For Module 3 we were asked to go to PageTutor.com and complete 26 lessons on the basics of html hand-coding & create a webpage whilst following the tutorial. To have a peek at my end result go to Nerida's Everything Is webpage
I used the lessons and just modified the outcomes by using some of my own photos and words. I found this website really easy to learn from and it was great to be able to have a quick refresher in the basics. I decided to just spend one night on this task and leave it at that-because as usual I'm lagging again :-(

This is a screen shot of part of my webpage...
I just completed Ned 11 last SP, in which we had to produce a complete and fully functional website in 12wks(I was a complete newbie) but happy to say I was very pleased with what I learnt and achieved in that time, and the fact that I managed to come out with a distinction. So I had all ready tried my hand at coding (I really enjoy it) can be very frustrating and challenging at times,but webpage design is the main reason I decided to get a degree in Internet Studies. A site I found very helpful when completing that unit was w3schools.com for html & for examples of CSS.

This is something new I learnt ~ that if you enclose a text picture such as the one above in <pre> </pre> tags it prevents the browsers from collapsing the picture into a big pile of golboldy gook.
Mother duties call- so I will attempt to return later to continue my reflections on html and post the results of the validation test of my webpage :)
