New Techniques I've Learned in Online Journalism


In journalism we are learning to create html pages using html coding. As of now we are working on volcano websites and we are using a tutorial that gives step by step information on how to create it. We are also tweeting news leads on twitter, and are blogging about stories on this website. One valuable lesson I have learned while creating a webpage is that you must save your work properly or the material for your website will not load correctly. For example, when copying and pasting photos to your website, you must first save the images as a jpeg and each of the images under one folder titled "root folder." The same goes for adding videos and music; you must first save the files under the root folder. If you don't save your files under a root folder, your files will not only be scattered, but they won't appear on your website. Along with these lessons, I have also learned how to edit photos using Adobe Photoshop and I've learned how to create a website using Adobe Dreamweaver.
