Templates & the Inauguration

Web development class has been focused on creating HTML templates in Dreamweaver. There are four key benefits to be realized by using HTML templates:

• If changes are made to a template, all pages based upon this template are automatically updated.
• Only allow certain portions of the document to be editable (prevents serious mistakes).
• Maintains consistency in the amongst pages in a Web site.
• Fast and efficient way to create a Web page.

While working on the creation of templates, our attention turned to the inauguration of the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama. While many of the epic moments had wound down by the afternooon, we were able to watch a good portion of the events. See President Obama’s Inauguration (swearing in and speech) part 1, part 2, and  part 3 .

Today’s Objectives:

• Demonstrate the ability to create templates
• Demonstrate the ability to create tables for placing elements on a web page
