This is an education project for a fictional producer of straw widgets.
I used this week to start creating the skeleton for my site. I also worked with images and the audio file.
This week, I spent about 8 hours reading material for my site. I also spent 5 hours deliberately practicing on my site. My main focus was on creating the audio file as well as fixing my links and images. My modules made it easier for me to add some new pages to my site. However, I found that the links to the new pages didn't work. I had apparently forgotten to add .php to my links.
The most fun I had this week was creating and uploading the audio file. The file is only 5 and a half seconds long, but it took a couple of hours to figure out how to get it on my site. I downloaded the software, and followed the instructions for recording the file. Then I edited out the dead space at the end. Then I coded the page so the file would run in multiple browsers. It was fun to see it work on my laptop as well as my husband's iphone. He was just glad that it didn't start when he opened the page.
I spent over an hour trying to get my images to load. I still can't figure out what is wrong. The alt tags show up, but no images. This time, I decided to leave the coding on the site. I added an image about straw on about us and the lesson 5 deliberate practice image for links.
Despite the things that didn't work, I was able to fix a lot of links. I also have spent some time gathering more content for my site. I Have a lot to do in the next week. I still need to find out why my images won't load.
Life is good!
