Learning Web Standards

This is my first entry into my blog for class. I enjoy the process of marking up pages in simply HTML. It reminds me of how simple tech can be. If we stick to learning the basics, than everything becomes easier as we dive into more and more technologies.

What I Learned

1. The Rainbow Brakets is really helpful in keeping my markup organized.
2. The HTML:5 shortcut doesn't always work in VScode.
3. I still aergue with myself on the best way to structure my content.

My Favorite Resources

• MDN Docs
• W3Schools

My third lab!! This one is all about CSS. I have applied an external CSS file to style this page. It include all three types of selectors-HTML,ID and class.

This is an example of an ID selector. I styled in the external CSS file.

This paragragh has two examples of a class selector that I applied to two different words. Classes can be applied to multiple elements. In this cass I applied them to words using the span tag.

What I Learned

1. CSS is really fun!
2. There are a lot of online resources. I like the W3Schools CSS reference best.
3. I'm learning to love using HTML color codes.

I can't wait to see what I learn next!

My fourth lab can be seen here. Making a multiple page website was quite the expierence.

What I Learned

1. File managemenet matters!
2. Spaces in a filename are a PIA.
3. I need a root folder for every project.

Moving on to layouts.

Here I am using flexbox and breaking the normal flow! If I was a staudent my best design practices blog post would be here.

What I Learned

1. HTML structure that is logical and consistent makes a big different.
2. Layouts can be fun but they are also frustrating!
3. I still have a lot to learn!
