notes week 8 dreamweaver

dreamweaver: this was the most frustrating one yet.!!!!!!! the tables really made it hard to put pictures where you want. my picture sizes were constantly out which met the table sizes were always wrong. Making the three links really gave me a headache because they worked when i was in dreamweaver but when i put them on the file server it wouldnt work and i couldnt figure out why.. this problem drove me insane. i found out however that the problem was in the link box, i had to delete the uneeded crazy crap. its amazing to find that not knowing one tiny detail such as deleting a pathway can lead to hours of headache... after this experience i bought a book on flash and am currently reading it from cover to cover.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT B4 YOU START WHEN MAKING A WEBPAGE .

good ideas to include in your webpage: forums, fan bases, email adress contact.
research - gather content - find your target niche - (who will look at) what is your messsage your trying to get accross? create a map - link it to other pages? incorporate games (it brings people back) make a guess book.

if you have a boring hyperlink topic use a rollover graphic where when you roll over it with your mouse the page or link does something cool...

consider the speed of your page if your using flash or there is a lot of content

if your trying to sell an idea use lots of graphics.

good webpage to look at (donniedarko.com) this website is selling the movie it makes you inquisitive and makes you want to go see the movie which is bascially the aim of the webpage.

mouse followrers are a quick way to add graphics...

unmoderated websites
anyone can write whatever they want

moderatd websites
get scaned to make sure nothings explicit

to stop spam getting in your website email addess

Email - spam filter, make new users fill out a registration form, turn it into a graphic before you post it. instead of writing your email address like this brooke@yahoo.com you could write brookeatyahoo.com
