The First Web 2.0 Work

I’ve been tinkering for a whole day, and finally, I’ve created my first web page that meets the web 2.0 standard!

This time, I used div for layout, and it’s indeed much better than using table. Whether it’s making local adjustments or overhauling the entire design, it’s much more convenient. I think I’ll have to refactor the site on Curve Chen’s end, so I can save my precious time when maintaining it in the future. For now, the only thing that doesn’t feel quite perfect is the three linked images on the intro page - my PS skills are really… I’ll fix it tomorrow morning.

div + CSS is indeed the way to go! In the past, when I used table, I’d often get to the point where the entire website’s framework was almost complete, only to have the whole table become a mess. Then, two hours of effort would go down the drain. And when I made the TV station’s website for the student union last time, even a small layout adjustment would require a huge amount of effort. But now, those frustrations are gone! Haha!

So, lovely beginners, when you’re struggling with messy tables, quickly switch to the div camp.

The only downside is that I have to write all the code myself now… Each line of code in index.htm and intro.css was typed out by me, one by one… But I’ll get used to it, and writing code myself is much better than using Dreamweaver - the code is much more precise that way.

That’s all for now. Except for those three images, if you have any feedback on index, feel free to leave a comment, and I’ll respond as soon as possible!
