no.

OMG.
my site fails.
everything works, aside from my music and slideshow.
i feel slightly better that this is happening to everyone else :/


i get why it's happening, it's because i changed the name of the root file, so my links are all retarded.. but since i'm such a quick thinker i changed the file name back.. BUT IT STILL DOESN'T WORK !

so i took it home, googled what i did, and there was the answer. because moving it accross would changed the name eg E:// to F://

^ problem.

so i moved it all to a CD, and changed all the links on that so when i hand it in to sir, everything will work !

...well i hope so. :)

A URL is an address.
An IP address is a unique address each seperate machine has. Each one is expressed as 'octets' in a 'dotted decimal number'. For example: 218.27.10.194 The four numbers in an IP address are called octets because they have a value between 0 and 255. The browser communicates with a name server to translate the URL into a IP address which it uses to connect to the server machine.
Upload speed is how quickly your computer sends stuff to the internt and download speed is how quickly the internet sends stuff to your computer.
The units used to measure download and upload speed id bits and bytes.
Different locations offer different speeds because of how many computers are using the same

1) Name two programmes used for file compression.
WinZip and Stuffit.

2)What name is given to the file compression method that looks for redundant patterns?
Lossless and Lossy Compression

2.5)Why can't music be compressed efficiently with this type of compression technique?
music has lots of unique information so it can't be compressed much with this system because it doesn't have many repeating patterns.

3) What method of compression is most suited to graphics and music files?
The Lossless is better because it lets you recreate the original file exactly.

4) Name compressed file formats for the following media:
music- mp3 (it's compressed to roughly one-tenth the original size while maintaining a good quality).
still graphics- PNG uses ZIP compression, JPEG always uses lossy compression, GIF uses lossless.
video- WMV allows large video files to be compressed while retaining the rich quality of the video.

i like the front.

1) What steps are recommended in planning your site?
Create a goal, just like in real life. Sketch out the structure of the site on paper beforehand, kinda like a thingy(oh darn, i forgot what it's called..i'll remember soon)

2) What is a web server?
A web server is a computer that runs special serving software.That software 'serves' HTML pages and associated files when requested by a client, such as a web browser. When you use your browser to visit a site, you typically make your request by entering a URL. When the server receives your request, it serves or downloads the page you need, like magic. well, the internet is magic, just saying :)

3) How do you put your website on a web server?
To put your site on a web server you publish it. Publishing generally means copying all of the files to a remote location on a server. In most cases the remote location is either an HTTP path or FTP path. The path you use depends on what technologies your server supports. If your web server is running Front Page Server Extensions or Share Point Services you would would publish you site to a HTTP location. For example, http://SabinesAwesomeServer/OhYesItIsSite. i'm so funny sometimes... :L

4) Front Page has 2 key functions- which would be website design and management. lovely :)

5) What is Front Page Metadata and which two folders contain these files?
Front Page metadata is information about your Front Page Website that makes managing the site possible. This data is used by Front Page to do all the great management features like creating & moving files, running reports and publishing. That's why you don't see all these files in Front Page because if you did see them they might get in the way of designing you site.
The _vti_cnf folder contains information about every file, such as which links are within the file and who modified the file and when. The _vti_pvt folder stores all the configuration inforamtion for the site, for example, which subsites are in the website and the permission configurations for the site.

6) There are 2 basic types of website that you can create in Front Page. What are they and how do they differ?

The 2 types are disk-based websites and server-based websites.
A disk-based website is a site you create on your local hard drive. After you design and work on your site you can later publish it to a remote location like a web server. Disk-based sites are most commonly used because they have a clear advantage: you can edit and test them on your hard drive before they go live.
A server-based website is a site that you create and work with directly on a web server. When you save your pages, the site is immediately updated. Some people refer to this as working with a website in real time.

ohh would you look at how productive i've been :)
