8th Blog Post

This week we continued with CSS and we learnt about a few designing issues when doing a webpage.
Firstly,we learnt that some fonts are lost in some background colors so it is wise that you choose a readable font (most sans-serif are good choices for eg Arial, Helvetica, Geneva and Verdana etc).  Next, we learnt that not only can you attach pictures to your web page, but you can also edit them for eg.  img {margin-right:8px; border-style:solid; border-width:1px; border-color:
#000000;}.
In addition, we learnt that depending on what type ofstyle you want for your layout you can achieve that (as in in terms of column layout). For eg, if you want a 2 column layout or 3 etc all you have to do is float the info you would want to the left for eg: float:left; , and info that you would want to the right for eg:float:right; etc.
Finally, we learnt that menus must be distinct from the main part of the page because most times that's where the viewer looks first.


This can be done by using bold, a different color, or underlined text for links within the body of a page and this will help users scan and register the navigation items more easily.
