I've been taking a few web design classes

I'm really excited! Just got back from 2 days of Dreamweaver Classes with New Horizons Learning Center in Louisiville. The instructor Mike Eagan was a super nice guy and did his best to keep this old dog up to speed without holding the young'ens back too much.

I love to learn but I have to tell you. Web design is not intuitive to older folks, well at least me! I think the best thing for people wanting to do web design it's easier if they haven't had the ease of laying things out in print design format 1st. The laying out of elements is much more difficult on the web since the coding needs to be reasonably standard for all pages to open properly in the different browser being used. Enough of this drivel.

Just thought I'd share the excitement of learning new and exciting things and trying to keep in touch with a generation that is bombarded with stimuli constantly. The young man next to me in class was answering his e-mail, texting, browsing the web and doing the class work. While Mr. Genius himself (me) could barely keep up with the class.

Check out a few of the sites I've been creating, modifying and working with.

www.x-tremeimaging.com this is the site Jessica Vogel and I have for our Workshop and Digital Tools Co.

www.huntsmanphotography.com of course this is my site.

www.dbwstudio.net this is a site I created for Deborah Westerfield an artist friend of mine.

Happy Holidays to all of you.
