Brett's Introduction

I've been going to SNC for about 2 1/2 years. This is my senior semester so I'm pretty stoked to be almost done with college, until grad school.....maybe. I grew up in Virginia Beach, VA and first attended college at Utah State. I have an upcoming BFA show late Feburary, and it's an interactive show so stay tuned.

I enjoy creating all types of art from abstract and impressionist painting to digital art and video. Last spring I created my company "Bring Ya Lunch".

Bring Ya Lunch is an apparel and artistic brand/company, which is dedicated to showcasing my art and the ideology of the brand. It's all about living your life to the fullest. The website, facebook, and instagram showcases my artistic work, apparel and links to other artists' websites and/or emails.

 

Introduction: Kyle Huddy

Hello class, I am a 29 year old small business owner in the Reno/Tahoe area. I have spent most of my adult life working in hotels, doing sales and marketing. For almost 5 years now, I have also been married to the most beautiful and intelligent woman that brings joy into my life.

Growing up I always dreamed of being a Major League baseball player and in that pursuit received a baseball scholarship  from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles where I received my Bachelors in Business and then spent 2 years playing Minor League Baseball for the Cincinnati Reds.

Currently, I am taking this web design class in order to build a top quality web page for my business (www.allnaturalnv.com). Feel free to look at how bad it is right now, so you can see the vast improvement towards the end of the semester:-)

Jenn's introduction

Hello, I'm Jenn. I like skiing, loud music and oysters on the half shell. When I was a kid, I swallowed one of my teeth because I thought it was the "crunchy" part of my "crunchy peanut butter" sandwich. The tooth fairy took pity on me a left me $1 anyway. I didn't eat crunchy peanut butter again until I was an adult. Here is a picture of my dog with his brother. I think it's the only time they've ever been tired.

I often frequent facebook, youtube and my email account, but I'd rather show you this article. It's blown my mind as far as what can be done in the realm of multimedia journalism. My blog can be found at nosnowsnakes.wordpress.com

Resources for 1/28 class

HTML - basic definitions.

A guide on how to write html using TextEdit (taken from about.com):



If you use a Macintosh, you don't need to buy or download an editor to write HTML. You have a perfectly functional editor built into your operating system -- TextEdit.

For many people this is all the HTML editor they will ever need.

There are only a few steps to creating a Web page with TextEdit:

Open TextEdit
Open a Finder window
Switch to the Applications folder
Scroll down to TextEdit and double-click on it


Change the format to plain text
TextEdit defaults to a rich text format, so you need to switch it to plain text to write HTML
Open the Format tab
Choose "Make Plain Text"
You can also hit Shift-Apple-T to switch to plain text


Start writing your HTML
Remember that you need to be more careful than in an actual HTML editor. You won't have elements like tag completion and validation.

Save your HTML to a file
This is the tricky part. TextEdit normally saves files as .txt. But since you're writing HTML, you need to save the file as .html.
Go to the File menu
Choose Save As... (or Shift-Apple-S)
Change the file extension from .txt to .html
A popup will ask you if you want to append the extension ".txt" to the end. Choose "Don't Append"

Opening an html file in TextEdit(from www.askdavetaylor.com):

Go to TextEdit --> Preferences... and choose "Open and Save". You'll see:

The key is the first option under "When opening a file": you want to check Ignore rich text commands in HTML files. Check that option, then quit TextEdit.

It turns out you can also do this by manually selecting File --> Open..., choosing the file, and also selecting the option in the Open dialog window of "Ignore rich text commands", but since i'm always double-clicking on files or otherwise launching TextEdit, it's a much easier solution to simply fix the preferences and never worry about it again.
