It all started months ago when myself and a friend and colleague, we shall call her Fi (that's her name), decided to set up our own business. What do we need? Business cards, logo, product (we are teachers so the product is us - handy).... website.
Hmmm... well being "good at IT" and having the reputation of "a bit of a geek" - the website fell to me. Now, I am somewhat good at IT, but let's remember, it's a big field. David Beckham is "good at sport" but he probably couldn't do a triple salchow to add that special 'impress' to a Bolero routine. In the same way that a footballer would have trouble ice skating, a whiz at using the Office Suite might not be your first choice as a web developer.
What a learning curve! I think I have discovered the main laws of web development though;
point, shoot, miss,
point, shoot, miss,
point , shoot, HIT!
(Oh and that a back up is always a good idea)
My essential equipment for development have been, firefox, firebug, a large bottle of gin, a colour picker, and a 'what's the worst that can happen?' outlook (best not to go too far down that road though).
So now we have a website! Hallelujah! Here it is: www.target-english.co.uk
I am Bill Gates.
P.S. If anyone can tell me why the logo doesn't print out and how to fix it, I shall send them the rest of the gin bottle. And give them a big TWEET OUT! :)
The logo does not print as you're using CSS to display it as a background to an anchor tag with the id "logo". Browsers generally ignore all background images and substitute them with white space when rendering the page for print to conserve ink and improve legibility on paper. You can resolve this easily by displaying your logo in the same manner you are displaying the forum image 'forum.png' i.e. by using the <img> tag. I'll send you my address later so you can send the gin. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou, Vanjos72, are a prince among men (or women). Gin on its way (it's nearly empty), but the tweet out will be FULL (of praise).
