once more… appearance

we met once again this past week on wednesday in CSB 115.

the biggest problems of the day were how to create tabs that were functional.  honestly, i wasn’t involved too much in this.  Jill and Jen were the ones who were wrestling with that while i was trying to find a way to make the logo look nice.  i created a bunch of div tags- and at first, it really wasn’t working.  i couldn’t figure it out.  i thought perhaps div tags were not allowed or it was a different language- i actually don’t really know which language it belongs to.  is it just html or is it java or javascript or css?  but then, css is just a better way of organizing html… but at the same time, it does use its own language.

so i was a bit confused.  aimlessly looked around for examples, didn’t make sense.

and so i just did exactly what we did for previous assignments.  and i found that it really was a matter of a curly bracket enclosing the styles… that’s why throughout the assignment, the fonts didn’t change with the styles specified.  so after that, i just moved things around… put the logo at the top, put the tabs in the middle, then the finding friends search bar and then profile link.

another huge chunk of my time went into designing the logo and explanation.  it irks me a bit to see that the quality of the image is not that great.  it’s fuzzy.  but i suppose it will have to do.  i’ve been uploading images to my facebook photo album… so perhaps in the future, it will be able to randomly pick one out…

so now, my biggest obstacle is how to make a button template and chagne the worrds that appear- so that we don’t ahve to manually do everything.
