Last Week!

I can't believe that it is already week 10! This class flew by!... Unfortunately I still can not figure out the jQuery and I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I had Robin from the class try to help me figure out the problem (much appreciated) but I still can't seem to figure it out. I am putting my last touches on my website and it is almost complete. This was a great class, I really enjoyed making the website. Although, it was very confusing to take this class online and not be able to meet with a teacher whenever we have a problem. It was really cool to actually see the website come together and realize how much work we actually did! I am currently in 6 classes this semester, so even for this class to end a month before my other ones is a little bit of weight off my shoulder. Time to relax (just a little). Good luck to everyone in the class. It was nice working with you all throughout my first blogging experience. Hope you enjoyed reading my blogs!

jQuery..

It was interesting using jQuery and seeing what it can do to a webpage. I learned a little bit by watching the videos that the professor had posted but I wish I knew a little more. I am having issue with part of the assignment. I was able to get the draggable part to work but not the green animation. I tried a few different things but could not get it to work. I am still working on it, so hopefully my next blog I post will have a background color! Although, I do not want it to be green because it won't match my page! Hope you all like my first blog :).

Misunderstanding..

I have just realized something now during Week 8 that I have been doing something wrong this entire class. I had no idea that we were suppose to submit a forum to the teacher which lets him know that we have completed the discussion boards! I have done all of the discussion boards up to date and checked my grades and received a 0/100 on all of them, I almost had a heart attack! Did anyone else have this problem? I thought by submitting our threads to the discussion boards was the way to show the teacher and class that we have our discussion completed. Now that it is week 8... I realized we post a blog and on the discussion board.... then submit a forum saying we completed both... Oy Vey!

Javascript...

This week's assignment was Javascript.  This was easier than I thought it would be. As I mentioned before I had always wondered how websites were created and how they received feedback.  The "say hello" button on my website that we had to create is very cool. I had no I idea it was this easy to actually put a website together. I have learned a lot about how websites work through taking this class. Doing this assignment and seeing the completed work was rather fun. It still amazes me that just by typing in certain commands into a text program that it can simply be created into a website that does fun things such as the stuff from this assignment.  Interactive WebPages are very useful in the Internet world today. I am glad we learned about this.

Week 7 Jotform...

This week we worked the with Jotform feedback. This was fairly simple to make because the codes were straight forward after watching the video.  This is a cool idea for people to give and take advice on how the class and others think our websites are coming along.  It is cool to think about how websites are actually created. Now every time I look at a website I am going to think.. I wonder who made this and if they made it with the same codes I used?  I have always wondered how forums were created and now I know! Creating my website is something that I can look back on forever, rather than just delete it after this class is finished. It is a good feeling to know that you have made a website all by yourself and it is only yours.

Creating my website...

Safe to say my website is finally coming along!.... Once I saw all of the different coding for creating the website, I thought I would never be able to figure it out. It looks more confusing than it actually is, and I feel now that I am actually getting the hang of it, the class is almost over. Although, I am still having a lot of trouble. This might have to do with not being able to connect to FilaZilla like the rest of the class can though! I wish I could because now I do not know how my final grade is going to turn out. My website is finally starting to look like a real website. One question is how do I make all of the font centered? Mine is all right aligned and I want it to be in the center. Any suggestions from the class? I never knew this was how you actually make website. This is good to know for future reference.  I feel like I have learned a lot so far in this class and it is very beneficial .

Midterms...

I can't believe that it is already midterm time! I feel like the semester just started. I must say I do like accelerated courses that are only 10 weeks. They go by much quicker than the other ones although the work is a bit of a heavier load. I felt that I did good on my midterm, but had some trouble with how it was displaying. I also had to pass in two 6-10 page papers and take a test this week. I am so glad this week is almost over and I get to enjoy spring break, even though I won't be going anywhere.  I cannot wait for this semester to be over all together, taking 6 class was harder than I thought . Working 35 hours a week and keeping up with all my homework is very though. It will be worth it in the end when I graduate this summer!
