Assignment 1

Ahh, I finally finished part A of website creation:
(I've been having trouble ftp-ing to my server lately, until i realized that it wasn't due to connection difficulties, but that I'd permanently forgotten my password. This link will work, best viewed in Mozilla. In fact, it should only be viewed in Mozilla.)

Live link: http://karenau.net/portfolio

I decided that this would be a good opportunity to work on my personal webpage, something I've been meaning to do for awhile but never had the chance. I'm always working on somebody else's site in my spare time, and when I do get around to it, I can never decide what look I want to go for. This assignment will allow me to experiment with a few different styles and perhaps use all of them. For the next assignments, I am hoping to add more functionality, including javascript to change images within the page (currently I have three separate pages), being able to close the window and return to the "desktop view"/homepage, and system status and time/date on the "system toolbar". I also hope to incorporate a moving scroll for the thumbnail gallery.
On a side note: Originally, I didn't show the window as maximized, and everytime I switched back to viewing the page I would repeatedly trick myself into trying to close the window if it were live. I figured it would not be a very successful website if visitors only tried to close it.
