Today first I tested the "almost ready" BAAM website, which is getting better and better. I mean the website itself. :) I found only 3-4 problems, which are already solved by now, because I discussed with the others who were responsible for that staff. Kata and me had an idea how to change the top-bar links into a nicer version, what Évi also mentioned, and we told it to Susy, Bob & Oksana, and I belive Oksana could do it well. Unfortunately I haven't seen the final result yet, because it is under construction now, but I'm sure that it will be much nicer and also will working well. Afterwards i joined to Évi's group to find out all the captions, and I enjoyed the work as such fun with them. That's why I really liked and like this class, because we could work together very well in smaller or biger groups and we had so much fun to create something good together.

Today i worked together with Evi, Franzi, Natela & Katinka in photo-group again. We decided which pictures would be the best on our webpage. After we have chosen the winners we decided how to edit and how to correct them. I enjoyed it so much. I mean i enjoyed to work together with the girls, and i also realy liked to collect the images. And honestly, i realy liked how the entire works coming up into one particular webpage, which is getting better hour by hour. Here are quite talented guys in our group! I liked it, and i still like it. :-)

Today i participated in photo-group's work. We've looked over thousands of great photos about our first and second semester, and we've chosen some really good ones to put to the website. We agreed on how to modify them, and afterward Évi did it. It was quite enjoyable work together with the girls, i liked it so much. And it was also good to see how the issues of sub-groups came together in one particular issue and became one real webpage.

Elinor, Ralph and I worked together on the main structure of the BAAM homepage. According to Elinor it was more like storming and not brainstorming, but I think it was OK. Although we took different hard lines sometimes, finally we agreed and created the essentials of the structure, all the buttons, the basic topics and the way how those can connect to each other. I enjoyed to work with those smart and funny individuals! :-)

Anyway - it's not connected, but maybe important - I really like to thank You for inviting the guest lecturer, Mary Ann Prior! It was more than useful for us, and especially for me, as I feel!

I'm sorry, but I feel that this is not my favourite class anymore. Last time, during the spring holiday i spent a whole day here in school to create my cute website. I enjoyed to create the pages, to imagine and realise the design, the functions, the navigation and so on, how a page can connect to one other, how to create links, and changing images. I've choosen a lot of interesting pictures to put in, I've created a delicate background for it.... and after 4-4,5 hours work I lost everything. I was totally disappointed and angry. But I took a big deep breath, and started to create something perfectly new. (Because I didn't want to do the same thing again, it would have been so nerve-racking for me.) So, last time a started to create a new website, which is (or actually only was) about oriental design & furnituring which connects to me in a very special way - because originally I'm an interior designer, and I'm really interested in different cultures and philosophy. I've created a completely new design, background, theme etc., I've choosen new pictures and modified them, and also linked to other pages, which contain the background informations.... But after I opened and tested my website, for some reason I lost everything again, except the index.html, just like last time...... I felt i got a nervous breakdown. I lost all the images and all the linked / connected pages, everything. I'm perfectly disappointed.....
But now i learnt that i really have to save 2 or 3 copies of every material.

But anyway, I'm curious to see the new BAAM website, and I'm glad to do the testing work, together with my small group. We'll be the critical eyes, to find and help any mistake, and create something really usefull and exiting stuff. :-)

Here I'm again. Last time i missed the half of the last part, which was the practical part unfortunatelly, so i was soooo afraid of what can i do today... But, it's really not so hard. And i guess, Phil is quite good in this stuff, and explains it well, clearly, so belive me or not - now i'm not affraid anymore. I can do it and i will do it somehow. It was soooo good to do it in practice. I wish if i could work on it at home for a while, to create something interesting. The only problem was that i didn't have any idea what to create. I just tried to use the possibilities of this software. This rollover thing is great, and astonishingly simple to do. I was amazed. But it didn't work for me for some reason. And after 6-8 tries -with Evi's help- we found the solution. I had to change the name of the image, without apostrof. That's it. And afterward it just worked. :-) Coool. Thanks a lot for everybody.

Unfortunatelly I'm still a bit unhappy with this class, because I can learn easily during practice, but I still didn't have available Dreamweaver to use, so for me it wasn't truly useful, and deffinately not practice. For me just to sit and listen is not enough to learn something really, which is not exatly a theory but practice. However I tryed to listen carefully, because the learning stuff was built up well in a good structure and I have heard some interesting things which will be usefull afterwards, I still feel weak in this entire stuff. Sorry.
