What I wanted was a single big cell at the right hand side and then 3 smaller cells towards the left hand side. What I got was a single big cell in the middle, 2 cells on the left hand side and 1 single cell attached to the other side. All was not lost and by 4pm I had it sorted with the rest of the navigation sorted.
The cells had been given sizes to suit the template. This has made the layout the correct size but the screen does not resize the page as it is measured in actual pixels. To change this I will need to put them into percentages so that the design does resize giving it a liquid design opposed to a fixed layout.
Apart from these little mishaps I am really enjoying this assignment as this will be my first website on the internet.
Thursday turned out to be only half a day with the rest of it being self study. Still slightly nervous about the presentation but the research is nearly finished and ideas into the presentation style have been started. We had a lecture on Newspaper layouts and this has given us a clue, I think, to our first assignment task. I'm actually looking forward to this 'task bombing' now as I feel it will be very helpful when we expand to the real world and our clients decide they want things before they are scheduled to be completed. The nerves are gone from this part and I feel i'm ready for anything.

I am also enjoying this assignment. This is the first website I have created and although it looks rather revolting, I do feel that I am benefiting from all the experience. Rather sooner than later.
I recommend the tutorials in Dreamweaver. I have yet to try out these tutorials but I do hope they are worth the time.
If you would have been at The Design Mechanics with us on Thursday Chris, you would have seen that "Task Bombing" is basically their skill. They do everything in such ridiculously short times spans that it just shows you how far we've got to go yet.
They build websites in half a day.
God half a day? Guess it's a real world thing then I am looking forward to the first "deployment" though should be fun.
