Dreamweaver (Week 11)

Dreamweaver is a very helpful tool to create web pages for the internet. Especially for those who are more comfortable with designing a website through the use of visuals rather than text code. The WYSIWYG concept is a very good idea and allows for amateurs like us to be able to create our own web pages for the internet without the help of web site builders.

There are however, a lot of different functions, and it does take a long time to learn and fully use the program to it's maximum capabilities. Although I do believe it can do more than what we are taught in our lecture and lab classes because there simply just isn't enough time to be able to teach us everything we need to know. It's great to be learning the basics to see if this is what we enjoy and if we are willing to pursue this further in our journey ahead in RTA.

Unfortunately, it's not my path. It was great to learn about these applications which make the web more interactive. I came for the television aspects of this program, but who knows. Only time will tell.


On another note... I have come up with a few ideas that I will probably use for my website. I looked through my computer to see what photos I could use for my website and the one that just kept coming up is my experience going through Basic Training with the Canadian military. One of the most cherished times of my life. It was hard and tough, but making it through really inspired me and shaped me into a better individual overall. I have many pictures and videos that the website could use. The pictures will lay out my experience and skills that I have developed throughout military boot camp.
