Photobucket Images.
I am working on an image for my index/homepage. It is my take on a hermit crab, the idea behind it is form follows function follows form ect...
Related to this subject during a Google seminar the State of Ajax: The Universe Is Expanding.
It talks alittle about the relationship between the Visual Design and the Interaction Design.
Worth a watch.
Looking into Dreamweaver and CSS.
On watching a youtube video about Creating CSS Layouts In Dreamweaver:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=I3Q_tof_ZY8
From a design perspective the video looks at nesting Ap Div/Div (layers.)
(Nick I think you mentioned in the lesson at one stage that when coding theses visually 'Dreamweaver' can find this difficult?)
I'm sorry to be so clueless, I am completely new to CSS and DreamWeaver we move through the topics very quickly. When looking to 'outside' sources for information matching the subject matter covered during class time, and 'outside' ways of deployment quite often don't always match.
We are trying to reach goals. In the spirit of 'Good Web Design' we forge on. It does seem to nag at the back of my mind the subject of (KISS) Keep It Simple Stupid. Which I think is key in 'Good' page designing in both form and functionality .
I was wondering if this relates at all to the 'Order of Processing' (08/10/2008)
When coding do I use (#) to represent id
(.) to represent class
You also refer to: (Style) which takes priority over the previous to processes.

Optimization.
A question about optimization. First of all this is a topic of great interest to me and a topic I'm continuously researching around. I was wondering if it was possible to post a blog giving what you feel the 'optimal' dimensions and file size on:
- Images
- Page Sizes
As I said it is a topic I am researching around so I am only looking for the numbers that come 'off the top of your head,' so I can structure my layouts inside of those constraints (thx.)
