New To Grid!

For this week’s reflecting on what we have been learning in class in HTML/ CSS Dreamweaver is how to make Grid’s in Dreamweaver. In doing that Grid is for two-dimensional layouts, meant to work with flex box, and when using flex box it uses heavily on “flex-wrap:wrap;” code onto Dreamweaver consider using grid instead wrap. Grid-gap helps you keep space between grid items. Grid-template-columns can take different units of measure.

Here is a video I found that’s been a reference now on understanding CSS grid and flex box in which I have been having trouble understanding.

Let’s Play Tag

HTML will come easy once you learn the rules of the game.

Tags are elements that help you tell your website what you want it to do. You use these tags as building blocks to create your code. It’s best to start off by explaining the basic tags so that you can understand how they are used.

<html> … </html> — The root element. …
<head> … </head> — The document “head.” It is instructions for the website that won’t be shown on the website.
<title> … </title> — The title of your page.
<body> … </body> — The page’s content that will be visible to everyone.
<h1> … </h1> — A section heading. You can also do subsection headings with h2, h3, and so on …
<p> … </p> — A paragraph of text.
<a> … </a> — A link. It can link to another page of your site, another place on your page, or an outside source. Totally up to you.
<img> — An image.
<footer> The bottom section of your page

There are plenty of other tags that can help you customize your site. These basic ones will help make your code effective and organized. Don’t worry about how your HTML looks at first. HTML is the structure of the site. You can customize the visuals afterwards using CSS.

Congrats! You’ve just learned the rules of tag. Now you can get started on your site.

A Return to Some HTML Basics

Diving back into HTML after a break proves to sometimes be challenging, with forgotten information or improperly used tags. However, revisiting some of the key basic information has helped me tremendously and it proves that it’s always a smart idea to revisit the basics.

Over the past weeks, I’ve learned a lot about HTML tags, the most important is that there are a lot of tags and each tag has a specific function. I’ll share with you some unusual tags.

What I did over Summer to prepare for this AAD86 class

A curious email dropped into my inbox “How I learned to code in six months,” by Meaghan Jones. I read it and then joined a program called One Month. One Month HTML is a four-week course that intends to show how to build your first website, learning HTML, CSS, FTP, SEO, Responsive Web Design, Blogs and other things. This isn’t a pitch for them. They dropped me into a course on Ruby. Really?! I am a fledgling, but I thought, let’s try it.
