I really enjoyed this assignment, but it took a really long time to do it. First I had a problem downloading Filezilla. I still don't have the hang of downloading files using Firefox. So while I thought I had down loaded Filezilla, I really hadn't. It took me literally an hour to figure this out! It's a good thing I am so persistent! I also enjoyed going back and forth making the different changes to the webpage. It was fun to keep hitting the "refresh" button and seeing the new comments that I had made.

I was bummed that I wasn't able to change the colors of the fonts. The webmonkey.com site was working. I kept getting an error message. :-(

Then when I tried to transfer the file to Filezilla, I couldn't find it. It took me another 30 minutes to find where I had saved the file, and I finally did. I saved it under "Documents" instead of "desktop". So while it was a frustrating process, I learned a lot from my mistakes. That seems to be the way of it for me. I seem to do things the hard way, but it's always a learning experience! :-)

If I had the time to really work with this, I could really have a good time developing my own website. It's not such a mystery anymore. I think it would take a lot of patience and a lot of corrections, but I used to create presentations for Executive meetings and it seems to be similar to that kind of work; painstaking and the simpler you can make it look, the more work went into the backend. Hopefully that makes sense!

Sue, thanks for the really cool assignments this week. It was a great way to end the quarter!
