Besides having done a very basic free website and myspace, I have very little experience with web design (especially hypertext and coding). Chapter three really calmed my nerves a little because the basics are very much like putting together something on Microsoft Word and mixing the style so that it is very reader-friendly and appealing (bold, italics, spacing, alignment, etc.). I also agree with the importance of the background. I have come across so many websites where the "busy-ness" of the background took away from the text or made the text completely unreadable. When I come to websites like these, rarely do I stay for more than a few seconds because I'll get frustrated with trying to read the text.
Chapter four taught me a lot more about getting started with designing my website. Organization really is key to making any plan work, so it really helped to get tips on how to organize my folders and how to label them so I have easy access. I have so many documents and pictures and it usually takes me forever to get them organized because I have them saved under one folder. This project will really teach me the importance of managing all files. This chapter gave me very useful information that extended beyond just the basics and started the actual web design planning and overview. I do wonder what web host we will use and how FrontPage can correspond to that webhost. I've only worked with geocities and they have their basic web page setup, so I'm still unsure of how Front Page will coordinate with a web host.
