This is number two.

So for my second website that I had to make, I was given the subject of copyright. This is a very broad subject, so I started to do some research on the subject and found out a lot of information. Here is the link to my site. Digital Copyright is an informational site to let people know and understand the laws of copyright.

The site first talks about the history of copyright. If you don't know the history of copyright and how it evolved, then you really would not understand the laws today. When congress decided that it was time to make some kind of law for copyright in 1909, they called upon people of interest and sat down and wrote a bill. This bill evolved from this and from there on ever time the bill was revised the same thing happen. People of interest were invited to sit down and talk about it. This idea is a good thought, bring people in that know what they are talking about. In a perfect world that would work, not with greedy money hungry people. Then the DMCA came along.

The DMCA is the current law that we are under today. The website talks about the current laws, the hows, whys, and whats, of copyright today. So if you are interested in copyright check it out and tell me what you think.

My First Website

So I created my first ever website for a class project on downtown Lakeland. Downtown Lakeland was my first pick for this project. After looking at the web for sometime I noticed that there was not a lot on the internet that talked about the different lifestyles that downtown Lakeland had to offer.

This was the first time that I have ever done anything in Adobe Dreamweaver, but after right the code first and understanding it, I was able to keep up with what was going on as I did things in the program. You have to look at it like you are making a puzzle. Everything is a box and you have to fit these boxes the right way in your layout. I found this very fun and interesting. Dreamweaver also offers so much more that I still have no idea about yet, but I can not wait to figure all of them out.

This website, out of all of my work that I have done since I have started school is the one thing I am most proud of. I took all of the pictures in the making of the site and wrote all of the code for it. I built this site from the ground up. So enjoy my site.
