The intern that wouldn’t leave

Posted in Uncategorized, designing at 9:39 am by jivetalkinmama

Since I’ve finished school it’s time to look for a proper job. I keep showing up at my internship site to work, maybe they will take pity on me and hire me ) Actually I’m still working on the project I started while I was interning and have gotten permission to continue the project at their facility. I wanted to see the project to completion and I didn’t want to leave the client waiting for another intern to get the job finished.
I’m working on understanding the inner workings of Wordpress… it’s a complicated beast, to say the least. Anyone in cyberspace understand Wordpress?
I need an uninterrupted day to sit down and dissect the code.

What else?? Working on my resume, and logo, and my freelance website…. I’m giving myself the rest of August to get it all worked out so that when the kids head back to school I can focus my energies on getting a job, or freelance jobs, or both.

Found a great website that has a tutorial on how to take a photoshop mock-up and turn it into a css/html website. It’s a really great, easy to follow, plain english tutorial. I am going to work on making my freelance/business site with this tutorial… stay tuned internet.

That’s a good plan! That shows them that you’re a team player and that you have good work ethics

I just redesigned my work site over the weekend but I’m going to take a look at that css tutorial since I’m still using tables….I know, old school but hey it works!

Hey Lyn! I’m hoping to make a good impression, and I’m really hoping learn more there. As for using tables, I love them… and they work. My instructor swears by them and urged us to continue using them. Sometimes I get carried away with nesting tables. But learning how to do things all in css will be helpful if I get a job in for a real company. I think freelance lends to a bit more flexibility with the behind the scenes workings but I think larger companies are trying to move toward web standards and css.

It definitely makes it easier to update the look of a site with lots of pages using CSS. I use it primarily for formatting but haven’t delved into the layout part of CSS yet. I’m glad I’m not the only one still using tables!

Definitely freelancing gives you the flexibility to do whatever the hell you want as long as it looks good to the client
