website design

a friend and sort-of boss has asked me if i could help her design a simple website for her freelance business. she didn’t want anything to fancy, more of an electronic business card than an actual website. i have yet to tell her if i’d do it, mostly because i have never designed a website in my life. i made an aborted attempt to spruce up my blog ages ago and haven’t fiddled with html since then.

my boyfriend has assured me that i can do it – that it isn’t that difficult. well… we’ll see.

today i attempted to learn adobe’s dreamweaver. it is definitely a confusing mess to anyone not initiated. and I had a hard time even poking around, but i found an adobe tutorial about creating a basic website, which has proved to be very helpful. especially with content. so i’m on my way to having a design for my own website. (because i figured i shouldn’t charge her for my idiotic attempts.)

currently my stumbling blocks all relate to pictures. i loaded the ones i liked from my portfolio, but they wouldn’t show up. then i tried other random pictures, and they worked. i think my problem has to do with the size of the files. i will resize and try again.

here it is for now.
