2:1 BA(Hons) Degree in Web Design!

Yes! I got a 2:1 BA(Hons) Degree in Web Design. This is a huge achievment because this is the second best grade possible! I could have got a first if my final major project wasn't beta. I am very happy with my grade because all those sleepless nights were well worth it! Thank you to all the lecturers, family and friends who have helped me to get to where I am today.

Conducting Code

As promised from the blog entry titled Improving I said,
QUOTE
Ill post some screenshots of the problems that occurred recently, later.
This is referring to the problem I found when I viewed the site in Internet Explorer 7 that the content (blog entries) extended beyond this content container. I would have posted this info the day I fixed the problem but I didn't know how to highlight code or even add an expanding image on rollover with a blog entry.

I was encouraged to find out how I can achieve an image expand on rollover effect when I saw it at www.skaffers.com. That site uses AJAX but I am utilizing CSS, JS and PHP to achieve this effect! Every image is stored in the database along with the other blog fields (entry, title, timestamp ect..). This then creates a small and big image of the JPG uploaded. Right now all entries need an image otherwise a red x will show in Internet Explorer but not Firefox To get rid of the red I have inserted a 1 pixel image that you cant see in the entries that appear to now have an image in them If you want to see the 1px JPG then use Firefox's Web Developer View Image Information tool.

I fixed the IE7 problem by adding this little bit of CSS!
CODE
* html #content {
height: 100px }

Below is a screenshot of what the site used to look like in IE7 when the blog entries were going outside of the container. You can also see the first letter of each title is not level with the rest of the title, this problem has been fixed aswel (Rollover image for a bigger screenshot to load):

Missions

Ok I've managed to add my own faces to this blog form

Its a bit crazy right now with work.. I know what to do I just dont know how to do it..

I need to add more options to the blog form like bullet points, font size and code highlighting .

I also need to put the comments page in this front page design.

As you can see my site doesnt have many pages yet this is because I want to sort as much code and design issues out as possible on one page then start developing deeper.

I wonder how to show the amount of times an entry has been edited hm..

Comments are now pluralized.
