CSS BASICS : TEST YOURSELF

Hello there. Welcome back to this web development tutorial series.
We have learned a few concepts so far and before we continue, let's review them by doing a quick test.
At this point, you should have a html file, named my_site.html with the following code in it;

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title></title>


    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="my_site.css">
   
</head>
<body>
    <h2>NASA | JPL</h2>
    <h1>ON A MISSION</h1>
    <h4>PODCAST</h4>

    <p>A new podcast from NASA</p>

    <ul>
        <li>Arrival</li>
        <li>We Are the World</li>
        <li>Worlds of Wonder</li>
    </ul>

     <ol>
        <li>NASA is cool</li>
        <li>Coding comes second, arguably.</li>
        <li>What is third place?!</li>
    </ol>

    <table>
    <tr>    <th >Name</th>          <th >Title</th>         </tr>
    <tr>    <td >John Doe</td>    <td >Tutor</td>       </tr>
    <tr>    <td >Jane Doe</td>    <td >Student</td>    </tr>
    </table>

     <img src="images/apollo.jpg" width="450px" height="450px" >


     <p>Click <a href="https://relatableterms.blogspot.com/">me</a> to start learning code </p>


   
</body>
</html>

This html file should be linked to a my_site.css file.
Open my_site.css using Sublime Text (or whichever text editor you prefer) and delete any code in it. 
Type (or copy & paste) the following css code instead;

.reds{
    color: red;
}

.blues{
    color: blue;
}

#underlined{
    text-decoration: underline;
}

ul{
    list-style-type: square;
}

#roman{
  list-style-type: upper-roman;
}

td{
    border: 1px solid red;
}

.blueBordered{
    border : 2px solid blue;
}

#greenItalic{
    color: green;
    font-style: italic;
}


Great. Now here is the test / exercise. 
Looking at the css code (above, the one you just copied into your my_site.css file), modify the html code in my_site.html file so that you end up with a website that looks like the image below;



Again, without editing the css code given above, modify your my_site.html code to create a website that looks like the screenshot above.
Great! Have fun!

CSS BASICS : CLASS 107

Hello and welcome back to this series of tutorials for beginners in web development. So far we have a simple html page and a css file linked to it. We begin this tutorial by creating new html and css files, in the same folder as where my_site.html is located. We shall call them index.html and index.css respectively. Done? Great! Link the two files together , by opening up index.html in your text editor (e.g. Sublime Text) and typing the following code below the closing title tag  </title>  and before the closing head tag </head> :               <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="index.css"> Inside the body of your html (i.e after <body> and before </body>),  type the following html code :              <p> This is a paragraph </p>          ...

HTML BASICS : CLASS 109 part I

Hello and welcome back to this tutorial series for beginners in web development. This class introduces the html 'div' tag and form elements. Let's begin by learning about the html 'div' tag. " div " stands for division . It allows you to group and separate content into different sections . Consider the image below. The image above shows a common layout (way of arranging elements)  for many web pages. It consists of;  a top area called the header, where most sites place a logo and site name as well as navigation links (links to other parts of the website)  a bottom area called the footer, where most sites place contact information and social media links. a side bar, which can be on the right side or left side. Some sites have two side bars, one on each side. and a main content area, where the main content of the page is displayed. For example. This blog site has a header at the top. It contains the name of the site 'In Relatable Te...

HTML BASICS : CLASS 101

For this, you will need a browser and a text editor . If you have a laptop or desktop, then you probably already have a browser installed ( Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge if you are on Windows, Safari if you are on a mac ). However I recommend installing Chrome ( get it here ) or Firefox ( get it here ). By now, you probably know that a browser is simply a software used for browsing the internet. Another software you will need for this class, is a text editor. This allows you to write your code. I recommend using sublime text (get it here ). Great! Now your are ready to begin your "front end web development" (or simply, creating websites) journey. In your desktop (or anywhere you prefer saving your work) , create a folder myProjects . Inside this folder, create another folder and call it html. Open up sublime text and click ' file ' (top left), then click ' new file ' , then click ' file ' again and this time click 'sav...
