Probably the most important thing I learned from this project is that a good web page "wizard" actually exists. I've never before come across one that I like -- Netscape Composer, Adobe PageMill, Microsoft FrontPage... they're all pretty bad in my HTML-biased opinion. However, Claris HomePage is great in my opinion, because it's completely based on HTML techniques -- it doesn't try to go farther than HTML can go, it doesn't try hard to disguise the HTML, and best of all for an HTML programmer, it's very easy to edit the code. For me, basically what it does is make the basic, formatting and text part of programming HTML a lot faster. It can be improved, as all things can, but... all things can.

Another little random thing which I FINALLY figured out is how to wrap text around a picture--I've been trying to figure that out for ages and it turns out to be something pretty un-logical: ALIGN=RIGHT or ALIGN=LEFT in the <IMG> tag. Anyway, that's very nice to know, mainly because it reduces my heavy reliance on invisible tables (which are the key to great web pages in my opinion).

Overall, even though I already make web pages on my own, it is nice to have a good excuse to work on a web page. Also, it's great to actually have some content to work with. I think I learned from this project that although I do enjoy writing reports, and researching a topic, I'd much rather work on a design for the report. That's mainly why I switched to the "Link King" version. I would do best working with a company that fed me articles to design a web page about. And that's perfectly legitimate, but I do need to write reports as well, at least while I'm in school.

I hope you like my Roman architecture site; I've had a good experience and I think the end result is attestation of that. (Do you know what 'attestation' means? I don't. All I know is that its a synonym of 'evidence' and sounds better.) :-)
