- Beginning
Week commencing 24th January
This week
brings in the beginning of the end of my final
year at University! It is now time for the “big
squeeze” as Major Project time as arrived.
Since it is a New Year, I have decided to begin
with a new leaf – get ahead and stay ahead!
In order for me to complete my major project,
I will need to keep my head down from this week
on. I have no illusions about what I am about
to undertake over the next 12+ weeks. I am now
thinking much ahead in time and expect to run
into some problems along the way with respect
to the technology and programming I will be
using.
New
Project Diary Website
At the start of this week I decided to design
a new project diary website. The brief: to design
and build an ecstatically pleasing site with
useful resources, i.e. Links,
some information about me and of course, my
Major Project Diary. My aim was to create a
colourful and informative website, yet keeping
it simple and easily updatable with minimum
effort. Whether I have achieved simplicity is
up to you (the web surfer) to decide!
Technology
& Programming used in this site
+
Macromedia Dreamweaver, Flash and Fireworks +
Adobe PhotoShop CS
+
Hyper-Text Markup Language (HTML) +
PHP Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP)
At the moment,
my new research website is not 100% complete.
I still need to create proper page headers (exactly
where the green box is). I have some ideas but
since I need to balance my time between this
site and my major project, I will only carry
out web maintenance at the weekends. Also, I
need to come up with some fresh ideas to fill
the white space along the left hand feature
column. I do not want to fill it with any old
crap for the sake for filling the space.
