CSS - Layouts

Had a good go at some CSS layouts this afternoon. A lot easier than I first thought, I just have to take my time when typing them out, too many typo errors. I have to make sure to save one set of CSS instructions then type out the rest and so on. Errors can then be picked up more easily.

Things to do things Week:

  • Home Page
  • Weather Page
  • Sport Page

All done in CSS incorporating technologys from the BBC Reboot brief. I think after this afternoons go at more CSS layout, I am confident that my CSS site can be up and running in a shorter space of time. This will then allow me to test for errors and finsh off task 3.

New Year: What’s new for 2007

Starting off this year will be:

New assignment ( Don’t know what it is yet), continuing with previous assignments, both IME and the CISSY assignment.

Just come back off the Xmas holiday and ready to get stuck in with some new work, something fresh to get started on.

Had a good think of all my options over the holidays, regarding my future plans. Either to start working straight after the HND or to carry on at University, I now think I have made my mind up of what to do. I have decided to go onto university; I have seen a couple of courses in which I would like to look into, one of them is listed below.

BSc Multimedia Computing (Top up from FdSc/HND) (full-time/part-time) at Barnsley College

The course is done through Huddersfield University; the course should be based at the Barnsley Centre. This enables me to easily travel to and from the college.

The course would be a bonus if it is definitely being held at this centre. I will have to get emailing to see if it is.
