Uploading HTML to a server

Posted in CSIT1110 on October 23, 2009 by njfelts

Uploading my web page to a server was a rather straight forward process. After finishing the page i was looking forward to seeing it up on the site.

On My Computer the page seemed like a good first try at HTML,  all the pictures, links, and words worked great and I felt that the time i put into the assignment really showed.

Wow, I was surely mistaken.

After I posted all my pictures and the actual html document I followed the link and realized one of my photos did not work. It was a frustrating process going around and around trying to fix the problem, everything I tried failed. With no time left to change the page I had to live with the fact that one photo would not be viewable.

The following day, while at school, I looked up my page to view it on one of their computers and was really disappointed. Not only was the one photo, that i was aware of, not viewable but all of the other photos were distorted in some form or another too. It was embarrassing and disheartening to look at after the time i put into the page.

In conclusion, not only could I not figure out why the one photo didn’t appear but I have a funky distorted web page floating around out there that i can’t explain or comprehend what happened to it.

Ah-Ha, ha, ha..  I  had fun doing the assignment regardless.

Cheers!

This has probably been one of the most fun assignments that i’ve received in college, to date! It can be frustrating at times, yet overall I have enjoyed being able to do something creative.  The perfectionist in me is definately seeping out.  I am nervous, however  not knowing if pictures and links will work properly.  They work for me on my computer and i sent the file to a friend (who has an identical computer) and so far has worked for her. I also sent it to two of my parents computers and i was told that things looked funny on one of them[colors were different and no pictures] (i have a sneaking suspicion that it’s a browser issue on that particular computer-not positive) but the pictures did not work on either of their computers?? I wasn’t there to look myself nor was i able to tinker with them.  So I am uncertain of the issue.

I would say that i’m about 75-80% done with my web page. Though, I know that I will edit until the last possible moment and still feel like there is more I could have done in the end. Though, I am enjoying this assignment I feel that I will be happy when it’s done because it consumes oodles of time and brainpower to perform the repeat process of: do, and then save, fix, and then save, edit, and then save, etc.

Cheers!
