Multimedia Post

Multimedia is a very helpful and good thing to include in your website. Designers can have many types of multimedia. They could have text, animation, sound, pictures, and video all in one website. Video and animation are probably the most common, but there are many other types of multimedia. Sound is also another big one. Many websites use or are based on Macromedia Flash. 

Many things can influence the website message. You could have a really good message in your website, but the stuff you use in your website ruins it. Making the stuff you use in your website look professional is very important for a really big business, but your website could be more simple and colorful if it is a website for little kids. Your pictures, music, and video should have a purpose to your message or goal of the site, and not just be there for no apparent reason.

                  Designers should consider a few things when putting multimedia in their website. First, you need to just make sure everything works. Your site isn't going to be very good if you don't even have everything working. You also need to make sure everything goes towards the message of your website. They need to make sure everything goes together. If your site is a sports site, you can't have a video of highlights from a game, and then have a picture of a barbie on it too. They should also have a variety of multimedia, so it has a little of every type of media in it.

Overall, multimedia is good for your website. Your site would be boring if you didn't have any animation or pictures. A website should be something that people want to go to, not something that they don't look forward too.

Exceptional Serice

I have had exceptional service at quite a few places, but a time at Olive Garden stands out. It was a waiter and he was very kind and got our drinks, salad, bread sticks, and main dishes out very quickly. He was very polite to us and checked up on us often. He was very funny too. He was just overall a very good waiter. I can improve as a Christian to be polite to others and have a Christ-like attitude to be a good example to them. Like  the waiter was has happy to serve me and my family, we should be happy to serve the Lord.

Google Policy

 I read Google's new policies and it looks like there are some goods and bads. It looks like it will be easier to access and use more things at once. The being able to share with others looks like they are trying to compete with Facebook and Twitter, which could go very well or bad. It sounds like its trying to find out what you like or what would be helpful for you and maybe give you suggestions or websites that would benefit you the most and have them easily available for you. They will also give your information to others if you allow them too. It looks like this is going to help them but    we will have to see. I put where to go to  to if you would like to read it yourself. http://www.google.com/policies/

This was not my idea, especially the music.

5 great sites for web designers

1. A great web site for web designers is http://w3schools.com/html/html_colors.asp. I like it because sometimes I don't know what the codes are for certain colors that I would like to use in Dreamweaver. This website gives you the codes for each colors. This website is by w3schools and it has more than 16 million colors! This website is great for helping you with color codes for your web site.
2. http://tips-tricks.com/table.aspi is also a good web site if you are having trouble with making tables for your web site. It tells you stuff with your table like how to start a table to even cell padding and cell spacing. This is by Tips-Tricks.com and it would be be helpful if you are making a table for a restauraunt or any other web site because tables ar very helpful in your web designing process.
3. http://www.htmlquick.com/reference/tags.html is great for any html tags that you do not know. This website would be one of the most helpful ones for me in my web design class. It is by Html Quick and would definately be helpful for you in your journey to make your web site.
4. http://www.webdesign.org/ is also a great website for you. It lets you make your own web site for free and it gives you basic to web designing if you are a beginner. This web site is by Web design Library, a designers one-stop resource. This web site would be great for beginners or even if you are good at web designing.
5. http://webdesign.com/ is a wonderful place to go for web designers. It has a training library with over 300 hours recorded training that can make anyone into a good web designer. It is by Web Design.com and this would be a good site for anyone wanting to make a site.

Personal Style

My personal style is sporty. I usually wear athletic shorts or sweatpants and a nike shirt or something like that. I will wear basketball shoes and nike socks. Anything basktball I will most likely wear. A good website that would demonstrate my style would be ESPN. It is a great example of my style.

Fireworks Review

Fireworks is a program that helps you with things that you want to do with your images such as cropping or inserting a text box. Although I thought it was hard at first it has gotten easier over time and it can help you a lot with your pictures. You can also preview your pictures by clicking the preview button. It is used a lot when you use Macromedia Dreamweaver for your images. I like just using basic paint but you can do more with this in specifics. If you do use this make sure you trim the canvas by going to the modify tab and then find trom canvas. Hope this helps you.

Jakob Nielsen's Usability 101

Jakob Nielsen defines usability by 5 components. Learnability, Efficiency, Memorability, Errors and Satisfaction. I can see how each of these can be put into usability. He also says that another key  one is utility. He says that usability is a very important factor on the web. If the place you are on is really slow you will probably get frustrated with the website and leave it. Nielsen continues to talk about usability and its importance. This is helpful to anyone who wants to learn about the web and usability.

Christian Web Design

   As Christians we are supposed to tell others about Christ. A website is a great way you can tell about Jesus and share the word. Max says that it is cool and that the pictures can or cannot be helpful. I think what matters is if the goal for your website is to glorify God. It doesn't have to have all the fancy pictures and stuff, even though that can help, it really depends on if you are doing it to glorify God. We can tell others about Christ and maybe even lead them to Jesus.All that we do should be to glorify Him.

Dreamweaver vs. Expression Web 4

Dreamweaver and expression are both very helpful for web designing. I prefer Dreamweaver a little because it is easier to find stuff like hyperlinking stuff. If you are going to buy one then you really could go either way. Expression is cheaper to install which is a good thing. Dreamweaver is super easy if you have someone to help you find the basic stuff. If you want one that is cheap though and will get the job done then I would just go with expression. It really depends on you. If you want a better quality go with dreamweaver.

Benefits of Dreamweaver

Dreamweaver is a lot more helpful than making your own html document. It is simple and easy to use. It is also very quick. Mr. Biddle made it very simple and I like it a lot a better than making your own html. If you don not like html very much i would prefer this to you.

Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs helped us communicate better and also helped us get access to music and to enjoy our life better with his wonderful products. His products, like iPod, iPad, and Apple made our lives much easier and funner!
