My First Web Page in HTML Reflections
This is the first web page that I have created using HTML code.
- In this assignment we were required to include basic information about ourselves in order to help the class get to know us better. We used HTML tags that were discussed in class as well as tags that we taught ourselves with the help of the W3Schools website. This assignment was assigned in order to give us a background in using HTML code.
- In this project I was able to experience and use new technology skills that I didn't even know existed. I was able to create paragraphs and lists using the p and li tags to form what my website would look like. With the style background tag I was able to put in a background color for my website. Another tag I used a lot was the style font tag which allowed me to change the font of all my texts. I also used this tag in the beginning of this list to change the font to Comic Sans. To add pictures I had to learn how to use a different tag, the src tag. This tag allowed me to insert pictures off the internet as well as change the size of the pictures with width and height.
- During this assignment I learned the value of patience. When using a new form of technology you need patience in order to be able to figure out how to make the tags work. I also learned problem solving which allowed me to figure out how to use tags even though I had never seen them before. I researched different tags and put them to practice with problem solving until they worked. Sometimes it took multiple tries before the tags would do what you wanted them to do or you would make an error when typing in the tag which required patience.
- I feel as though I used color and different fonts well in this project. My colors were readable but eye catching. I also made good use of the picture tag. My pictures were directly related to the project and added to the appearance of the website. I even gave extra information about myself opposed to only having what was required. When it comes to the information that my website contained I think I did a good job. Also I used new tags which we were not shown how to do so I feel as though I went above the expectations.
- To improve my assignment I could have used more tags. I was experimenting with the hyperlink tag but I could not get it to work so I eventually took it out. I feel I should have continued working with that tag in order to get it to work. Also, I saw how some students used tables and had multicolored backgrounds or highlights which I could have added to increase the number of different tags I used to make my project better. Another thing I would have done differently is instead of having a bunch of numbered lists I would have used more paragraph tags.
The website below is where I got most of my information on how to use tags.
