After finishing those crazy movies it is time to move on to more craziness, Websites! I have once done a website many many years ago in what was the most novel method at the time. Notepad and your imagination. Needless to say, trying to create really awesome sites using tags was extremely difficult. The time spent on doing such simple and trivial things is astonishing.
Fast forward six years and it appears that I am face to face with the beast once again. Thankfully the world has modernized a bit and the likes of front page, word, and my favourite little coding program Textpad has been developed. Using these and other online editors easy html pages can be created.
Of course creating a site is only part of the equation, the other part is creating a website that is actually useful AND functional. This is where other ideas come in. A favourite site of mine, done by a Mr. Ratcliffe illustrates how a classroom site can be used. It uses Google docs but does illustrate some ideas that we can use in our own websites. Unfortunately it hides many features to the user so truly customizing it is particularly difficult. By the time we are done with this area, I think we should be more than proficient in the world of web authoring sites.
