Blog
Now that youve worked so hard to understand CSS and HTML with Dreamweaver, does your future involve a hand-built website or would your life be made easier by having a blog? Here are a few leading free blog sites:
- http://www.blogger.com/home If you have a Gmail or iGoogle account then you are already signed up. (same as blogspot)
- http://wordpress.com/ Free/hosted version of the popular Open Source app.
- http://www.typepad.com/
Embed Stuff
There are many many online tools, widgets, and applications that you can add to a website. Beware of being seduced by the technology- make sure that there is a REASON for the tool. A site full of many many widgets and animating things can be overwhelming for a user. Cant help yourself? Create an “experiments” page where you can play with new toys and decide how to use them meaningfully.
