We went over quite a bit of material during class and put up what might me your first site. Good work. Don’t forget to email a link to me.

Now, grab your copy of Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML and get going on chapters 1-3. Pay close attention to the section on file paths, this is important and a solid understanding of the subject will make you life much easier when it comes time to create rich websites with multiple pages, CSS, images, sound, etc.

Posting Code

When posting code on this blog you need to do two things:
Once you have registered go to the Users page and scroll down to “personal options”. Make sure “Use the visual rich editor when writing” is not checked and uncheck if it is. You will now be able to put html in your post so long as you enclose the code within the following tags.

<pre>
<code>
Insert tags, etc here and they will show up. Outside of the tags they will not.
</code>
</pre>

You can then post your code and it will look like so:

[[code]]czoxMDI6XCINCjxwPmEgcGFyYWdyYXBoPC9wPg0KPHA+YSBwYXJhZ3JhcGggd2l0aCBhIDxhIGhyZWY9XCJ1bmRlcnN0YW5kaW5nbmV3e1smKiZdfW1lZGlhLmNvbS93ZWJwcm8vXCI+bGluazwvYT48L3A+DQpcIjt7WyYqJl19[[/code]]
