Feels great to have completed this assignment. I was worried I wasn't going to finish in time..
I downloaded the trials of photoshop and dreamweaver. That was very helpful since I was able to work on my project at home.
Did anyone else download them?
Best of luck to everyone!

Parent Elements vs Child Elements and How They Effect Positioning
Parent elements are the elements at which contain the element you target. For example, the <html> element is the parent element of <body> element. The then, is considered the child element.
Relative positioning vs Absolute positioning are fairly important Cascading Style Sheet properties which are useful for web 2.0 developers and beyond. Early web markup often used tables to create websites. Position elements have more flexibility than table elements.
Absolute positioning sets an absolute value on the pixel-coordinates, based on the page, at which the targeted element will be rendered. You set the top, left, right, or bottom elements. It is based on the entire length of the page.
Fixed positioning sets an absolute value on the pixel-coordinates, based on the browser. The element will remain in the same spot no matter where you scroll to on the page.
Static positioning is what the browser defaults to. The element will remain static with both the browser and the page.
Relative positioning is a half-way point between absolute and fixed positioning. Relative positioning moves an element in relation to it's parent element. So If I set the relative positioning of "position: relative; top:100px, left: 100px" then the element will be moved 100px down the page, and 100px to the right. You may use negative coordinates, as it will move them in relation to the parent element.
But heed caution with "position: absolute." Don't use it for critical page elements, especially if you want your page to look the same in every monitor resolution and browser.

Naming constraints
On naming your pictures and files. I have always use the naming style of programming, because when programming you need to keep it so, not only does the computer need to read the names, but other people should be able to understand the variable and what it does. When naming something you should know what it is without opening the file, and the computer should easily be able to open it anywhere. The names should not have spaces or special characters because the computer can interpret these characters different. Never use a period (.) in the name because the computer sees this and thinks that an extension should be next. In programming, the first character is usually lower case, then the beginning of the next word is uppercase. For example, backgroundPicturePage1, this shows that the picture is used for the background and it is for the first page. Having a good naming structure makes it easier for you to quickly move throughout your projects.

CS5
On using CS5 and then later using CS4. There might be some changes to your file when you bring it over to CS4, but it should only affect it if you use newer components in CS5. There could be a setting in the preferences that will allow the earlier versions of adobe to edit your files, you just have to check it out and see.

Cough
Okay, I just reminded myself about doing the blog, but I have no clue what to right about so let's freestyle it.
Well, I had a great weekend, with the LMFAO concert! I was standing in line for 2 hours, but made it to see LMFAO in time. I didn't know half the songs being played, but when the concert turned into a semi-rave I got pretty excited. Anybody else went? ;)
Oh no! Project 1 is duo next week, I have got to get going on that. I tend to overdo my work though, so hopefully I can finish it in time. Thank God I just got Photoshop and Dreamweaver, so I can work from home.
looking back at what I typed so far, I'm starting to doubt if I can get credit for this since there is no useful information. So I found this lovely site: http://www.w3schools.com/. It's a pretty cool website that explains the coding behind html in depth with plenty of illustrations. It has helped me in my High School webdesign class. The website covers pretty much everything related to web design, so i might be useful to some.

Quick Question.
Hey guys, I have a question regarding photoshop settings. Which dimensions (height/width) and resolution must we use when opening a new blank page? On my notes I have 780x600 (resolution 72) AND 1050x750 (resolution 72), and I'm not sure which is correct. Also, does anyone know whether using the photoshop CS5 trial allow for the file to open on CS4?
Thanks
