Week 1 - Rachael Campbell- 62035090

In our first class we learnt the basic tags for creating a web page:html,head,body each having a opening tag and a corresponding closing tab.


I also learnt soe terms and phrases associated with web design.Such as:

html - stands for hypertext mark up language .

This is the most popular language that is used on the web.When marking up a information for the Web, the important information you add indicates the structure of the document, and the markup indicates which part of the document is a heading, which parts are paragraphs,and where and how everything appears on the page. You are also to create lists n html by the use of bullets and or numbers. BAsed on what was said you can note that html is used for structure.



Tags and Elements- Inside each tag includes an element . Or better yet to put it in layman terms tags are the letters and numbers between the angle brackets <> whereas elements are tags and anything between the opening and closing tags.

(example:

Rachael

the element seen here would be Rachael


Attributes-are made up of two parts the name and the value attributes are used to say something about an element.The name
is the property in that you would like to set/style.( example the font it is in this way the font desired is selected i.e preferred type face and the value is what you want the value of the property to be; lets say the type face wanted is times New Roman the value of the face attribute is Times New Roman.

The rule when creating the value is that the attribute should be put in double quotation marks " ' , and is separated from the name by the equals sign.

We also learnt how to use C.S.S ( Cascading Style Sheets) as the name suggests is used for styling and is used o style html i.e by choosing background image and placement f that image, background colour, size and height of different sections etc.


The most important and basic thing I learnt is that for each opening tag you are to have a closing tag.
