OMG!!!

I thought this week's assignments were going to be three "easy" tasks. That was not the case for me. I really enjoyed learning how to use Dipity. Oddly, the majority of my time was spent reading the history of the Internet and then locating the pics. The site was easy to navigate and the result was pretty cool (if I do say so myself).

HTML was another story altogether. My web page looks awful and I know it. I spent an enormous amount of time on the last 2 assignments to the detriment of my family. As I write this, my family has been asleep for a couple of hours now. I was so challenged by finding the series of key strokes that were missing, I couldn't give up and go to bed! I hunted them down and found the errors. That being said, HTML is not my calling. I am aware HTML exists and I know its purpose. I now have a deeper appreciation the software that makes it easier for people like me to create websites. By the way, does this mean I'm now bilingual?

  1. By the way, it's 12:45 a.m.- not the 9:18 p.m. as indicated by the post time.

  2. I second your thoughts...I didn't even put in as much time on my timeline because I was so concerned about not being able to do the html assignments. I must say, I do not care about creating a webpage using HTML at all! I printed out the tutorials and viewed them...needless to say, I feel like I have nothing accomplished.

  3. That is an interesting point! Should HTML be considered an official "language" as we talk about French or German or Spanish?

  4. Donia - is there anything that I can do to help you feel differently?
