HTML TO A SIMPLE BLOG IN 3 QUICK STEPS


HTML is the language of the world wide web and for the last couple of weeks I've been having the   the honour of beginning my journey to learn about this huge and complex language.

I came to learn that HTML is something that i've stumbled upon a lot without even knowing, for instance in the online communities that I used when I was younger.  13 year old me, sat at those online communities creating HTML code to make a cool design on my profile at the 90's Swedish social community "Lunarstorm" and now here I am, in Dublin 13 years later doing it again and get to learn more and more for every lecture.

So, that is enough on my romantic story about my journey with HTML, lets look at some things that I've learned so far. With these three elements below, you can easily start a simple blog that contains text, pictures and videos that your users can read and look at.

1. THE VERY BASICS OF CREATING A WEBPAGE

The foundation of building a webpage contains of the structure of the document, headings and meta information as which language you will be writing your code in.




2.  PARAGRAPHS AND LISTS

After getting the structure and meta information in your document, you are going to want to add some content to your webpage. What will the user of your website read and look at when they enter it?

Paragraphs list and tables are traditionally within the body of the document   (see image above)


Lists can me structured both as unordered list, where the list will be structured with bullet points, or ordered lists where your list is numbered. (see image below)


























3. IMAGES 

Images and videos is a important element to create an webpage that is interesting to look at, a webpage with a lot of text can be very tiring to look at. This week I have learned how to get images and videos in to HTML. Down below is a example on how to put images in your HTML.


















I look forward to the next lecture!

The only food blog you will ever need (that will also save you a lot of money)

As a person who is born in the early 90's blogs was a big part of my life growing up. I have read blogs about fashion, politics and traveling during my years online and the blogs have always reflected the interests that I had during that particular time of my life.  For the last past years, as my vegetarian cooking interest has grown, I have been looking online for inspiration my growing food interest that also will fit my tight student budget.  That was why i was so happy when I found this Swedish blog that makes good quality food that is both healthy for your body and for the planet. And on top of that the owner, Hanna Olvenmark aims to make all of the food that she cooks and puts up on her blog at the small amount of one euro per portion.  Hanna Olvenmark is a legitimized nutritionist and writes on her blog that she "became so incredibly tired of the boring myth that all good food is expensive" and that she a lot of the time sees cooking for a small amou...

What makes a good website?

Technology is always testing my patience and the level of frustration that I feel while visiting a buggy, illogical or uninformative website that is supposed to help me with a problem is total.  There is certain things that me as a consumer, or a person looking for information expects to see while visiting certain web addresses and this really became clear to me when i the other day in class, heard about Jacob Nielsen and his 10 usability principles.  Reading about this made me think about a particular website that I often visit and that what of the principles i personally think they succeed with and how they are presented.  I visit the online auction website  https://www.bukowskis.com  a few times a week to look at antiques and design objects, and I thought it could be interesting to see where Bukowskis web function and design succeeds in reference to a few of Nielsens principles.  One of the principles that I personally think Bukowskis is...

My consumer journey

Ever since I got my first money to pick out a toy in at Toys R Us or since my parents gave me coins to go to the local shop to buy some candy, I have been a consumer one way or another. As a consumer I have gone through the stages of consuming for different reason and basing my choices on different kinds of emotions, values and experiences. The product that have had to consume has also been for many different reasons and has changed a lot over time. 6 years ago i moved out of my parents house to a bigger city and my consumer behavior changed drastically. I was now on my own person how was choosing amongst products after my own wants, needs, experience and values with that brand. Before moving out of my parents house all my money went to my hobbies, clothes and entertainment. And since I was making money working but still living at home, I saved money for my future apartment. I came to learn that it was a big change to go from just buying clothes and gears to paying for electrici...
