So after many tears and screaming at an unresponsive, ironically named, "responsive" web page, I flung my hands in the air, and yelled "YES!", signaling the near end of my trauma. In short, Duke's web page is complete and working in Firefox, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.
I am happy with the way it looks expect for a few minor issues which should be sorted before the dust settles on this post. I struggled tremendously with understanding the Javascript code and more often than not, felt as dumbed down as the illness I had at the beginning of term caused me to be. The side effects of my confusion may be evident in the order of the code( which I tried to make as coherent/sound as possible) but ultimately, the functions used to SAVE an image and to APPEND kind of got the better of me in the end.
My site name "Ngiyakuthanda" means "I love you" and I felt tied in with the theme of the web page. The use of a gallery showcasing various zulu love letters also reinforces the write-up. The color choices are eye-catching and bright; just as African people are, and those of you who saw my first web page when we began this course will know, I'm in love with the diversity of Africa and all things African.
I find fluid grid layout exciting and am hopeful about the possibilities it presents for our SRP project in terms of mobile devices and catering for them. I have learnt a great deal, with a huge amount of effort and thank Duke for being patient with us. I am pretty certain that responsive web design is something I am going to try and become expert in because it is so relevant for keeping up with current technological advancements.
Check out my site here and don't be afraid to comment either :)
