Ridding HTML, and CSS coming head-first again. This week, we were briefed on CSS, which was something like personalising webpages. There was quite a lot to know, comprising of the format in which it should be written, and all the codes for the colours and the design. It was something like HTML too, with all the opening and closing brackets. I took quitr a period of time to understand the "language" in which it had to be written in, but, of course, with some knowledge of HTML, it wasn't so hard after all. Mr Kent is thinking of giving us another project, to customise a webpage using CSS.
That's not all, as after four weeks of lessons on IS, our knowledge of computer skills had to be tested on. In other words, we're going to have a graded class test, and that is going to make this week a busy one. I had to revise on basically, what I'd posted, Web and New Media, Copyright, HTML and CSS. Revising all that isn't easy when you have only a week, but that may be different for a computer nerd though.
Now that's the difference. I'm not a computer nerd, so I'm off to my notes!

HTML webpages
This week, we were taught the HTML format in class, and I was really confused myself. What's <> supposed to mean? I was just staring at the screen throughout the class, following my teacher's instructions like a robot, and walking home with a gut feeling that this project wasn't going to be easy.
It was not until I had viewed the PPT slides myself and watched a video on youtube that I finally exclaimed:" Oh! That's why!" Well, working with only one partner and converting such a huge file wasn't easy. There was specific guidelines to adhere to, and it was really complicated. I had a bit of trouble trying to get the picture in the right place, showing the words in the right font and creting a hyperlink, but it was finally done following last-minute touch-ons, and submitted to my teacher.(Don't ask me how)
Even then, I had a bit of problem, as for a reason, the computer was really lagging, and I hadn't got the file name and format correct.
Lastly, we had to do some reflection on the project work, and I was the one who did it, but I was quite happy myself for being able to submit this piece of work, which got was completed in a very limited amount of time, starting only on Monday when I was supposed to submit it shortly three days later.
Well, at least I'm through with it now.
