Well I have finally sat down to the task of HTML. I must admit I was a tad scared of this task as the last Web page I tried to complete went wrong in so so so many ways I gave up.
I found the task quite good and really not that scary thanks to the website Page Tutor.com
What a site. I think with tools like this anyone can become a web designer.
Here is what I managed to produce in roughly 30Min's:
I had a lot fun trying different things, some worked and others didn't. For instance I had a lot of trouble trying to blockquote but luckily enough my page really didn't require it so I opted to not use that form of style.
We are asked to note in our blog our thoughts about this task and did we feel as though we had achieved anything. I honestly believe I achieved a sense of satisfaction knowing that I could make a web page. One with a coloured background, italics and the use of different colours for fonts. We are also asked our thoughts on the difference between blogging and HTML and which one it is we prefer.
This is quite a tricky question. I really like both but for different reasons. If I needed to produce something quickly then blogging would be the go for sure. With a blog there is no real set up involved. You can simply opt to go with a template that is already made for and all you need to do is simply type away. Blogging has pretty much all the same features but because of the GUI appearance it is allot easier to add pictures and make changes to fonts etc.
With a HTML web page it is up to you and what code you wish to use that depends on the final outcome. There are however allot of pre-made web templates you can use but you take the chance of using a design that may not have been given permission by the designer themselves to be reproduced therefor becomes a sticky mess with plagiarism and copyright issues.
I somehow prefer HTML although at times can be extremely frustrating, especially if you forget a tag but in the end it is all your own work, and that to me brings a great satisfaction.
