I'd like to take this time to dedicate a very big thank you to Prof. Murray for taking the time in class this last Thursday to walk us through setting up our site definitions (also known as the .ste file), showing us how to create pages, and explaining a few basic Dreamweaver properties.
That being said, the biggest headache about this project thus far is the fact that it all revolves around being able to use Dreamweaver properly. And unfortunately, if one doesn't really understand the logistics of Dreamweaver, this project feels like an incredible weighty and insurmountable task. Sometimes I just want to scream at the computer that I am not computer science literate and that making a webpage shouldn't be this hard! In fact, I believe it there should be a program that's a sort of web-scrapbook that allows you to create your page via a sort of drag and drop system we all come to expect since Apple's design team conditioned us to think that way. And if you're saying that a program out there DOES exist and it's called Dreamweaver then I disagree! While Dreamweaver is somewhat user friendly, you really do have to an understanding of how the internet reads webpages and how the coding of said program works to fully comprehend how to design a page.
Oi, guess it looks like it's back to the user's manual for me...
