First of all, I’ve created an html that contented my introduction and my picture by using notepad. There are not many difficulties in creating an html. I just refer to the lecturer notes and previous html exercises. Then, I leave it to my member, Raymond Ng, to add in his part and edit the webpage if he feels necessary. Moreover, he will be the one who post the html online. Afterwards, I go to create a blog in blogger.com. The blog is very simple to create and it was fun.
In this assignment, I have used 3 tools to help me finish it. Firstly, I’ve used notepad to create html. I think notepad is very good to use for creating webpage, but someone can’t create a webpage if that person doesn’t know any html code. Besides, html code can be very confusing without any lectures. Secondly, I used blogger.com for blog writing. I’m kind of like blogging after I started it because I can share my thought with many people. However, I will worry that my writings will be plagiarized by others. And lastly, I used bravenet.com to upload my html and post my webpage online. I think it’s simple to post a webpage online, but a fancy webpage will require more procedures like post more pictures online at the same time.
I do face some difficulties in debugging html codes. For example, I’m very confused with the codes, but luckily I have done some html exercises, I released that actually it is a type of formula just like mathematics. If you open something with brackets <>, you must close it with a slash “/” inside another bracket at the end of the coding sentence. So I begin to try different code and try to put on colors using color codes and upload pictures by putting the URL of the pictures.
When there is something wrong inside the code or something I want doesn’t exist in the webpage, I just go back to the notepad and change the coding. This editing process will repeat many times until I get what I want. But sometimes I will ask my friends in stand, and learn from each other.
My partner and I have no difficulty in choosing the suitable web hosting server. We think that it will be simple if we just follow the steps of our lecturer, Ms. Shahrinaz, who has used bravenet.com to create her website. Furthermore, there are no difficulties in uploading the files to web server since my partner has the bravenet account. It does taken a while to upload the files. As well as we have to copy the html coding and paste it on another html that created by the server named “index”, otherwise the webpage will appear as “content under constructions”. In all, we managed to post the html online within half an hour.
On the other hand about creating blog and learning how to use it, at first, I find it very hard to create since I don’t even write any blog. After I knew that I can create a blog in blogger.com, I face another difficulty – I have no Google account at all. Then, I go to create a Google account just for this blogger.com, and then I register and create a blog named “The life I've been”.
After all, this html and blogging assignment is fun and full of adventures. I get to know new stuff like html, blog, and web hosting server, and I actually can see the possibilities of create my own story blog and webpage by using these new stuffs. If I can do it again, I will try to make my html fancier and more interesting.
