Building A Website

It's been a while since I built a website. The last one I built was thrown together for an assignment for my Multimedia module last year. I used Dreamweaver to build that. But now Networks and Operating Systems module needs me to build another website, well an online CV but I decided to build a slightly bigger and better site than needed to show off my skill, after all I'll be referring some employers to this site.
I started by designing the layout of the site in Photoshop. It's coming along nicely. Here's a preview of the banner:

 As you can see it will include the posts from this blog. I've used the slice tool to separate the layout into different images and saved them in my website folder.
Usually I would have used Adobe Dreamweaver to build the website but thanks to the generous people at Microsoft, who allowed me to download thousands of pounds worth of free software through the MSDN Academic Alliance, I've decided to use Expression Web to build the website. Expression Studio 4 was available to download but I used Web because it was pretty straight forward to become accustomed with.
I used Div tags (<div></div>) and CSS to build the website. The sites coming along nicely now but I'm only about half way through so I won't be providing the link in this post. The design and layout is probably the simplest part of this project. I find it hard to write about myself or to summarise my personality without waffling on and unintentionally making the content boring or coming across as cocky (I'm just confident). My CV is already wrote and the example code which I'm going to include in the site is already wrote so that's a matter of copy & pasting.
That's all for this post. I'll be back next week with the finished site and something else to talk about.
