At 25 of May in Introduction to Internet Technology’s class, we had known that we need to do a assignment in group of two members. My partner is Yap Wei Kean. First of all, we try to decide on what web host to be used. As Mrs. Sharinaz recommended, geocities and bravehost is a free webhost. However, we try to figure it out by ourselves. Finally, we had chosen x10hosting.com as our webhost. After that, we need an individual blog for ourselves. I had use blogger.com to create my own blog. I had a blog before but never try to use it. Therefore, I use back old blog and change some of its layout. As we had our own blog, we start to decide on our team name. We had chosen TeamW as our team name as we both have a W in our name.
Then, we start coding. There was a big trouble we had faced when we try to work on title. We failed to make the text to gradient color with CSS style. However, we figure it out when we use Adobe Photoshop! But another problem formed! We found that IE6 doesn’t support transparency with PNG format. However, we fixed this problem as we convert it to GIF form. We continue our work on body. We decide to put all our information in a table form with 1 row and 2 columns. We put our pictures, profiles and our blog address inside the tables. It looked perfect in IE8. However, we found that the table width goes wrong as we open it with Mozilla Firefox. We try to review the code and try to debug. Finally, the two tables is equivalent when run on both IE8 and Mozilla Firefox. We had placed some website address which related to our assignment on the footer, which lay on the bottom of the page. For examples, x10hosting.com and Blogger.com.
When the draft of the webpage had done, we work on the design of our webpage. I am weak at it as I never work on it before. Luckily, my partner worked hard on it. He had created the background of webpage using Adobe Photoshop and using the suitable background color for it. Big trouble came as we didn’t what is the correct code for color. Luckily, we had Google. Finally, we found the correct code for it. Then, we work on font and table cell. Finally, we felt satisfy for our works and upload it to the webhost. We had use cuteFTP to upload it. I felt headache as I never use it before. Luckily, we success to use it!
In conclusion, I learned a lot of things in this assignment, especially when upload by using cuteFTP. This assignment gives me the chance to practice on HTML that I had learned in class. If I need to work on this assignment again, I would work harder on the webpage design as I am weak on it!
