Week 9: Wordpress

For this week (5-26-15), we had a guest speaker teach us about Wordpress.  Even though I was sick and could not attend this class, when I came to class this week (6-2-15) I still got to experience what it is like to create a website through Wordpress, and that is how I created my final website. Overall, the site is extremely user-friendly, and I would definitely use it again to create another website.  I really like how it turned out and I would recommend it to anyone that wants to quickly create a website.  The only problem that I encountered was with creating a home page and not being able to delete the original home page.  Other than that, it was a breeze.

Week 8: DreamWeaver

Today we worked with DreamWeaver to build a website. This was not easy at all. In fact, I thought it was extremely difficult to grasp just because of the coding aspect of it.  Playing with Hour of Code beforehand didn't really help at all. Even though Hour of Code was fun, it still got to be a little bit frustrating towards the end. Overall, I would not choose to use DreamWeaver to build my own website.  I think that I would go with something a little easier that will take less time.  I did find the experience enlightening, but it was not my favorite thing that we've done.
