Midterm - Part 1, Leslie Elliott

Here is my link: http://sws.pcc.edu/student/CAS206_pdeangel_43992/leslieelliott56/Midterm/Website-Part1/

What worked well?

The main parts such as the headers, footer, unordered lists and definition list worked as I wanted them to. I had a hard time working on some of the class tags to get them as I wanted. That's mostly why I'm posting so late. I would have been done hours ago, otherwise.

Who is your target audience? What design choices did I choose to attract your audience to your site?

My target audience is my family and friends. I decided to go with a basic layout design to keep it organized and easy to read. Picking out the colors was tough. The color scheme I went with is nothing I started out with and I'm not complete happy with it. Most of the people I know, know that I'm a Seahawks fan so, it was purely unintentional, but that's what I ended up with so I kept it.

What browsers did you test in? What differences did you see?

I tested on IE, Firefox and Opera. I mainly use Firefox so my formatting looked as I wanted it to. When I tested on IE, everything was much larger. Wow! I didn't realize there was such a difference. Opera look the same as Firefox.

What troubleshooting did you experience?

As I mentioned before, I had a hard time keeping the ID and Class selectors straight. With trial and error, I think I have it figured out. I had forgotten about using the element. Once I went through my practice pages and remembered to use them in the listing sections, they worked to make some of the text show as I wanted.

Describe your validating experience.

Validating went pretty smoothly. Just a few errors because I either left out a ">" or ";". Otherwise, no problems.

What best practices discussed in class assisted in your productivity.

Cutting and pasting was a big help. Plus, on the CSS page, keeping a color list is very helpful. I also like using markers which lets me keep track what is what.
