Click here to view the website that I created using //Kompozer// and my //GoDaddy// domain. This page includes a Profile, __Resume__, and Professional/Personal Interests.

=Reflection: = For this assignment, I created a website using //Kompozer// and my //GoDaddy// domain. Both the directions and process that I followed were much more simple and straight-forward than the Flash Two assignment. This may be because I had created a website using a similar procedure last semester in ED ET 603 and this semester with my first course assignments page. It was a huge relief to be able to __complete__ this assignment with little to no difficulties. However, I did encounter a few problems while building my website, but nothing extremely complicated. I think that I still need to explore //Kompozer// (extensively) which will __help__ with any problems in the future. One difficulty that I experienced was when I attempted to copy and paste information from a Word document (e.g. in the __resume__ section). //Kompozer// inserted a lot of symbols into the information which caused me to re-type several parts in order for the information to appear the way that I wanted. I am extremely particular about the consistency of the pages within the website, including the layout, font, and font color. I believe that the viewer should know what to expect from one page to the next. Another problem that I encountered was with the template that I chose to use for my website. Initially, I searched many websites for an appealing CSS Template and decided on one with a sunset to present my information. Unfortunately, the sunset did not appear on the website that I published, and I couldn’t establish why this happened. The last difficulty that I experienced was related to the website name provided in the URL. Needless to say, I have not determined how to change the URL name (e.g. index.html) and I also don’t understand how to organize my websites into different directories on my //GoDaddy// domain. As stated above, I have created three websites (including this one) on my domain, but I just continue to replace each one as I am assigned these tasks. In the future, I aspire to become more familiar with the features in //Kompozer// so that these problems don’t occur again. I think with a bit more exploration and __online__ __assistance__ that I will be able to develop more solid and appealing websites. Overall, I enjoyed this assignment and think it will be beneficial as I continue to search for an elementary teaching position over the next school year.
