Update on my Web Design Course

I have just built myself a new website which you can see at http://www.richardmoloney.com and if you like what you see I am offering to build a website for 5 of Alex Jeffreys students free of charge.  You will have to supply your own domain and hosting along with details of what you want on the site.

If you would like to be one of the 5 to get a website built for you then let me know.

I, as you will know if you have been reading earlier posts here, am currently doing a web design course and have just completed the second part of the course.

Part 1 covered IT principles and was a little boring as there was very little in it that I didn’t know already.  It covered setting up a new computer, basic maintenance, how to replace memory safely in both a PC and a laptop and also covered health and safety when working with a computer.  I gained a distinction in the assessment for this section.

Part 2 was on building a website from scratch using Dreamweaver and this is the way I built my site.  I did not have a clue about html etc before starting this section but I can now set up templates, style sheets, buttons, product pages etc etc etc.  I expect to get a distinction for this assessment as well.

I start the part 3 tomorrow and it covers Powerpoint presentations so I expect to be able to make videos using Powerpoint in a couple of weeks.  This is another section for which I have zero knowledge at present.

I managed to get a copy of Butterfly Marketing when it went live today at 12.00pm EST.  Not quite true as there were about 3,000 people on line when it went live and the server crashed so that the majority didn’t get through.  I tried again a couple of hours later and managed to get through and sign up for my copy.

Mike Filsaime gave a guarantee that all those who were on the early bird list and didn’t get in due to the server crash would get a copy even if it meant him having to get more copies prepared instead of the 5,000 that it was originally restricted to.  The number of people Tweeting about the launch problems caused Twitter to crash as well.

Visit my new website and if you would like a website built for yourself leave me your comments below and the I will be in touch with the first 5 of Alex Jeffreys students to sort out their free website for them.
