Claudia's Assignments for Creating Web Pages II

I have been dabbling in web site creation for several years. Anything I designed was very elemental and if I needed something nice, I would have to search for a template. I enrolled in the first Creating Web Pages class with ed2go and was quickly disappointed in that it taught things I already knew. But the kicker was……………I began to understand the logic behind each step. So I can not, under any circumstance, say the first class was useless because I “graduated“ with a great feeling of accomplishment. The next step was Creating Web Pages II. This class has helped me tremendously in every area of web design. After the first lesson, I decided to go ahead and sign up for Intro AND Intermediate CSS and HTML. Such as the challenges from this class……………I am looking forward to new challenges from future ed2go classes. Thanks Craig, teaching assistants, and last but not least……………my fellow classmates. Thanks for all the instruction and help from day one.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
