Chapter 3 & 4 Notes

I have never made any web sites, and reading these two chapters actually made me more nervous because it seems like there is so much to learn! I am interested in seeing how much I can learn and take from this class. It seems like there is no exact way of telling someone how to make a website because I noticed many times in the reading it was mentioned that this book doesnt give exact directions for any one program or any specific sort of computer. It seems very important to pay attention to how you title your folders, and where you put each of your pages. I wouldn't want to lose a whole web page that I worked on. Since I am just beginning I feel that I am going to try and mess up a few times before I get the hang of what steps I need to take to avoid extra work. Some of the directions seemed relatively easy, especially concerning the font. I have ideas for what I want my web site to look like, so I hope I can catch on right away. The book seems very helpful as a checklist when finishing the web page. There is so much to pay attention to, and the book offers reminders and tricks to help fix them. I thought that the section on layers was difficult. I didn't really understand how they work and it was confusing to me. Mainly I think if we are organized, we should be able to play around with the programs and understand them.
