Website

Over the last 5 or 6 weeks I've been putting together my Online Portfolio which for me has been a struggle. I built the site mainly in Flash with Action Script 2.0 which was pretty good going considering other people on the course built theirs entirely on Dreamweaver and it sounded incredibly painful! On the whole I enjoyed the freedom of designing your own site and thinking how to reflect your personality and style but as for the construction of the site.... well that's another thing. It seemed pretty plain sailing until I encountered numerous problems with the Action script. Then when I thought I was near to taking it into Dreamweaver the Flash file had magically deleted itself, leading me to re-build the whole thing! Thankfully it wasn't too stressful to put back together again. The background of my site had a grid which I wanted to repeat throughout the browser on Dreamweaver which caused problems when lining up around Flash site. So I decided to alter the site slightly and create a new background that would fit with the background in all browsers. I have decided to buy my own domain name which should have my site up and running in the near future.
