Mary T's Dreamweaver MX
Week Three, or
Joy of Tables
I love tables. Up until this week's lesson, coding a table seemed more difficult and I usually kept mine as simple, blocky things. I think that I will be more adventurous, with the way Dreamweaver MX can combine cells and rows, and I'm anxious to get started. Previously, when hand-coding, I found the "colspan" attribute to be a little vague, but it seems so to easy to use in Dreamweaver MX. I like the way you can slide the divider as you need to. I'm using a one-row, two-column table on this page, with a spacer gif to keep the text away from my border image. I really like how Dreamweaver merges the cells and rows, without me having to strain my brain. Well not too much, anyway.
here's my nested table A Collage of Images for Photoshop
This photo of "Mountain Pinks" was taken by a friend, in her garden. I used it with an artistic watercolor filter for the background of my composite image.
I liked this black and white photo that I found in a dance magazine, so I selected and separated the figure from the background. Can you believe this pose?
I am developing a collection of winged things at home, and my idea for this image called for some wings. I liked the ones that belonged to this moth that I found in a National Geographic magazine. Each dancer's wing is on a separate layer, with reduced opacity. The moths above them are each on separate layers with different blending modes.

If you click on the final image, you will be taken to a page showing the individual layers in this image.
This is my week three page but who knows, it's only Saturday and there may be more to come!
