HTML Code

Even though there are programs out there like Microsoft expression and Dreamweaver, it is important to understand how to use and read HTML code. The reason behind this is that all web pages are created through HTML code and through the code is how it appears nice and clean on the Internet. For instance if a web designer wanted to adjust certain lines or words on his/her web page, he/she would have to go through the code and fix it from there for it to turn out the proper way on the website. If you look at every web page making program, you will notice that there is a code layout tab which you can view in HTML code and make adjustments to your page directly from this tab. Understanding how to use HTML code will enable the web page creator not only to make more efficient web pages but when problems arise in the future he/she will be able to fix them by looking and adjusting the HTML code.

My Favorite PPT Presentations!

I was truly impressed with Steven Sheppard's PPT presentation. My favorite part of his presentation had to have been the intro slides where there was a good balance between music and fade in and outs of the pictures which were articulate and moving. Another reason why I liked his presentation so much was the fact that the audience knew that he simply did not just do this project because he was an English major but that he had a huge interest in the Dell Magazine subject.
Another that I was truly intrigued with has to be Alexis' accounting internship presentation. I really liked how she made her presentation so neat and perfect which I am sure she did on purpose to match with her accounting subject. And most people see accounting as a boring topic but Alexis named the points where having an accounting internship can be interesting and fun.

Chris Nolan's Presentation

Chris Nolan brought new light onto me about surfing the web and using search engines. One new thing that I learned that I know will help me on my future web searches is the advanced search option. I did not know about this option and he gave a very good example with the Mexico and photography search. I did not know that you can exclude certain words or phrases to come up in your Google searches and I know this is so helpful because it narrows down a search substantially. One thing that surprised me about what Mr. Nolan said was the topic on .gov sites. I knew that sites ending in .gov were government sponsored sites but I did not know that the government could skew information as Mr. Nolan explained. Now I believe I am a smarter web surfer and more skeptical viewer as I search the web.
