Problem, Solved.

Using CSS has made alot of things very easy. Adding borders to images and creating backgrounds is very simple now that i have used CSS.
Time Consuming Process.

With the next website i created i was asked to make two pages like together. Then i was to take a random background and place it on both pages. Then i needed to take one of them out and replace it with a different image. Then i needed to change the font of text on one page, then the color on another. Doing this all was a very time intensive, even for just 2 pages. We were told that we could use a single style sheet to change all the pages at once. This is known as a CSS sheet (Cascadeing Style Sheet). This is extreamly helpful and reduces time and effort put into websites.

Second Site.



This time i learned how to place pictures from an online source or from a local file. I also learned how to embed videos. Links to 4 other pages gives the site a larger feel to it, instead of being confined to one page, the user can surf through multiple pages and the coder can sort information logicaly. I created an unordered list to house the links to the other pages. this creates a bullet hole type of list for ease of use and clarity.

The list items change from a blue colour to a yellow colour when clicked.
This is created using the <ul> <li></li> </ul> tags.
My First Website.


 Using HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) ive created my first website. Its a less than basic site but we all have to start somewhere. I used HTML's tags/selectors to create the bare bones of a website. The outcome looked like this:


You can see where the H1 is places. Each heading dexcreases in size as the tag number gets higher. Also shown is a link to another page and a P tag, otherwise known as a paragraph tag.
