One of the most challenging parts of this assignment was trying to find a site that was well organized without too much chaos going on. The screen capture add-on worked great. I imported the image into Fireworks to add notes, etc.
What I thought would be simple, ended up being more challenging than I thought. After studying the contents of the page, it was sometimes hard to know where certain elements resided - were they contained inside the header or content or footer, or were they stand-alone divs sandwiched between or laying on top of another div.
Like the video mentioned, there must be a number of different ways to accomplish the same thing.
One surprise: when I inserted the screen capture image onto a web page (inside the "container" with a set width, the container did not expand in height as I expected - instead it chopped off most of the image and only left a sliver at the top. When I specified a height (in pixels - the same as the image) to the container, it fit perfectly. Do you have to specify a height for images, but not for text?
