In class: final thoughts

The most beneficial assignment for me was an in-class assignment before module four where we had to create three different pages using the same (X)HTML and create three different style sheets.

I created these:

• Sample One
• Sample Two
• Sample Three

The assignment allowed me to research explore different selectors and properties in CSS, and see the resultant effects of each line of code. I didn't know anything about CSS before this class,
and this mini-assignment really helped me learn quickly how to use style sheets and how effective CSS can be.

The purpose of a web author is to create and maintain a site that effectively conveys the content, message, and sentiment that the client wants the site to convey. I would say that the duties of a web author include:

• Branding
• Graphic creation
• Marketing
• Timely updates
• Making sure that the website is entirely functional at all times, in all [most ;)] browsers [curse you, backwards compatibility!]
• Coding
• Proof-reading content (including images, layout, and text)
