Another week, another chapter—squeezed in between area design lectures/programs, photography exhibits, family things, and of course our print design work. We both have busy lives, and we both agreed that our commitment to do this together is what’s keeping us on schedule. That, and we were able to have our vid chat before The Oscars last night. Whew.
I suppose it’s on par with knowing the difference between font, typeface, type style, and type family, but we’re having trouble keeping track of the new terminology. Tags, content, elements, attributes… I guess it’ll come with practice. Jim already uses the href attribute in Flickr. It’s all new to me since WordPress has a button to press to make something a clickable link.
The crossword puzzle at the end of each chapter is quirky. It’s not very complex in its structure, and the clues are sometimes a stretch. Jim said he cheats if he doesn’t know the answer. I go back and look through the chapter to see if I can’t figure it out before resorting to peaking at the answers. So for me, it’s a good way to review the lessons.
The coolest thing is that on the way home from church yesterday morning, my 13-year-old stepson saw the book in my purse and wanted to borrow it. I said it was a workbook and we’d buy him his own if he wanted to learn web design. Did he? “Yes.”
