CSS - It's all got box shaped

Well what can I say about CSS, when I started using it I thought it was a little dawnting at first but now. I find it quite easy to implement pages with CSS, that are also compliant with the latest standard, using XHTML 1.0 Strict.

I find that the Validating tools at W3.org are very good as you can check you pages locally and when they have been uploaded to your own webspace.


When I final master the art of CSS, I am going to try to get my site fully compatable with the accessibilty guidelines. The guidlines are also set by W3.org, however there is also other guidlines towards accessibility such as section 508, which is the American guidlines to accessability.

Here is what I have so far for A8 Cissy assignment: The brief is based upon the reboot website, re-design the BBC home page. This has been incorparated into our assignment. However the site is to use CSS.

Please post any feedback on my current designs, your comments are welcome good or bad.

Flash - Not so Flash

Well what can we say from this month's assignment, I only have one word that comes to mind "Flash".

The Flash assignment A12_KISS, I thought that this would be an easy one to do, until I started getting problems with Actionscript. What a pain, most of the time it doesn't do what it says it does. Like making the script go to the next scene, frame 10 for example, just because you miss out the handler it throws a paddy and errors like made.

Put the actionscript coding right and still it won't work, also doesn't help when your using a slow computer, as when testing the flash file it judders alot this doesn't make things easy for testing.

On a better note though I final got my Flash assignment complete, all be it at the last minute, everything seems to slot into place when you have a short amount of time left well that's what it felt like today.

Tasks for Next Week:

  • Work
  • More Work
  • And even more Work

Will be finding out next week as to the new assignment. That's it for today, untill next time
