The third

I would like to talk about dreamweaver. Dreamweaver, the magician for someone like me, who, knows a lot about internet but feels a bit poorer when it comes to "creating what's ON internet".

We had to create a web page, and having worked as a blogger, I had a little knowledge of html codes. This little knowledge made me feel as if I knew so much more in reality. FALSE.
Before I started to create my web page, I was a bit anxious because of all the codes and vocabulary associated to HTML. I soon understood that nerds created this language to impress society; it worked.

Dreamweaver appeared to me as a solution to "show off with not much". Thanks to a few tips you gave us, I understood that I could "steal" someone's template and build my own page according to what I stole. I first tried and create my page on my own, with a desire to be independent. After a few attempts, I realized that what was in my head was a bit more complicated than what I was able to do with the skills I have. I turned to internet, but I'll come back to that in a few lines.
First, columns(and this is good because it's what we're going to talk about next class). I tried to get my text in the middle, right in the middle, and justified, not too much on the right or left side. It took me a while, eventhough I'm sure there's an easy way to do that.
I also wanted something a bit more personal, for example: this blog. I like the title of the blog, the way it's designed and the general layout.





It doesn't look like any random blog.

I think in the end dreaweaver really helped me get comfortable with creating web pages. It is easy and very often, intuitive. For example, to add a link, we only have to click on the "link" button on the right side. And as this works with different things, it becomes easier to create a page that looks like one.

I also used tutorials on internet to understand things such as adding an anchor link. I first had to understand what it was. I found useful websites explaining simple things, with non-nerd words.

In the end I know my page could be better, but I am proud of it for a first web page.
I promise the next one will be better!
