a video code using Pageotx and inserted the video's absolute URL at Liskov, then I could insert the html into my blog allowing for the hosting of the video on my blog as well as on Liskov. The URL has to be absolute so it can be accessed by anyone on the net, a relative URL woould mean hey would have to go to Liskov first.

Journal 5

Objectives:

  • Create a photo gallery using
  • Glerie and Iphoto
  • Upload the photo gallery to ANU's liskov website where it can be viewed by anybody.
Outcomes

  1. Find images and upload them to Iphoto and then create a Galerie photo gallery
  2. Put the gallery into a directory zip it using unix terminal, send to a new directory at ANU's liskov course work web server.
  3. Unzip the file and make sure it is in the public viewing directory so it can viewed by anybody
Problems

  • Could not upload the gallery straight to my blog because blogger is not compatible with a image gallery as each image relative link is in a different place to its absolute link. So each images link would have to be routed to a different directory when they must be from the same one. It is not possible in blogger to do this.
  • A gallery would not be feasible because each image would be from a different location and source code and there is no allowance for galleries within blogger's template and nav bar layout. There also appears to be no accessible html code to paste into a template from Gallerie.
