Lecture
This weeks lecture Daniel continued to talk about the use of text. He firstly talked about the different text styles. We looked at weights, widths, typeface and different strokes. Daniel went into these different styles in depth and gave examples.

He then told us that we should look our layout when creating text.He discussed some valuable points we must consider when typing text.

- Computer Screen is small
- Too much left is unpleasant
- Put text into scrolling field
- Break text into fields

Danial then told us that different types of text can actually give a completely new meaning.

Text is important in the computer world. As this is the main way a computer informs the user. If the text was not able to read then user may produce errors when inputting key data.

Tutorial

In the tutorial today we looked a creating are on website using CSS templates. These templates we found on the web. We then add these templates into dream weaver. We then followed a sheet which explained what we had to do in today's lecture. We made alteration to the template using some basic html coding.

We added the title and changed the colour and made other small adjustments. Unfortunately i did not have to time to finish the sheet.

I will finish the sheet in my own spare time.

Personnel Reflection

Using templates as a guide gave me a much better understanding on creating a website. The template gave me valuable information when starting a new website. I realised that producing a website of a high standard would take time and patience.
