MODULE 3 TASKS

HTML Tags.
For this task, we were asked to complete a tutorial on HTML. Being a real novice with HTML, I found this task enormously beneficial. Whilst I had a little knowledge, I learned vastly more by following this tutorial. In the past, I would search for a code for a particular function, eg disabling right-click on my homepage or my space page. Having found the code for that, I would simply copy and paste the code, not fully understanding what all the tags meant.
After following the tutorial, and writing the code myself in notepad, my understanding of the tags and how they worked, and what each tag related to, grew immensely. I absolutely loved doing this task as this is the area of employment I am striving for.
Comparing this to blogging, HTML wins hands down, there is no comparison for me. Although I designed the background images for this blog, all i had to do was add the link to the images into the pre-built functions provided here. Designing the images myself gave me a sense of achievment, yes, though nowhere near as much compared to designing your own site from scratch. From here, I have done some reading on CSS and Javascript, to further my knowledge.
Before I end this post, I would like to offer my thanks to Kate, Fiona and Vernon:
To Kate, for her invaluable help, her knowledge is vast and she doesn't find it too much trouble to offer ideas on how to add elements etc.
To Fiona, for helping me de-stress, halping me to realise that this was just a task, not an assignment. My blood pressure dropped back to normal after she reminded me of that fact.
To Vernon, for helping me upload my file to the presentation area, something I was becoming frustrated with. Turns out I had named my index html just that so when it uploaded it became index.html.html. Isn't it amazing how it is humans who detrmine how things work, not the computer ;)
