Notes:
Instructions on how to use the "Actions" window in Photoshop, to resize your images:
1) Once Photoshop is open, and you have images (saved in a single directory) to work with, open the "Actions" window.
2) Open an image, create a new "Action" (just like a new layer in the layers window), name your actions, and start recording.
3) All images should have a resolution of 72 pixels per in. I'd recommend keeping your full size images under 1000 pixels, approximately 400 - 700px; while thumbnail images should be 200px or less (roughly 100 - 150px).
4) If you record these actions, resize, desaturate, etc… Then, using Photoshop, you can choose FILE > AUTOMATE > BATCH. The "Batch" window allows you to add actions to multiple files in a single folder. Be careful, there's no way to go back (no "command Z"), so you might want to back up your own work!

More CSS (continued from week #3)
Center divs using CSS:

****changing the background with CSS
....... CSS3:
html{
height:100%;
overflow-y: scroll;
background: url(images/bg.gif) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
Google fonts
why not use "
daFont.com" ?
ID vs. Classes
* htmldog.com
( review : reading materials )
* CSS styles can be applied to general page elements, CSS Classes, and specific items:
img { border: solid #000 10px; }
this applies to every image tag in the HTML document
.classy { color: red; }
this applies to a CSS class called classy.
<span class="classy" > Example of classy red text </span>
#about { background-color: #ccc; }
This rule applies to just the specific element that has an ID value of about:
<div id="about"> About stuff goes here </div>
Example of good CSS positioning
Here's the CSS code
by Larry Ullman
One more example...
HTML div tags:
<div id="title"> Week 3 </div>
<div id="other"> most of stuff </div>
<div id="scroller">--scrolling div section-----------</div>
CSS:
#title{
background-color:#000;
color:#FFF;
top:0px;
height:50px;
left:0px;
width:100%;
}
#other{
top:70px;
background-color:#FFF;
color:#999;
width:500px;
}
#scroller{
