Learning new skills

Whilst completing the project I learned many different new skills and improved on original skills also. I used Adobe Dreamweaver to complete my project which I feel was quite a tricky piece of software to get to grips with and it took a lot of time before I fully understood all the different aspects and how to change and modify things. When I first experienced Adobe Dreamweaver, my subject teacher gave us a set of instructions to use on the software just to play around with. This was a good starting point because nothing had to be to a good standard because we were simply playing around with the software. My issue with Adobe Dreamweaver was that it was hard to move the different components of the web pages around to where I wanted them. I tried to put them on to layers and move them but this was not specific enough and only moved the objects roughly to where I wanted them. After using my own initiative, I finally found out how to do this. I used the Adobe Dreamweaver guide and looked up the problem and figured out how to resolve it. I needed to change the layout of the page in the properties section. I changed the layout to free-form where the pages did not have a lot of structure and they were loose. This enabled me to move anything on the page to where I wanted it and it allowed me to be much more specific. To prevent this problem from occurring again I would need to make sure I had more experience with new software so any problems I encountered, I would be able to deal with.
