Just created my first web-page!

[Felix]

Hey folks!

I'm in an IT class at school, and they have us working on creating web pages. I just finished mine and it's here:

http://mason.gmu.edu/~emiddlet/index.html

It is a monument to poor design, sloppy economic research, and the studiousness of college students, but hey! It's MINE!

So swing on by!


ps, that handsome fella is me, at an Underwater Hockey tournament in Michigan.

Yes, Underwater Hockey is a game. I play it.

EDIT: for some reason, it's only linking to a previous incarnation. Trust me, it has a whole lot of economic stuff in there. Truly facinating, I'm sure.

Just a (major) note: the picture makes the text VERY hard to read. You should lighten the picture and make it more like a "watermark" style so people can read the text on the page. This was a big turnoff, IMO. A quick way to have people not want to visit your site, something that any IT professional has to consider. I know several who graduated from UNCG's IT dept. And they'd probably give the same advice.....

If you want pictures, just put up a picture. Don't have it be the background.

I really like Dreamweaver (using it for XML at work right now) but I find that I'm much better off because I spent a year of my unemployed life learning and writing HTML in Notepad.

If not then never mind....

I learned in Notepad as well. It is really the only way to learn. In this day I would suggest Textpad for syntax highlighting.

We had to use Notepad only for our html coding... that's why the stuff is on the other side of professional.

I got smurfed? Awwww....

Notepad... Mmmmmmm Good memories...

I use Dreamweaver 2004 at work and I love it.

Good luck and have fun!!
