CREATE A WEB PAGE

This week, we created a web page using the basics of HTML coding, here is what I developed:

I have several HTML templates that I use for my ebay auctions, so I had some knowledge of HTML coding and the meaning of some abbreviations. However, this activity has really impacted my understanding of the web in that it is not as difficult to navigate as I previously thought. I always try to keep in mind these words of wisdom someone told me when I purchased my first computer eighteen some years ago, "Tell the computer what you want it to do". Not the other way around. I found that this class has really helped in providing me the resources needed to use the web more efficiently.

I did not know that you could capture or "snip" an image to use inside of another web document. I have previous knowledge of inserting photos and saving them as a jpeg file if needed in some instances, but the "snipping tool" we used for this weeks research was new to me.

This activity really appealed to me as it was interesting, fun and personal. I also enjoyed the "wordle" activity for the very same reasons. Some of our previous weeks weren't as interesting but needed just the same as they definitely furthered my knowledge of web applications and resources to use so that I can "tell my computer what to do".
