However, I found that teaching myself was resulting in my missing many of the finer points of HTML and decided that if I was ever really going to grasp all the concepts captured in the fine art of web design that I should probably entertain the possibility of pursuing some kind of formal training on the subject.</p> <p>And so began my participation in a 7-week course in HTML and Cascading Style Sheets offered through <a href="http://itatryerson.com" target="_blank">The Chang School</a> at Ryerson. It comes as no surprise that as part of the course, one of my tasks is to create a webpage using the many techniques learned throughout the course. Being the creative genius that I am, this is what I've come up with. The exerpt below is taken from an email (plea if you will) I sent to all the email addresses unfortunate enough to have found their way into my contact list......Thankfully, a number of friends and family humoured me by sending their contributions to my little project and clicking on any of the links under 'creative genius' in the menu on the right will display what each person sent me. Enjoy!</p> </td> </tr> </table> <hr width=100% size="2"> <h4>To: Everyone I Know<br> cc: A few more people just in case<br> Subject: Website</h4> <h4>Short Version (for those with limited attention span):</h4> <p>I would be very grateful if you would take the time to think about something you'd be willing to send to (and ultimately share with) me that you feel is an expression of yourself. It needs to be something you can send to me electronically and something I can upload to a website (don't worry too much about this part - I'll figure that out).</p> <p>Suggestions include:</p> <ul> <li>a picture you are particulary fond or proud of</li> <li>some kind of written _expression</li> <li>a clip of music (legal of course)</li> <li>a picture or scan of a piece of art you've created</li> </ul> <h4>Longer Version (for those that actually care WHY I might be asking this):</h4> <p>I'm taking a web site design course (hopefully more to follow that will eventually lead to an advanced training designation) and as part of the course I need to design a web page. It needs to be something releatively unique and make use of media that belongs to me (i.e. I haven't ripped it off someone else's website). So I thought that maybe I would try to get some kind of collection of things from those that are near and dear to me (that's you) that they feel is an expression of themselves. Maybe that's a picture you are particularly fond or proud of, some kind of expression in writing (poem, song, story, etc.), a clip of music (please make sure it's legal), a scan or picture of some piece of artwork you've produced......You get the idea. I'd really love to collect as much as possible, so please consider this and send me whatever you can think of.</p> <p>Thanks in advance to everyone :)</p> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
