Well the stop and start problems are continuing, but the end is in sight. The MP4s continue to be a problem to play remotely, although they work perfectly when played from my local site. The original problem of not enough server space was solved when I asked Centennial's Help Desk to give me much more space - they did, and now my uploading space is 800 MB, not a puny 100 MB.
I'll finish up working on the related presentation material and links (Tumblr, Constant Contact eMail Marketing, the Delicious bookmark site and so on. Then, tomorrow - Thursday - I'll present what I have! Once we're back at school in mid-May we'll clear up all the problems and upload this puppy for good on my NetFirms space. Can't wait!

Not So Fast, Mister...
Well, I thought I was in the home stretch, but I now know that I am not. Chris, my tutor, has been extremely helpful and patient, but it's been trickier than I thought to create all the pages. Partly that's because I have so many pages and at least three levels of pages. (That's a lot of linking!) And partly because I have a video-heavy website and I've encountered real problems keeping track of my video files.
My two Flash instructors, Rick and Juan, have been helpful but each has slightly different ideas and methods (no surprise there) so it was one step forward, one step back for me. I then enlisted our teaching assistant, Steve Newberry, and he started to untangle the knot, as it were. We ran out of class time and I'll be getting together with him later next week to continue sorting out the video problem. In the meantime I'll get together again with Chris and we'll sort out all the basic pages and get them properly linked. The way should then be clear for Steve and I to insert the videos properly.
Keep your fingers crossed....

It's Tutor Time...
I've been getting help with Dreamweaver and my Seeger site from Chris S, a graphic design student here at Centennial. He's guided me every step of the way as I set up my home page, created navigation buttons and set up all my basic pages. We're now at the stage where we're going to begin populating the pages and sub-pages with content. Fortunately I have virtually of all the content already assembled, so with any luck, we'll be able to fill the pages quickly.
Last week in one of our Project 2 classes, we put our sites up on the Centennial College server, which will allow us to view, test and monitor our progress more easily.
I do want to add an eLearning element to many of the pages eventually, most likely during the classroom sessions during the Summer Semester, in May and June.
