When creating a website you want it to be the best it can be right? Of course you do! Well, to start off you would want to ask what is the point of my site? Why am I doing this? The answer of course comes many ways but the optimal one is for people to see it. You want popularity, maybe making up for the lack of it in high school, but nonetheless you want people to see your work. You want to be proud of your crazily amazing skills and you want to flash them off to millions and billions of people (okay, so at least one other person realistically). So, in order to do this you must: try not to bore your audience to death! If they wanted to blandly look at your work then you should write a 30 page academic essay instead. This is your webpage so use that freedom!

Some interesting and possibly key tips are to:

-use pictures! not everything is aesthetically pleasing in words

-use complimentary colors

-do not use too many bizarre and neon colors- you are not trying to blind your audience

-use fonts that humans can read- none of this super small, ‘I need a magnifying glass’ type print, plus you may want to leave cursive style out for the most part

-and on the contrary try not to use obsessively large print- you do want more on your page than just 2 or 3 words

-use your brain- this means that you want your viewer to feel they learned something and not say to themselves “wow why did I just waste my time reading all of this?”

-lastly, HAVE FUN- this is not a medieval torture chamber! you need to be able to like what you’re doing in order to like what you created

Good Luck, and remember your audiences, you don’t want them to have to pack pillows and blankets!

Something I have used to add things and make edits to my webpages is by using HTML edit. Instead of just inserting different codes and figuring out what goes where, I have also used this form of editing to basically copy and paste and type on my page instead of using it’s code.

How do you get to this HTML edit? It’s simple really, just follow these steps:

1. Go to your control panel of your website

2. Click on File Manager

3. Go into your files where you have your webpages (i.e. CS103 then lab4 folder)

4. Once you have located the file, right click on it and select HTML Edit

5. From there you can copy and paste pictures, write text, edit fonts, etc. without having to insert the code itself. However, on the bottom left hand corner you can click on the tab Source and view and or change the codes.

6. Just click save when your done!

This is just a simplier way to edit your site incase you forgot the specific coding for something!
