Webpage Assignment

Please visit my website at www.cs.trinity.edu/~rnewson!

I enjoyed this assignment, but it was definitely harder than I thought.  I didn't realize how so much as one little detail (such as changing the page properties from percent to pixel) can completely alter the website's appearance in a browser.  I tried to use Kompozer from my laptop to work on the assignment, but it was different enough from Expression Web that I had trouble with it, so I ended up downloading Expression Web from the Trinity network.  I really like my navigation bar because I think the pictures I chose make it look clean and simple, but the colors and styles work together so it looks nice. 

I would have liked to maybe add more pictures and personal touches to the website.  I really wanted to add some music and animations, but I had such a difficult time just making sure the pictures and text were set up correctly that I didn't have time to figure out how to do that.  My biggest technical challenge was getting everything to appear in the browser the way I wanted it to - I had to resize and re-center almost everything to get it right.  My biggest design challenge was trying to make sure everything appeared balanced (text vs. pics, colors, etc.).  I'll probably end up showing my site to my mom and my roommate.  Depending on the situation, I may end up making another website for another class in the future.
