Got all the images hosted that I need and got them added into the code so I'm nearly finished now. However, stopped to finish another mini. Hopefully will be done by next class as I've tried a few different ways of getting this dynamic image going and think I've finally found the right way.

Mini 5

Consider this a follow-up to my previous mini on inserting images into code. This one however has to do with using custom images, whether created by you or someone else. This will be a slightly smaller one since it is as I said a follow up. So when it comes to using custom images the framework for the code is the same <img src = "">. However the part that I initially didn't know about is that to use an image in code you need to host it somewhere there are many websites for this however my preferred is tinypic as it gives you multiple links that can be used in forums, code, anything.

Danny assisted me in not only figuring out more complex aspects of the code, but also in getting the images set up for the resistor in Photoshop. Surprisingly enough setting up basic squares with a few varying colors can actually be fairly difficult.

Today I didn't get too much work done on the actual resistor done as I spent today working on MINI projects so I could get caught up to the grade book. Next class I'll continue working on the resistor with Daniel as we are pretty close to done, however the last step is by far the hardest we've been constantly researching how to setup the interaction but have yet to reach a definitive answer. Hopefully we'll be able to work it out pretty soon.

This Mini is going to be a bit of a step back to cover a simpler point that is still fairly important. This Mini is going to be on how to insert color into your website, a simple but unbelievably important step in web design. This can be done a few different ways. The first way would be to used the previously discussed <style> format in which you simply insert a style code and attach "Color: (insert color here);". Code such as this will edit the color of the specific item you insert it near. To edit the background of something you would simply replace "Color" with "Background-Color". We can actually use the exact same images from last time to illustrate this point.

Your other options are to either set up a separate document for all of your CSS code and attach that code to your HTML. Or you can simply insert CSS code into your actual HTML doc as seen below.

Style commands are a pretty common in HTML coding. They are effectively used to reduce the overall amount of CSS coding you have to do in the background. You insert a style code following a piece of code you want to edit to customize it with the same commands you would use to customize a piece of CSS code. As seen below
