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!
