What worked well?
Hmm, nothing was easy and I’m not sure if what I was able to do was all that effective.
Who is your target audience? What design choices did you choose to attract your audience to your site?
My site is intended to appeal to runners, fans of the Hood to Coast relay, doughnut aficionados, people interested in Portland running culture, and members of “The Gang.”
Color choice is critical (although poorly executed). I wanted to convey the same vibe you get from an ice cream truck or a Baskin-Robbins ice cream parlor.
What browsers did you test in? What differences did you see?
Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Chrome browsers were used to verify the compatibility of the site.
Slight differences were noted on the Chrome and IE browsers when displaying the 2nd page.
What troubleshooting did you experience?
Most of the troubleshooting involved tweaking the CSS so that the intended text was highlighted/readable. Some troubleshooting was brought to bear to figure out how to display link target web pages in a separate browser window/tab.
Describe your validating experience?
I had problems with the “target” attribute of the anchor tag. This was necessary in order to open a link target in a separate browser window/tab. Unfortunately, this attribute is only available in Transitional and Frameset. So far, I have not resolved this problem. Depending upon the implementation, this either causes the XHTML validation or the CSS validation to fail.
What best practices discussed in class assisted in your productivity?
Saving changes regularly and testing/validating the incremental modifications was helpful in detecting problems early.
