I started making some actual progress with my website, developing a desktop image to use on my home page, and some icons that I was going to use as links to the other pages, such as employment history, and my links page.
When I tried to put the image into my website, I realised I couldn't layer images. I thought that this wouldn't be a problem, as I would set the screen image as the background. For some reason I couldn't get Google sites to do this. I checked the HTML tutorial, and got it to work in there, then tried it in notepad and saved it as a HTML document and it worked there, but for some reason when I put the same code into my Google site it wouldn't save the code. It was very strange. I checked on the help pages but couldn't find anything useful in there. I'm now considering abandoning Google Sites and hosting my website through something else but I'm not sure if I will.
I also had some strange problems with colours, some of the icon images i had created in Adobe Illustrator changed colour completely when I uploaded them to the site. I thought that this was because I had created them in CMYK but when I converted them to RGB nothing changed. I resolved this by hosting the images on Photobucket instead of uploading them directly from my computer. Since this worked I'm a bit confused about what the problem actually was, but its fixed so I'm not going to question it too much.
