Hi Kate, For a first webpage you're doing pretty well - you have some images there and have changed the background colour and text colour on the page.
However, using the Dreamweaver design view approach will not give you the best end results, or teach you the best practices. Peter's link gives you some really good tips on moving beyond the elementary use of Dreamweaver's design view, and point 5 - validate your page to find basic errors is a definite step you don't want to miss. Other than that, you may want to look at following online tutorials. For example, your menus can be enhanced by following some easy steps (for example, http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listutorial/horizontal_introduction.htm) which you can then edit as you like. You will be able to find many tutorials for page layout, table styling, menus etc. by searching Google and people here will also be able to give you pointers on good tutorials. Then moving forward when you feel more confident with editing the html & css from these tutorials, you will be able to build your own menus and eventually the entire website from scratch based on your custom design :) All the best, Rachel -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of kate Sent: 24 November 2008 11:57 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WSG] First Attempt Hello Peter, I followed with another messge for the link but here it is: http://www.jungaling.com/katalinadesigns/index.html Sorry.!
