Working on a Dream

In one night, in less than hour, I've managed to do web tasks I've longed to accomplish. And how simple they were.

I've worked out how to embed a YouTube video on a Dreamweaver page, courtesy of this link: http://www.thesitewizard.com/faqs/youtube-video-dreamweaver.shtml

I've also learned how to embed a slideshow thanks to this site:

I'm a little embarrassed at how easy these tasks were and how I put off doing them. They've become easier because I finally installed Broadband yesterday and I've clearly benefited from the visual tutorials I can now access swiftly.

It also helps that I've got consistent levels of heating in my house which means it's a pleasure instead of a chore to work in the winter nights!

I'm beginning to make big progress on my journalism site which I'm keeping under wraps until it's really something.

I've also returned to InDesign in the last few weeks while at work I've learnt how to upload PDFs from a remote server.

At long last I sense I'm getting somewhere after a few years of floundering. I need to learn basic design skills across the board to achieve some semblance of peace in my mind. After being made redundant a few years ago I know I have to keep my skill levels up.

Message to self: enjoy and keep on keeping on.

Good luck with your ventures kind blogvisiting friend of mine.
