Exploring HTML

     HTML stands for Hyper - Text  Markup Language. HTML is basically a computer language created to allow website creation. Later, anyone connected to the internet can view your website. HTML involves special codes and punctuation, it is relatively easy to learn.
     The reason HTML is used to create websites is that, a website can't be created using Word, it's a bit more complex than that. With HTML you can upload pictures, draw tables, write lists and lots of crazy things. It's also a way of communicating to the computer telling the system what to do.
     I think HTML, in my opinion, is one of the best options if you're making a digital portfolio. This is because you can control what you want to do: determine positions of content, color, font, the general look of the website, things you can't do on blogger. Also, when compared to a normal blog an HTML website looks more professional than an ordinary blog. It's also fun, i like love working with HTML.
     I like my very first website, I like the colors I used, the color combinations, the placement of the content, the general look of the two pages looked pretty good to me. I have my pictures and did basically what was required. I felt that I could improve the picture I used on my first page, I used a picture of a dolphin, i love dolphins but I still felt a picture of me would have been better. I wanted to change the colours of my hyperlinks but for some reason, i didn't. I feel that one thing that I would really like to work on next time is using multicolors, different fonts and different styles, like transitions. One thing that I thought I did well was color combinations. Overall, I think I did pretty good but  I still feel that there's always room for improvement.

  1. Good work Shreya,

    Now you have a better understanding on how to use HTML to create web pages. I know that it is not easy, but after some time you get used to it. As I am an HTML lover, I had to learn how to use it, since there wasn't any other option... I am really happy to see that you liked it!

    However, you will see how life changes when you can use a web editor, like Dreamweaver.

    We will see all websites in class.
