Lesson 1, Chapter 2

So now we move on to chapter 2 in Creating a Web Site.  I have to say that I am really impressed with this text.  I have several family members who work in the computer science field, and I have always felt like they were speaking a foreign language when they “talked shop.”  But this book has made this information so easily understandable for me.  I was so proud of myself for writing a web page from scratch using HTML in Notepad and then actually having it render properly in my browser that I actually had to call my dad (one of the many computer geeks in the family) and tell him about it.  I did seem to run into problems once I started trying to add photos to my page; they did not display once I checked the browser.  Also, I tried several times to go to validome’s website to check out my webpage, but I was unsuccessful as my browser kept timing out.  So I need to go back and “experiment” more with adding images, and try finding another validator I can use.  I finished this chapter feeling much more comfortable about a class I had a lot of trepdation about signing up for.  Broken down into simple-to-understand steps, the process of creating web pages does not seem quite so daunting.
