Okay, I’ve spent way too much time trying to get my website up on Bravenet and I’m having zero success. I haven’t found the site to be at all helpful. Either I’m completely missing something or the site isn’t very intuitive. I’m going to investigate some other options before I give up.

Okay, I just learned something. If I click the link to my ePortfolio when I am not logged into my courses then all that appears is the text and nothing else. I’m going to have to try uploading it to one of the free hosting sites and see if that works. I’ll get back to you with the results.
Cheers,

Well, I thought I could kill 2 birds with 1 stone here by reflecting on my experience setting up my draft ePortfolio for ETEC 590. I spent the weekend drawing it up in Dreamweaver and found the experience to be sometimes frustrating. This is mainly because I have no knowledge of html. In the end after several hours of work I managed to upload my draft ePortfolio and found it functioned quite well.
In terms of labour intensive I found it very labour intensive. I finally had a friend drop by and in the space of an hour he saved me several hours of work by going into the code and making the necessary changes to make my webpage work. I’m pretty sure I understand what he did but I don’t know that I could replicate it without him there to help me. I found myself questioning my use of Dreamweaver as I wondered if it was beyond my scope but in the end I was satisfied with the draft ePortfolio. Here is a link to my ePortfolio draft:
I’ve removed the link to my eportfolio in ETEC 590 becasue every time I re-upload it to Vista the address changes.
Hopefully it works because it is within the Vista course shell. I can see that I still have a lot to learn about webpage creation but I guess it’s one of those things that you won’t learn unless you try it again and again.
Cheers,
Ken
