Friday - Website nearly finished

We started off today with the quiz by Gabe. This quiz was about our next unit that is computer hardware. There was a video to watch and it was out of 16 marks. In the end I managed to get 11/16 that was not too bad.

After that I worked on adding more content to my website. I was aiming to get close to finishing today so I could work on the written work for Monday and Tuesday as we move onto the new unit on Thursday.

Finally I worked on adding in some images. I wanted to add in some social media buttons and a picture of me on the about me page. I have yet to add in the picture of me however I did design all of social media media sites but I do need to add them into my website. They are not linked at the moment so I will do that on Monday.

Thursday - Collecting feedback

We did not start off today with the quiz because Gabe had not created it. This meant that we carried on working on our website. My aim for today was to collect some responses on my website on what can be improved and to add in more content to my website as there is not a lot on there.

I firstly worked on adding some information for the website. I  also tried to get the website working on Internet Explorer however I was having issues with that so I will keep on trying to fix it when I find a way. I decided to add in some contact details and finish off adding in my grades. In the end, I learnt that Internet Explorer does not support a lot of plugins and files, so it is natural to have a broken website when I run it on Internet Explorer.

Finally I was collecting some responses for my website using SurveyMonkey. I was still having issues with the FTP server on FileZilla so I just asked people to come to my monitor. I added on a couple more questions and then I sent it out so I have evidence. I have found out that I should fix the buttons on my navigation bar and I need to change my border colour on my grades table.

Tuesday - Adding more content

Once again we started off today just carrying on designing our websites. I was aiming to add in some content today and to tidy up my code and add in a couple more features. I wanted to have some content in the website before I upload it and send it off for people to review.

I firstly started off changing my 3D text as I missed an apostrophe in it. This did not take too long to do. It does look better now so I am pleased with it. I also had a problem with my footer later in the day so I had to fix that. It was not at the bottom of the page when you added more text so I had to change some of the CSS to make it work.

Finally I worked on adding different pieces of content such as my grades and a small introduction to my website. I did get a little confused when creating the table as I got confused on the tags however I managed to work them out quite quickly.

Monday - Website design

Today was another day of working on our websites. I was not sure what I wanted to do today so I just planned out as I went along. One thing I needed to do was to create a survey to get feedback about my website so far so I did need to do this today. I have not sent out the survey yet as I was having an issue connecting to the server.

Firstly I found an error with my footer not being at the bottom of the page. This took quite a bit of time to work out how to fix it. In the end I had to set it up in the CSS file and add in a div tag. This managed to fix it and it is on the bottom of all of the pages.

Finally I created my survey and worked on some other features of my website such as fixing a border issue on the logo. This did not take too much time to fix and it looks a lot better now. I have also nearly finished my survey so that should not take too long to do.
