School Daze

Another week of school over, having a great time with it, but geeez there is a lot of homework. Spent 6 hours last night finishing a 12 page assignment on the elements and principals of design. It was a very challenging assignment as there were 8 different things for elements as ell as another 8 for design that I had to write up descriptions of, usage of and provide visual examples of them all. If that wasn't enough there were also another 9 detailed questions regarding the elements and design principals.

Anyway, I got it all done and I was pleased with the end result. Evn the tutor said it had the best content and layout of all the assignments, which does not surprise me since I did the layout using the principals I was researching.

On another note, I have finally decided on the colour scheme and base layout for a site I am working on for a glass artist. Should be really good when it is finished. I just need to get some more content from the client and it will be all systems go with that one.

We have a long weekend coming up here, so I will continue to make some inroads into a couple of site designs I have going and get ahead on another assignment I was given today.

Update on new site

Arrrrrrggggggggggggggg, Wordpress drives me up the wall. I mean, how can everything look great on internet explorer and horrible on Firefox. It's all coming from the same CSS..... Frustration PLUS!

I am getting there however, have done my first draft pages for the home page, the how to use the site page and the about me page. Getting some friends to check them out and provide some constructive critique on them.

Now to do the hard work part and put the products up on the site!

It's Friday! Yay!

Well, it's Friday today and that means YAY!

• Not because it is the end of the working week.... I am not working.
  
• Not because it is the weekend.... Got no money to do anything.
  
• Not because it is time for the pub.... Hmmmm, don't drink alcohol.
  

No, it is YAY! it's Friday, because today my wife got accepted to do the course she has been wanting to do since childhood. It was a long road to get to here for her, but she did it and I am the proudest husband in the world.

That besides the point, we have been out and about all day, with organising (My language is English based, not American, therefore I spell things with an S not a Z) everything for her, but I have not neglected my own journey here.

Today I....

• Made a new Squidoo Lens: http://best.weightloss-site.ever.com.
• Tested the Lens with Stumble Upon: 52 hits in 30 mins.
• Came up with an idea for a money-less challenge contender.

So all is not lost in my aspirations for the day :)
