New Directions on the Website Front

I'm enjoying my own new learning directions the past few months as well... I've learned a ton about programming by creating several websites.

My parents' ranch for sale in British Columbia, Canada (website to be updated to a "new and improved" version by January 10, 2009). Though I started out with the site-designer that was available through the web host, the new and improved version is being by me on Dreamweaver:

My first project created on Dreamweaver for someone else (non-family) -- a friend whose homeschool testing business in Wake County, NC offers a great support for local homeschoolers:

My biggest and most intense learning project was to figure out how all this worked so I could teach a group of middleschoolers how to create their own website for FIRST LEGO League. Nothing like teaching to make one learn things under great time pressure!

And, the very quick website I put together for the local homeschool Science Fair... It definitely showed me how much I've learned since August!!! Took very little time once I found a template.

I'm quite amazed by the amount I've learned -- though it only takes a few things falling apart for me to realize that I'm in an overconfident bubble right now and it doesn't take much to send me back to help menu's and google searches!!!

Hoping to take a couple online Web Design classes through Wake Tech this spring to fill in a few holes.
