Why Create A Site....
Originally, I was taking a course through the Minnesota School of Business on HTML. As part of the course we had to create a 5-page Web site. So, I chose to work on one related to Rubber Stamping.
Now, I am working on adding additional content.
Contents:
- Home page - My main introduction page
- Blog - A way for me to provide commentary on my site -- Like new things I have found on the Internet, projects I might want to make, etc.
- Examples - Using an alphabetical listing of Stampin' Up! stamp sets as a starting point -- Clicking on a set goes to a visual index of examples I have made. Clicking on an image takes you to a page showing what is needed to make it.
- Projects - Contains projects I have made, like a Jr Legal Pad holder and Post-it Note holders. There are links to instructions on how to make the project -- Whether mine, or ones someone else has created.
- Templates - Contains templates I have designed. May also have links to other templates I have found useful.
- Tools - Contains tools I have created to help with stamping projects, like a cutting calculator and a layer diagram-er. I also provide links to tools on other sites that I have found extremely useful.
- About - The page you are currently seeing
- Site Map - Direct links to site content
My Domain Name....
I am not real creative when it comes to selecting names. I wanted something unique, but every name I came up with was all ready taken. So, I started looking at suffix definitions. At YourDictionary.com I found the following definition for -istic
of or relating to an action, practice, doctrine, quality, etc., or to a person involved in or with it realistic, artistic
Since this is going to be basically a creative/artistic site, I thought this suffix sounded like a good fit. So, I combined it with my first name to get Marianistic.
Validation....
One of the requirements of the class is to follow the standards. The standards we are supposed to use are XHTML Strict and CSS. In order to make sure my pages follow these standards, I am using the W3C Markup Validation Service to validate my XHTML and CSS code. When no errors are found by the validation service, you can place the icon(s) below on any page that passes.
