Homework 22/09/2011

1. HTML - Hypertext marked language. It is written in the form of HTML elements which include tags enclosed in angle brackets within the webpage.

2. The tags we need to know for the exam are
<strong> </strong> which would make the text bold
<em> </em> this would make the text italic
<head> </head>
<body> </body>
<h1> </h1> this determins the font size
<p> </p> this is for the start and end of a paragraph
<ol> </ol> this is for an ordered list
<ul> </ul> this is for an un ordered list
<li> </li> this is for a list item
<a href="http://www.facebook.com">click here</a> this is for a hyperlink (taking you to another website)

CSS means Cascading style sheets. To change the way HTML will look in the brouser you add
some style to it with CSS. For example, styling backgrounds, styling text, styling fonts and
styling lists.
For example 
<p style=“font-size:small; colour:purple" >Hello

  1. Excellent summary of HTML and a good start on CSS. you missed out the bit where we make maintaining the site easier by moving the style defintitions into the head or an external sheet - do use my PowerPoint notes on JoGLE to help remind you what we have covered when doing these posts - keep up the good work!
