I found browser trend chart informative, despite that it’s from 2004 and 2005, the growing trend towards IE could be guessed for following years. But we still can’t create pages just for IE(or can, that’s personal choice), there are the other browsers and that’s why I would defenitely use layout based on percentage of screen real estate.

It’s really hard to work with “restricted” availability of web-safe fonts. I think fonts can express a lot, as how the site should “feel” to the visitor..the same way like colors, layouts. I hope this will change soon, so we can be creative not just with colors, but also fonts.

That’s were  those 40 colors went..by eliminating them from palette, it can be used for both platforms.  

It’s good that palette is built in design developing/editing softwares, so it can be easy to use for designing web pages.

It was nice to find out that Fireworks has similar interface and tools as photoshop, and using photoshop in previous semester made me comfortable working through first chapter.

I personally liked viewing Win/Mac gamma.. If photoshop has that option, I never used it..

Problem: did two folders with website files (one was about Ass02 and other we created in the class for Ass03)in one root folder CAT274

It looked easy once we started to do it in the class, but when I switched computers to finish and FTP, the other comp remembered my previous website folder(Ass02) under root folder CAT274! The program was “confused”, couldn’t put files on the remote site. Then I switched computers and navigated to that one website folder, and it seems to work..

So, do we supposed to do all pages throughout this class in that one “website” folder which is in the root folder CAT274?
