Ok, so after much playing around with things, I finally figured out how to edit my menu line above to reflect what I wanted (sucks not knowing CSS and what not before you have to edit it). I also got my main page up and that is where I will start. Oh yah, you can click above on "main site" near the top and see where I'm at.
So today I learned about the following tags:
- doctype: which specifies what kind of document I'm making and let's the browser know how to read it.
- html: tells the browser this is an html document.
- head: the info for the page on how to render it in the browser and includes the title tag so when you look at the tab or page, you see up top what the name of the site is.
- body: where you put your content with paragraph and heading tags which break up strings of text into paragraphs and tell you that a line should be in bigger and bolder font than others respectively.
So how did you feel the first time you made a page? Did it come out the way you envisioned and were you happy with the look? Did you code it yourself or did you use an HTML editor or other program to make it (like Word, Dreamweaver, etc.)? Even though my new page is very basic, it feels good to me. If you are curious, I am doing a lot of my learning from htmldog.com and a book "HTML for the World Wide Web" by Elizabeth Castro. I also have on hand the "HTML, XHTML and CSS Bible" printed by Wiley Press and "The Complete Reference HTML, Third Edition" by Thomas A. Powell for backup reference material.
