Web site

I was stressed out all day today. Actually I've been stressed out about today since last night. I decided that I wasn't going to think about school work at all during break and I managed to do that quite well. But of course, as soon as I got back to campus I started worrying about getting everything done that I needed to have done by tomorrow. Mostly I was worried about my fiction story and my Web site. Tonight I went to the Mac lab in the SJ&C (department slang for the School of Journalism and Communication) at 6 p.m. and started slicing up my Photoshop design. I was having some trouble getting it right so I asked my brother (who was also working on his design in the Mac lab) for help. We eventually agreed to switch tasks. I said I'd make Tyler's form on his contact page if he'd slice my design. We switched computers and I had his form done pretty quickly. Then I went over to see how far he'd gotten. He was still trying to figure out slicing so I took over again and then had the TA help me with the slicing. That worked a whole lot better and finally I had my design in Dreamweaver and could start working on it. For this assignment we had to make up a Web site for SNL, Southern News Live, which is a joint project between two SJ&C classes. We had to make a home page, an about page and a contact page. I'm pretty happy with how my home page turned out, especially for pretty much starting from scratch tonight. The other two pages are alright, but nothing to expand upon. Anyway, so now that I've finished explaining that, here's a screenshot of my home page.
