02 Sep 2007 Dreamweaver CS3 Tutorial & 45 Days of Procrastination
 |  Category: Updates

As promised, I am going to update the blog, about my procrastination on updating the blog, after my 1st post on 16th of July.

After the first update, I was wondering on how I should update my home page.

To be exact, I need to design my homepage, but I don’t really know how.

In my humble opinion, I do think that Dreamweaver is one of the best tools out there, to be used for design purpose.

But then, the problem is, HOW and WHERE should I start from?

Without thinking twice, I have downloaded a trial version of Dreamweaver CS3, but I never know how to operate those complicated buttons all over the program.

As a result, I had done some extensive search on the internet, to search for some useful tutorials about Dreamweaver CS3.

I struck on the word ‘Youtube’, halfway during my search for the tutorial on the search engine.

Filled with excitement, I went through some of those Dreamweaver tutorials in Youtube, and found out that they were somewhat useful to me.

However, I didn’t really feel like those tutorials were enough to allow me to start designing my homepage in a more simplified way.

I came across to a few more useful tutorial site such as Totaltraining.com & Lynda.com.

Coincidently, one of my relative had also introduced me to the famous tutorial site – Lynda.com.

Not only that, he has even bought the tutorial DVD, titled as ‘Dreamweaver CS 3 Essential Training’, and he was so generous to lend me the DVD !

It was a ‘10.5 hour training’ tutorial DVD, and it took me about 2 weeks to digest all the movie clips.

This was due to my lack of knowledge on the internet world, there were so many terms that I didn’t understand, and it eventually took me about 2 weeks to finish off the whole tutorial DVD.

That was the first reason to delay me update for more than 1 month.

After the 2 weeks of intensive study on the tutorial DVD, I met with some personal problems + backed up and rearranged my old files (about 300GB) + had some problem on my own PC and eventually formatted the whole PC.

After 45 days, my blog is ready to go LIVE again, as shown in my 2nd update.

I guess that pretty well sum up my whole ‘procrastination’ situation, huh ?

Stay with me, and I will write an update about what had happened in between 11th of July and 16th of July, as 11th of July was my last note written, on my first blog post (dated on 16th of July).

It could be a useful guide to you, somewhere in my next update, keep an eye on my blog.
