This morning I got notice that I am a Certified Webmaster. Yay, me! I’m not sure what it signifies exactly. It definitely means that I completed courses in web architectures, XHTML, CSS, Photoshop and Dreamweaver, and that I designed a website that is compliant with W3C specifications and is accessible. As a bonus, the website I (re)designed is my own. Take a look at www.callibeth.com. Even though it was certified, I’m still not altogether happy with it — I’m continuing to work on converting all pixel measurements over to em measurements so that the website design won’t break when browsers choose to enlarge the type.
I do like my redesign of the 6 book swaps. They used to be rather ragtag and there were errors on the pages. Now it’s all consistent, and I like looking through all the books. See the books by starting here at www.callibeth.com/bookswaps.php.
Congratulations on your certification, Beth. What a wonderful way to integrate the design skills you manifest in calligraphy and bookmaking with your skills in technology.
P.S. I like what you’ve done with the book swap pages. One of the artists in Book Swap 5, Annie Cicale, is a friend and one of the first teachers I had in book arts.
Beth it looks wonderful. The site flows so nicely.
What do you think about doing a book swap after the first of the year? I have not done one in so long.
I would love to do a book swap! And now that my website is all organized it would be fun to put up the results of a 7th swap too.
I’m not sure what venue to post such a call in. I’m in the Calligraphy Exchange group, which mostly does envelopes and short quotes. Some people there might be interested.
Clara, thanks for the comments. I’ve always admired Annie Cicale’s work too.
