I created the website using adobe Dreamweaver, it is my first foray into html website design, and i think what I've learned can prove very useful on future projects. Honestly i managed to pick up html very easily, i like the setup of having CSS to handle every thing to do with style, and html handling the layout of elements. My main focus for my website were as follows:
- Full control over layout and design
- Sleek but not flashy design
- Smooth page transitions
- Integration of Blogger
- Responsive design, working on tablet, mobile, and PC
Dreamweaver proved useful as it organizes information quickly and easily for you, provides a live preview, and has some useful pre-constructed page elements. I looked over a few Lynda tutorials, but after a while i got a handle of it. One of the more interesting problem solutions i found was that i wanted to integrate my blog directly into my portfolio. Now, if i was feeling lazy, i would just link to the blogger hosted webpage. However, what i ended up doing was to embed the entire blogger page using an Iframe without scrolling. After that i went into my blogger page, wich lets you directly edit the html, and removed the title, links, and top bar from its source code; Leaving behind only the blog posts in a very simplified format. Now whenever i update my blog, those posts can be viewed on my portfolio.
