With the CSS crash course that I had from the various online tutorials, and with the help of my group mate who have had more experience with Adobe Dreamweaver than me, we managed to made the changes that we want to the MDL website.
Firstly, the toolbar at the top was changed into a film strip. We did this because from what we know, one of the key things that the students go to the Media Development Laboratory was to borrow video making and editing equipment. A film strip became the core of the design with colour over the icons when the cursor hover overs it. The idea was thought up by Raemarie, my group mate and I thought it was a fantastic idea. I did the first version of the film strip using computer graphics, but we managed to find a stock image of the film strip that was free for all to used and used it.
Because the background was too bare, I found a stock image and blurred it and used it as a background for the website's frontpage.
It was not easy for 3 CNM students who have little experience with web design software to do up all the formating for a webpage like this. I attempted to create flash tutorials to replace the word ones that was found on the website but I wasnt able to create a good one that is comprehensive enough for students whom might be visiting the site.
Slightly before the deadline, we realise the display problem when we view the website on different browsers. It was a panic rush trying to sort the problem out and we eventually solved it using a function on Dreamweaver.
We made it in time. And I followed Dr Julian's instructions and made a new URL mirror for it.

The others might thought it was pretty lame. Well, I thought it was pretty clever.
