One step at a time.
I have decided to take my web design "One step at a time" and that means that I am not going to beat myself up over not doing anything for a day or so with web design. I have been learning to mess with this blog and tweak with the template and I think that is ok for now. I also have installed Dreamweaver 8 on my Ubuntu linux system via WINE "Wine is not an Emulator". What this means is that I can run Windows applications in my Linux system environment. If you would like more info about WINE you can visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_(software) or http://www.winehq.org/ to get an idea of what it's about. I learned how to code web pages using notepad, then I learned to use Dreamweaver UD4. Using Dreamweaver really lets you take web design to a new level. You can code in a code only mode, or use the design mode and just build a web site by using the WYSIWYG (What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get) mode kind of like the blogger interface or use both together which is what I like to do. Anyway now that I have this installed on my linux system I can really get more done because I use linux for my main Operating system and now I can just stay in linux and not have to "reboot" into my WindowsXP system, which is what I have wanted to do for a couple years now. So now I can develop my web pages using Dreamweaver 8 while I am using linux so I think that I will be inclined to get more done because I wont have to stop everything and "reboot" to WinXP. So things are looking up as far as my web design because I am taking it "One step at a time". Below is a screenshot of Dreamweaver 8 on my Ubuntu linux desktop.
