PSA: New To HTML?

If you're curious as to what the hell a tag actually is or just can't remember exactly which tag does this, this,
this
or this, I'd highly recommend Webmonkey's intro to HTML section. It's really basic, will help you get the idea of what basic HTML is, and I still use their cheat sheet on a regular basis. Definitely a nice, easy resource.

Also, don't forget the "View Source" option available in the "View" tab of most browsers. If you're curious how to replicate something you see on someone else's site, this is a great way to look at the code and see what they did (though you have to wade through a lot of wildness to find it). I'm certainly planning on stealing the list of classmate links from Emi Ireland's blog when she has it all complete so I don't have to hand code each of them...

  • I posted a link to this entry in my new Ask Emi blog for tech issues that are not really part of the course but may be of interest to participants. Thanks for joining the Blogger group. Your new blog looks great, of course.

  • I would also suggest http://webdesign.about.com for some good walk throughs and other info on code and web design. It's a good resource.

    P.S. Your posts are great Mike D!
