BP_12 My Journey with Dreamweaver


So for this project the tool I want to learn more about is Dreamweaver.  I think that Dreamweaver can 
be a very useful tool.  This can help me with my business and also with my teaching.   I have learned HTML in the past but haven't become fully proficient in designing websites.  So to start off I am using the tutorial on Lynda.  The first over view lessons are great in helping me plan out and decide what I want my site to look like.  It is very helpful to see this as a brainstorming web.  


My biggest struggle is understanding pixels and making sure that the site is easy to navigate. The Lynda.com tutorial helps break down the components of a page on he site you are trying to build to make sure it's appealing to the eye: Defines where you are, Clear and consistent navigation, hierarchy of info, visually different links and legible body copy that is not too long.








Time to map out my site before moving on to the next set of tutorials.
