We are only a couple weeks in but I&#8217;ve really started to utilize and appreciate the importance of the HTML validator this week. This time, I really chased down every single possible mistake that the validator identified and the fixes I made immediately showed a huge difference in not only my code (of course), but the way that my page looked and its overall structure. I now feel much more confident as we step into the CSS styling phase of our HTML markup pages very soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only that, but fixing the mistakes have already taught me a lot about the tiny mistakes I tend to make often, like forgetting to include a closing tag on &lt;img&gt; tags after adding the file and alt text. Understanding how I can never accidentally put a &lt;p&gt; within a &lt;ul&gt; at the bottom in my &lt;footer&gt; section of the page is an obvious mistake that I now know to never make again. Not only that, but the detailed description of each error makes finding these mistakes easy to find and easy to fix (and, fun!). I also love that it tells you exactly what you did wrong and how and why it breaks the &#8216;rules&#8217;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part of it all? The rewarding feeling seeing this message at the end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"79\" src=\"https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-14-at-11.54.30-AM-1024x79.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1097\" srcset=\"https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-14-at-11.54.30-AM-1024x79.png 1024w, https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-14-at-11.54.30-AM-300x23.png 300w, https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-14-at-11.54.30-AM-768x59.png 768w, https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-14-at-11.54.30-AM-1200x93.png 1200w, https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-14-at-11.54.30-AM.png 1346w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you, Professor Mead for teaching us about this site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am aware that this idea is (essentially) a given and in some circumstances required for our assignments, but&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":62,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[178],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1096","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-aad-086-sp22"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/62"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1096"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1096\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1098,"href":"https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1096\/revisions\/1098"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/lj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
