Readings:
Creating Web Sites-
Chapter 15: This chapter covers fancy buttons and menus. I most honestly say that I am unable to accurately create the buttons and menus. My website has a very plain menu bar and does not include buttons. Even though there are some free button makers, I still had problems. I could not get the HTML tag correct in order to add these features to my website. The chapter does go over the process but I need more help on this topic.
Chapter 16: The final chapter in this book deals with audio and video. I think that it is neat to be able to add audio and video into a website. Using the various multimedia methods is not easy when developing a website. It is important that the developer knows how to link and embedd these links into your HTML file. There are a variety of flash programs that can be used but ultimately the developer has to get past the embedding process.
