I reviewed the HTML that we covered last time. Then I taught the basic structure of a web page (head and body tags) and added some new tags and attributes as well. The tags we added were the image (img) and anchor tags (a). Plus we hit it hard on attributes like src (source of image), href (horizontal reference in the anchor tag) and bgcolor, text, link and vlink in the body tag.

We started discussing HTML, its origins and uses. Then I started explaining tags also known as elements) and attributes. These are two vocabulary words you will need to know to pass this course.

An integral part of web design and marketing is the ability to convey a message. This is usually done by some form of storytelling. When you are trying to sell a product or promote an event, for example, you need to be able to write convincingly. Web pages has text as well as images. Today's exercise is called "What's YOUR Story?" This is where you write about an event or defining moment in your life that tells something about you. This is not an autobiography, we don't have time to hear about your whole life. We just want a story that tells something about you. Your story should be written in Microsoft Word, OpenOffice, or some other word processor. It should be at least one page single spaced and be emailed to rathke at teacher dot com by the beginning of class on Friday, January 22, 2010.
