Delta Blog 2

Hi,

Since handing in the KISS assignment I have been able to concentrate a lot more on the CiSSy assignment. There is still a fair bit to do on it though, after the three BBC pages have been created. There is an essay on 'The likely effect of CSS Level 3 on the user experience, and its impact on future website design practice'. After doing a bit of research this afternoon into CSS3 it looks like the impact on future website design practise could be rather large as there seems to be a lot of new things involved in it, certainly in improvements over CSS 2.1.

With regards to the three BBC web pages I am currently in the process of putting together, I feel a lot more comfortable using CSS now and create a simple layout fairly fast. And due to my repeated use of CSS as of late it is becoming a lot more natural. I can look at my design now and pretty much know how I will be putting it together with CSS.

One specific thing I need to look at though with CSS is my 'Div-itus', which is excessive use of divs when I should ideally be using a class. I will have to look back at the BBC pages I have already created and see how I can improve upon this.

For the six month learning plan I am struggling to find time to fit it in as the workload for the other assignments seems to be taking up all my time. This is one area of my time planning I need to improve on as the six month learning plan (more of a three month learning plan now) needs to be completed.

I received feedback on my KISS assignment detailing what I need to do to gain the elusive merit grade. They are only minor things so I shouldn't have any problem getting them completed.

Thanks for reading,
