Task 9--Web Design--CHECK!
Wow! Funnest task yet! (Yes--funnest.) I have poked around these before, and used Google sites for some class assignments, which was a pretty good experience. I hadn't ever previously been subjected to the caveman painful coding web design, so I'm thankful to have escaped that. So I started originally on Google sites but I wasn't in love at all. With all my web savviness, I couldn't magically intuitively grasp how to accomplish some pretty simple tasks--like making a new page--so I moved on to Weebly. Which I liked much, much better. There was more variety to choose from as far as templates, layout options, and the drag and drop elements were much more user friendly. Formatting was sometimes kind of clunky--(I couldn't get two pictures right next to each other, which was 3 minutes of battiness before I gave up)--but for the most part, I think it was incredibly easy and actually very enjoyable. I took the Webolution opportunity to fashion a wesbite showing off my cake skills. Yay! I bet you money it'll make you at least a little bit hungry. Anyway, thanks to liberrycop for the great idea of using the experiment for something real. Adds to the fun. See it here: http://www.cakesbybetsey.weebly.com/.

I'm in cake heaven-is this for real? I'd order a cake from you in a heartbeat.
ReplyDeleteYes, of course it is for real! Granted I'm amateurish and have yet to do anything on a grand scale, I feel pretty capable of pulling off any request. Library staffers can of course just email me here, bdick@mcpld.org. :)
ReplyDeleteI am sooo gonna order a cake from you for the next family birthday!
ReplyDeleteYou are one smart woman using your web page to advertise your cake-making talents! I'll keep you in mind for my husband and my combined birthdays (one day apart)! How much notice is best for you?
