Checkpoint 1: HTML

 So our task today was to do the following:

1. Create a simple web page according to the following requirements.
(use Notepad on a PC or TextWrangler in a Mac)
Create a folder on your laptop called HTML Practice and inside it create the following html file
  • the page has a title called "Home Page"
  • there are 2 paragraphs on the page - the first paragraph must be the following text "In the begiing the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move. Douglas Adams"
  • The second paragraph must be something about Douglas Adams.
  • Place a heading before each paragraph - for paragraph 1 have the heading size 3  and for paragraph 2 heading should be size 5.
  • create a folder within your HTML Practice folder and call it "images".
  • Download from the internet the following image and place it in your images folder
  • add this image to your webpage before the two paragraphs.
  • Save your page as an html file and then view it in at least 2 different web browsers. 
Write an appropriate blog post about what you have learned during this exercise including appropriate screen shots.
Why do you think Google's image on the search page is what it is today?
You have one period to do this.











The creating folder was easy and to start it was easy. However when putting a image on that's when I was stuck. I was doing everything right by typing in <img... however the part where I got wrong was the next three letter instead of typing src I typed in scr which mass up the whole thing cause my image just won't show!!! Until the very end of the lesson when Mr. McCrae pointed out my mistake did everything finally click into place. So then my image tag was <img src="images/don't panic.jpg"> and then I can view it on the web browser which I was very happy.

Lesson learn today was to type in src not scr for images!!!!!!!
so this is my web that I created:
