  • Mike’s Tutoring Site–the final stretch

    Mike’s Tutoring Website. I had a heck of a time with my ErrorDocument (htaccess). A simple linking error caused me so much frustration because I had no idea what to do. The error pages are never helpful. (Below: What came up when I tried to check the link for my custom error page.) Turns out…

  • Mike’s Tutoring Website Version 4

    Mike’s Tutoring Website. When I added the pages, I changed the design once again. I realized that since each of the layouts for the pages are almost identical to the home page, I would need a slightly more obvious indication that the user sucessfully clicked through to the next page. This is where the blue…

  • Mike’s Tutoring Website Version 3

    Mike’s Tutoring Website. I changed the design today. I realized that the footer bar wasn’t doing anything for me and I didn’t really want to put a “copyright notice on this. I also stylized the mobile version today. To decrease loading time and increase readability (and so I didn’t have to design bigger buttons) I…

  • My Information Diet

    My boss, Terry, handed me a copy of this last week’s Adweek magazine. I was surprised at how relevant I felt its content is. Some of the articles covered how generating and manipulating memes plays a huge role in today’s advertising world. What I loved was the piece at the end of the magazine called…

  • Crush Crew: It’s an Art Club

    Through Facebook, I found out about Crush Crew. They had an application process, but ultimately everyone who applied were accepted. The application involved submitting the story of “my first art crush.” Of course, I told them about how I was an impressionable young girl when Titanic came out and I adored his charcoal drawings. He…

  • Web Design Process: My First Linked Page

    Mike’s Tutoring Website. Today’s fun: writing copy and adding the contact page. This site is a simple one. I kept the layout the same. Maybe, too much the same. I’m going to get some input on it and possibly change it tomorrow. In my coding today, the footer somehow flew up to my nav bar,…

  • Adventures in Coding (the beginning of a most boring series of posts)

    I was coding Mike’s Tutoring Website trying to control the container so my second column would float to the right of my first column… anyways, I made an extra wrapper for my slideshow (I put it in yellow for the time being, so I could see it) and most of my website went yellow and…

  • Mike’s Tutoring Website Version 1

    Mike’s Tutoring Website. I spent most of today trying to make my jquery slideshow work. How it actually did, I am not sure. (What a tangled web of files, I did weave.) I tried to download some files from the internet, but it didn’t seem to work. I kept seeing my slideshow as a static…
