ENTRY #8 week 9: Cyber Duck Versus Localhost , A messy folder Versus Neat one , and an Idea

this week we start to put our website online !!

every person in this class get a space in cdu's scah's server where can be access online (read only) by accessing www.scah.cdu.edu.au/2011.
but to access the server and put our blog into server we can use cyberduck



cyber duck itself not a server. it's just an application that client to connect to a server (in this case scah) . we're lucky since we're student a this class, we got a space in scah server so we can hosting our website for free.
yet, hosting our website offline before posting it always becoming a good idea. to make a local server in my own computer i think localhost will always become my bestfriend <3

again. in this week we learn to make a web template and how manage a website in dream weaver. basically this is what i do with dream weaver.
another website, this one already use template and and table

i struggle a lot to make the table in the center so it'll be suitable for every browser.
and it's also a good idea to make our website in one organize folder. so we will not struggle a lot to change or the link when the website get more complicated. believe me,, *based on true experience :P*

another idea for my final project:
i think i would like to use drop down menu in my website but turn out it's too complicated to make a drop down menu by your own design. so maybe a nice horizontal navigation bar wouldn't hard :)

ENTRY #7 week 8: World Wide Web , HTML, and our first website assignment

as said in the previous lecture. we are going to make our own website for an e-portofolio.
but what is website ?

website which is one of the most popular application in the internet world.do not believe me? then please think back. aren’t we open a website at least once a day. So if you what to know how was this stuff actually born in our world

website was actually found in march 1989 (i can’t imagine same year as me ) by Berners-Lee, an oxford graduated. he applied a proposal called”HyperText and CERN” which consist his planning to make a system which can share many information between psychic researches.

After all website already gives big effect to human civilization. below are a few from thouzands big event in the web development until now:

1. Domain.. domain.. and domain : in 1983. Remembering 12 digit of number = NO MORE!
2. 1990 , www is found ! by Berners-Lee team
3. Yahoo : found by jerry and david in february 1994
4. Auction in internet : e-bay first auction in 1995
5. Online ensiklopedia : wikipedia first launch in january 2001
6. Hidden cam : jenni cam first launch in 1996
7. Social networking attack : first social networking (friendster) become phenomene
8. Google : when page meet larry = sucsses searching engine was found 1998

to make a website we can use some language like HTML, CSS, PHP, Java Script etc.
but since we're only required to make a basic website (not a dynamic website). for the assignment and project we were suggested to use HTML.

for assignment we required to make an HTML page without any application with graphical user interface which mean we need to make a basic website page with raw text.
well, no one really remember all HTML tags.. so i got a lot of help for this w3school

and this is my first assignment looks like.

basically i just change the background, cange font and put some colour, put image and put link.
a very simple stuff that you can do with only notepad.
yet it's already a website page :D

amazing, right?

ENTRY #6 week 7: New Lecture , Technology, and Art :D

Welcome to a new start!!

after we finished we with the video editing last week, we finally move on to another project,
which combines technology and art.. of course it's a website :D

i didn't say that the previous project (video editing) isn't a combination of art and technology.. I mean how can you edit a video without a computer (well in this case apple ,, VIVA Steve jobs !) yet i think website is more technical since it's involved programming language and stuff ( well, even we will use dream weaver which allowed us to edit HTML in graphical user interface)

but basically we playing with a programming language , aren't we ?

this week, we have a new lecture and new stuff which it's means another introduction..
it's reminds me i haven't make an introduction in this blog. well, a little bit introduction about me before we talk more about technical stuff wouldn't hurt,right ?

my name is mega oktafiani putri. an very ordinary college girl who struggle her self in such unhumanity world (or to be more specific let’s call it college ROFl~). born in 16 october 1989 with a mistype birth certificate that make my birthday move to 11 october (no wonder i do mistype alot.. see? even my birth certificate is mistype. I wonder if my death certificate will be mistype too ). I am really into technology (computer , game , gadget, etc) and art (photography, graphic design, photo editing, animation etc).. which i always think that those two are inseparable... in spite of my bad drawing and no talent things, i really love that those stuff..

okay enough for me,
this week we start to talk and think about our website which is a e-portfolio website.
i feel so stupid because i left most of my creation in my hard drive back in my country.
maybe it's one of advantages of an e-portfolio , it's a dynamic storage. you can access it from anywhere whenever you need it.

Luckily i have my own e-portfolio blog before, but as you can see i never update it again since 2009. it's 2 years ago.
well, at least i'll have something to post in my website later.

maybe it's just reminder for myself to really organize my creation and post it online.
it'll be useful someday.
