Its' done. It's done. It's done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've gotten some pretty useful information out of Beta testing. Even opening up my project in Internet Explorer on a smaller screen revealed a set of (minor) problems to render. The following is s list of everything that I changed on the project (copy and pasted from my post-mortem Beat report):

  • italicize the picture captions

  • upload additional pictures found in family photo album over Thanksgiving break

  • downsize spread-out pictures (groups of three) so they fit three across on smaller browser (mine is 17 inches)

  • use the “target=" blank"” command for links to pages not created by me

  • reformat pages to correctly display in alternatives browsers (again, this is an issue because I designed the whole thing through Firefox on my 17 in screened laptop)

  • add the missing > to the end of the picture tags, which will correct the paragraph/font issue

The formatting issue were unknown to me because I have such a wide screened laptop. However, when viewing my pages on the school computer on IE, the format was all screwy. Pictures were squashed into totem pole formations when they should have been even row of three and words overlapped each other (as well as went off-screen). I reformatted the pages to display correctly in IE (this had no different in the Firefox version).

I added the "target="blank"" command so that the pages not created by me were displayed in an additional window (I didn't want the user to get taken away from my project). In addition, I also italicized the picture captions (they had blended into the regular text before italicization).

Anyway, here it is, and I welcome any additional suggestions. Currently, I have no plans to change anything else, but I'm open to new ideas.
