I’ve gotten the elements back in position as well as the content part working with further adjusting to the css file; it took time for me to learn what to target and how to label it. So now it’s add the other details for to make the website next to complete such as an image for the shop button and another ad and some more detailed content which I get to later. I also need to a privacy and copyright section under the tag cloud separate from the pink box.
When I did add in the Tag Cloud and justified it, it threw sidebar 2 out of whack and the content.
As opposed to using ‘float’ to position my 3 sections I used ‘position’ absolute and relative to allow them to sit nicely into place with a little adjusting with margins and padding. Although at this stage I had not managed to fix the content box where I would include the blog and gallery etc it’s was due to not being to target that division properly. I also had not implemented the tag cloud, which I learned how to make by viewing the page source of amelia’s magazine’s website and the drop down menu in the navigation which I was helped through HTML Dog’s website.
Things I did take from the original website was the use of illustrations for the background and including the tag cloud.
There are other basics elements that I thought was essential such as a ‘search’ and ‘sign-up newsletter’ form, ‘comments’ form etc
A diary of designing and coding my first website, that is, a redesign of Amelia's Magazine's min-website; drawn from a competitive analysis of related websites, my site architecture and wire-frames and general inspirations.
