The two tutorials
I found the two tutorials both entertaining and informative. They took a language that looked Greek to me and made it look easy (well almost, there were a few confusing points in the tutorials.) When I have a chance I would like to take the advice of the html tutorial and test it out in notepad or something. The way I understand it, CSS is there so that you don't have to keep writing the same things over again in html, correct?
Cheat Sheet
Is this an indication of things to come? Perhaps I should play around with those tutorials a bit more...

I've had some experience with CMS and I have found some of the structure rather limiting. However, after reading the background in this article, it does make sense why it is structured. It helps to create a unified system that is easy for librarians to update and users to understand. It is a simple way for all librarians to maintain a website without having to understand webpage building.
I don't have any experience with CMS so I don't know much about it. I also don't have too much experience with HTML but it seems easy enough to use, maybe time consuming, though. It seems that if CMS is simpler that it should be in use in all libraries. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica,
ReplyDeleteI am wondering if CMS could benefit librarians that are tech savy. In other words librarians that have an understanding of technology could utilize CMS to design more advanced graphics and information for users/patrons as a reference point. Even though CMS might be easier for the novice, it might also provide a greater platform for the advanced to reach the masses.
