W Pre-load graphics:


On one of the first page of your site, put a lengthy piece of text so that the reader will stay on that site for a while. On that same page, place a larger graphic file that you

want to appear on another page quickly. Next, highlight the image and go into source mode. Find the source code that is highlighted and look for . Right after that there will be this: width=”##” height=”##”. Change whatever number is in each of these sections to 1 so that it looks like this: width=”1″ height=”1″. The image is now only 1 pixel wide by 1 pixel high. It will show up as a little dot on the screen that hardly anybody will be able to notice. While the reader is looking at that page, the miniature graphic will load, and put it into the computers’ cache. Then when you go to the page, which has the full sized graphic, it will load really quickly.


What is your alignment strategy for this site?


The alignment is mainly left aligned with indents on either side so that it looks almost centered.


What is your repetition strategy for the site?


The left frame never changes, and the headlines in the right frame are always in the same position.


Where should the focal point be on each page? Is that the best place?


Home: On the picture of Norm and Bunnie in the top/center of the page.


Bio: On the large portion of text in the middle of the page.


Resume: On the part that shows the name, e-mail address, and the phone number.


Links: On all of the picture links for each site.


Samples: on the quick-time movie in the center of the page.


Did you fulfill your site completion goals?


Yes I did. I asked Norm if the site was up to par, and he said that it was good.
