Report for my IT assign

Here goes my report about how I start and finish my whole web page for my I.T assignment.

First of all, creating the web page doesn't sounds hard to me. But once I get my hand down, it seems like not really easy though. A bit dizzy with where to start with. After knowing all those details that we needed to insert into our web page, I started to look after those code. For example, table, uploading a picture and much much more.

The process and method I used is based on what I have learnt in my I.T's class and some additional information which I found through the other websites. Although all those codes somehow it's the same, standardize, but there's a little bit different for a few codes that I have learnt. They can be write in several ways to perform the same thing. But most of the time I used the simplest way to finish my web page.

The tools that I have used included the simple notepad, common web browser-Firefox and some other webpages for reference. There is no obstacle to deal with notepad and Firefox. But what I found messy was I get different kind of code when I try to draw a horrizontal line. Was quite frustrated with that. But thanks God, that I finally found one that is suitable.

Basically, the output of my web page is the simplest way, I think. Not much of fancy fancy stuff. So, there isn't much trouble when I try to create my web page with HTML code. But I found it's quite fun to play with those HTML codes. It's just like a new toy for a 3 years old kid. XD

Regarding to the web hosting, at first I plan to use my friend's server. But I not sure whether my lecturer will accept it or not, cause she mentioned that must be a free web server. So, I end it up using Bravehost that my lecturer suggested. Although she said the web server is not really user-friendly, but when I attempt to use it, I found it's quite good.

Well, my experience about uploading the file into the web server is not so bad. Overall can cconsider as quite smooth. After a few click to explore how the Bravehost operate, I manage to find the wizard setting and upload my codes to the web page. There is a visual and code preview function that I can check from time to time to compare whether my code is sync with what I want. And for the picture stuff, I first uploaded it on my friendster and facebook account and copy-paste the image link through there. I found this way is more conveninet if I upload my pictures to those file sharing webpage. I'm brilliant. Haha.

The only issue with operating my blog, is to create another blog from my previous account. At first I don't know there is something like managing several blog with one registered e-mail. But after attending the I.T class, I found out this way. So, I followed the instruction from my lecturer and created another blog from my previous account which seperate my previous personal blog.

Indeed, from the whole process, what I have learnt is how to write a very basic HTML code. And I'm so proud with it! If there is another same assignment like this, I will make my page more fancy and looks more standard. This is because what I am doing now is just something like very basic and pale-looking. I gonna unleash my creativity to create something which will hit the fame of my I.T class!
