Well done Penny, far better than my first attempt at a web page (come to think of it, it is better than my first 5 or 6 pages)...

My tip is to learn how to use Photoshop as well as fireworks. You caan use fireworks to design a layout for a webpage quite easily. Photoshop is awesome once you get to know the basics..

Also, get to know css layers. You can litterally stack images on top of one another to create whatever effect you want. There is a lot of messing around with it, you need to know how many pixels you need to space image A so far from image B and so on..

Another tip.. Liisten to music while your trying to design something It helps me, maybe it will help you..

Thank you very much Northener.
Photoshop CS4 is really hard for me. I have my tutorial but still I'm stuck oftentimes. I might need to enrol in the future. Fireworks is great! I've seen those webpage with fireworks design but I don't know how to use it yet.
Our topics done were cascading CSS Rule, DIV Tags, navigation, Inserting images, Reading HTML, behaviours and soon we will make frames.

Yes I don't know what to do with the space on the right.
I just drew a layer from format menu bar and insert image.
I want to insert a gallery maybe. What do you think? Please help.

Wow! I wish we are classmates so you can teach me lol! What software you are using?
I wish to finish my course soon. I used to stay at school from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 pm. I can go to school anytime from 9-5 mon-sat. Very comfortable as we have no schedule to follow.

No, I design the odd web page for fun but also for a friends business. And I am self taught, far from being a good designer... Some days I spend the whole day working on a website, only to reject it later

Oh, well.. But it can be fun sometimes

[KeithD]

Penny you can add a link to it if you have one

Now learn PHP/MySQL (it's easy) and you'll be worth a good wad in the IT market.

Wow that's great! You must be a good designer. Men usually very good in design. And english people do learn by just reading lol. Unlike me, I really need to enrol.

This is the business I want in the future. But only a dream yet.
I live in the city in Pinas but there are only few business with own website.
I am sure I need to learn more to get there.

Fireworks is not that easy, so maybe I will choose webhosting with photo gallery features.

Boss, I made Mypage,index,css,welcome,and template html in one site and folder. I don't know how will it link together later. I have a small idea only at the moment. I am making website in the school and it said in the book, I will see the site after I finished the 7 lessons.

I have learned about PHP/MySQL when I bought online for a joomla and siteground templates. It didn't work out because I am not satisfied with their templates and hard for me to make design of my own. But then I learned a lot about MySQL.

Boss, I am making a council type webpage. It is about our town so I need more links to do.

i am studying web design and management, software includes perl, java, asp, php etc etc (so many). i should have finished it 1 1/2 yrs ago but got pregnant every year (2007, 2008), so i have to stop every now and then it's quite hard trying to juggle learning, work and family . yup i wish as well that we are going at the same school, i can't go to school physically hence i am an open uni student, i have no time, 2 young kids and currently part time working at home. that's why when i saw your web page it's pretty good considering you have tried learning it for 3 weeks. well done to u.

Wow that is a long time course for you and you are so hardworking Mom. I understand you are busy with kids and education here is like a fast learning. You need to have time to study at home, practice, doing homework. I can do all of those as studying is my hobby at the moment.

I am doing ECDL, it is a one year course but I am qualified to take it in fast tract of 12 weeks. IMO, Webdesign will be easy if you have background in MS Office and good background in internet. You can learn more it in a month in a reputable learning school with teaching assistants and if you focus your time studying.

I have no much knowledge about Java software you are using. This is the one I am using at home and at school.

Looks like all the hard work is paying off, like with anything at first learning a skill/s seems hard and then suddenly it will all click. Hope you like learning as with all IT you will be learning for the rest of your working career

Plenty of free or cheap webhosting sites about they might bung on some adverts but if it saves you money its worth it

Be careful with web hosts some are pretty crap, Webfusion is the worst in my book.

Thanks Boss! Webfusion is not in top 10, but in top rated views in UK latest web reviews ! I think I should not believe in ratings.

You'll find most of those rating sites are working on commission.
