Visual Arts Websites

Eliza and I have finished our websites for Kailey, Katie and Chiara.  I resized all four of Chiara's images and also 2 of Kailey's images.  Eliza resized all four of Katies and 2 of Kailey's as well we did this using microsoft office picture manager. On Kailey's website I linked the images to the pages and put them in to order and uploaded the larger images on the pages.  Eliza found a nice template that suited the website and she applied it also changing the font. On Katies website Eliza setup the template and placed the thumbnails while I made the other pages and applied the larger images.  Eliza and I worked together through out all of the websites.  We got Angel's website which we did with in the lesson of receiving it.
