Learning log #9 - html task
So for my latest uni assignment, I decided to make a Pete Toms fan site.
While I agree that blogs, Flickr, Youtube, etc, have made it simpler for the average person to produce content on the Internet, you do not have to be a computer wizard in order to create a simple website writing html code. The problem is that most Internet users aren't that keen on learning html so pre-formatted tools were required for them.
Being relatively familiar with html, I read the http://www.pagetutor.com tutorial already knowing some of the more common tags shown there. I ended up searching online for some tags I was oblivious of for my own web site (like to create the grey block in the centre and justify my text inside of it).
Creating websites is something I'd like to delve into a bit more, this task has been a reminder that I have a lot to learn yet. I didn't necessarily feel a sense of achievement though.
It's difficult to compare blogging and html since they are so different. The former is pure content; the latter is the skeleton which will give you the structure to produce content.
