Learning the meaning of HTML was the first thing that I learnt in the session today.
HTML is just Hyper Text making up the whole page.
We started to do some simple HTML using TextEdit.
The most important things to remember when creating HTML coding is to change the preferences to ignore rich HTML commands.
And to Format < Make Plain Text.
Then save as .HTML and click the button that says: use HTML.
The first page should be saved as 'Index.HTML'
Tags cover everything in the HTML coding, and the basic setup of a HTML page is:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>
In this session we practiced putting simple text in with a title and body. Not very adventurous but i'm sure that building up this practice of simple HTML will allow us to use more advanced HTML in the future.
When viewing the HTML we opened the browser, file, open file.
We also learned some more simple coding:
BOLD - <B>_______</B>
ITALICS - <I>_______</I>
HEADING - <H1>_______</H1>
PARAGRAPH - <P>
BREAK (NEXT LINE) - <BR>
We also did a quick test on HTML after this session, Pete said that anything above 4 is good! I got 12/20 which isn't too bad and hopefully will improve if I take it again in the future!
We showed our video this week in a viewing session on Thursday and got a very good reaction with lots of feedback about our ideas from the whole group. This improved our confidence on the project and made us want to produce more work!

First lesson in HTML
In the first session about HTML, we learned the basics about HTML and what else we would be learning in the next few weeks.
It was a fairly simple lecture, starting off with how we view other web pages HTML coding and creating our own simple page using a head and body.
We had to remember what we learned in our first computer session, the screen has 72dpi, RGB and JPEG, GIF and PNG are the file types.
During the session we learned the basic HTML involving , how to save it and load it in the browser.
I wrote down the important details for future reference and intend to keep a good record of the other sessions.
Did some filming for our video today, we went to the train station to take pictures and videos but ended up getting told to sign in... but we decided we had enough footage to create the video.

What do I know about HTML?
Well... nothing really!
I have never used HTML before.
I can see by the length and size of this project that it is going to be very long and painful. Although I can definitely see the benefits of knowing HTML especially now the future seems to be computer based. So I will stick it out and it will hopefully be a long life lesson of basic HTML.
