Technical Development Project - complete

Hi everyone,

As you may know, my technical development project was to use Dreamweaver to create a personal and professional website. Since I am presenting in class this week, I decided to finish my website today so that I had time to work on my presentation for Thursday.


Here is a summary of my thoughts on my technical development project:
While doing this project, I found it difficult to remember and apply new things I learned from one work session to the next since I worked on it mostly on the weekends only.
I did find it fun to explore new tools in Macromedia Dreamweaver that Contribute does not have. While the NetG classes were helpful, I felt as though there were some things that I should learn more about before trying to incorporate them into my website, such as CSS. I found that using the blog and asking questions to people who are more experienced than I am was very helpful. I received great tips to enhance my website by using the blog. All things considered, I feel like I have learned enough about Macromedia Dreamweaver to make a functional website. For the upcoming year, I will work on the accessibility of the website and try to streamline the HTML so that it’s cleaner than it is now and will optimize it by incorporating style sheets.

Here is the final product: http://grove.ufl.edu/~kkenned/pages/kathryn_kennedy.htm
