Week 1: Project Management  

During this week I had to build the skeleton of this website to keep track of my progress. Last time I got involved with such a task was in the 90's and I don't even remeber the tool I used. So you could consider that I have never done such a task before.

First of all I thought about how I am going to layout this website and what sections should be included and after going through some random pages from previous students at Fab Academy 2013 I reached a layout that is sketched in the below image:

Since I decided on a simple layout I looked for a simple WISWIG Html editor that is open source as I thought that DreamWeaver is an over kill and no need of all features and complications included in such professional software. I chose Kompozer which I found to be pretty simple with minimum features but can deliver the job.

I used the following simple four part tutorial that I found by searching on YouTube!

Also for Creating the banners and images I used GIMP an open source image editing software.
