How I have managed to get this far is beyond me this week. Getting a web page up is not as easy as it all seems. I thought learning how to use the program mIRC for accessing our chat room for class discussion was a learning curve. Let me tell you uploading a web page was definetly my top learning curve of the month.
Have you ever read something over and over again making sure everything is correct only to have someone come up to you and say "You got that wrong". I had spent 3 days trying to get it to work and all it was, was a simple little number one. So what have I learn't this week. How to upload my page using the ws_ftp program
Do I hear a roar of thunderous clapping........... Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Whilst doing the Quiz I also learn't how to WRITE THE HTML ON A WEB PAGE so that it can be read by you the reader of this page. The copyright symbol is also a part of that creation as I will show now. (©)
See the space before I type this sentence. That is another part of the lesson and one which had me stumped. I couldn't work out, how to get the amount of spaces that I wished. All was revealed in the classroom on Sunday afternoon (my time). Hence this extra typing to show that I did listen and now I can do a non-breaking space .
So here ends Lesson 3 which will give me a chance to go and enjoy, the many events that are taking place at the moment. With our own Geelong Show, Geelong Cup Carnival (horse racing), Poppy Kettle Festival (for the children) the Geelong Garden Club Spring Show and the International Seafood Fair, it sure is jam packed full of fun. Lots to see and do around this time of the year. Beautiful Spring weather calling you outside. Not the right time for sitting in front of a computer.. Can't wait to get a hold of them graphics to go on a page though.. Hummmmm it must be coming up soon. :o)
