Testing

Hello

A big sigh of relief!

Ahhh, I'm finally done with the semester and can enjoy the rest of the summer!

After some frustrations with blogger not working, and running into ftp problems today, my site it finally posted at:

all my other assignments are posted here:

It is quite amusing to go back and look at my earlier attempts at design and see how much I have progressed over just a semester. If web work wasn't so frustrating, I'd do more of it. Hopefully over the summer I will complete a homepage for myself that will have a vitae on it so when I get my degree I can imediately start job hunting!

Website continued

I'm experimenting with three different fonts, and I'm having trouble deciding which to use. I've definitely settled on the penmanship font for the navigation bar. I'm indecisive about the font for the headings. There's two, one called technical, which is what is now posted on the homepage, and there's one called antique type that's posted at:

I'm also still working on my restoration "gallery." It's much improved, but not where I want it yet. It's getting there.

Preliminary final website

Is the title an oxymoron or what?
I've posted a draft of the site at:

It is still a work in progress. I envisioned the "restoration" page to be a gallery of projects, but I am having lots of problems placing the photos exactly where I want them and making everything look nice on the page. So far, this is my best attempt.
I'm still searching for the perfect font for the large headings. The blueprint type font I chose looks great for small things such as the footer, but I think it does lose something when it gets bigger.
Still working...
