Web Editors
Web Editors
What is a web editor? If you think about it, web means website and editor is something that fixes grammar /spelling. So it's a program that fixes, and changes words on your html for the better. The relationship that web editor and html have is that they go hand in hand in the process of creating a website. People rely on web editor a lot to create there websites efficiently. Dreamweaver also help people out during the time when creating a website, but what exactly does it do? Dreamweaver is a feature available on Macs and Windows operating systems. It allows users to preview websites in locally installed web browsers. Three important features of Dreamweaver are that:
- Dreamweaver allows users to preview websites in locally installed web browsers.
- It provides transfer and synchronization features, the ability to find and replace lines of text or code by search terms and regular expressions across the entire site.
- And a templating feature that allows single-source update of shared code and layout across entire sites without server-side includes or scripting.
Two other good web- editors are
1. Microsoft Expression Web (code-named Quartz), and is an HTML editor and general web design software product by Microsoft. Microsoft Expression Web provides the ability to install add-ons from third-party developers, extending its capabilities.
2. SeaMonkey is also a good web- editor if you’re new to web designing, although it isn’t the best choice if you are experienced with design. SeaMonkey is a WYSIWYG and text editor for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux/UNIX best suited to Newcomers to Web Design. It costs $0.00.
There are many differences between a web-site and a web-page, the main difference being the fact that
A web page is an individual document primarily written in HyperText Markup Language (HTML), a
computer code language that a browser can interpret and translate into text and images. Web page
interpretation can vary between browser versions and settings.

Digital Portfolio- Research
The 3 most important features on a digital portfolio are:
1) PICTURES- You're digital portfolio should have pictures as evidence of your work
2) BLOG ENTRIES- You must write a blog or small description to explain the picture of your work
3) HYPERLINKS- To show people websites you're interested in/ important sites that link to what you post
One advantage to having a digital portfolio, is letting followers know your learning achievements, and doesn't use paper, although some disadvantages to it are that you have to constantly update it with your new work, and is time consuming. You can’t bring a disc, memory card, or web address to an interview and expect to be able to present your portfolio on whatever computer they have available.
Here is Daniel Russo's Portfolio on Surfing: http://www.surfingmagazine.com/surfing-photo-video/surfing-photo-dept/surfing-portfolio-series-daniel-russo/index.html
In it, he talks about his magazine, and there are photos as well to show his work. I love the design he chose because it's simple, yet you can tell it reflects his personality, and it's easy to read. One not so good thing is that he only shows one picture on his front page, but maybe he could show a few more to capture the readers attention more easily. It's organized nicely though because it's not like, filled with loads of pictures and there's a good amount of information in the text on the home page.
Another digital portfolio I like is Helena Meijer's Portfolio On Soccer: http://soccerportfolio.com/
In it, she includes games she's played, and ways to contact her. I like it a lot because she shows very clearly what the website will be about with her soccer-themed back drop. One bad thing about it though is that the colors kind of clash. They don't look very attractive together, and doesn't capture the readers attention. I think it's organized okay because all her links are easy to access and it's simple
The last digital portfolio I will reflect on will be Teresa Noreen's Portfolio On Modeling/ Acting: http://www.tnoreen.com/
In her portfolio, she includes pictures of her modeling, and also events that she has done. This one I don't like very much because I don't like the way that she presented it. All it is is a big blown up picture of herself on the home page, and it doesn't reflect her as an actress, only a model. Also it only has two links: "Modeling Portfolio", and "Acting Portfolio". Even though I don't like it very much, I have to admit that she did a very nice job in organizing all of her information.
