Greetings! This is the fourth assignment from the About.com HTML 101 course. If you read my homework for lesson three, maybe you found the error in its first paragraph: I forgot to change second to third!
At this point I'm supposed to know a little bit about formatting text, so you'll see paragraphs have been added in & there is some use of bold and italicized text. Although the underline tag was mentioned in th WebTech HTML 101 course, it doesn't seem to be included in the About.com course. Thus, you won't find any underlining on this page. The course did, however, address nesting of tags. So I can show you text that is both bold and italicized.
I'm still not supposed to know how to use a background image at this point, but I am able to show you that I can change the font face or size, and use colour in the background (note the neutral grey I chose, which is a browser safe colour that should display pretty much the same way no matter what kind of computer or OS you have, and no matter how colours display on your monitor) or in the text. I prefer to use hex codes (RGB - for red, green, blue values) to define colours instead of using names like “red” or “cyan”. Some browsers don't understand these names - besides, it's kind of hard to remember from the name if a colour is browser safe. With RGB codes, any colour that uses only a combination of 00, 33, 66, CC and FF will be browser safe - or so I've read somewhere on the net.
If you're doing the course yourself, watch lesson 4! There are a lot of extra links that supply important information not on the main lesson pages. Follow your links!
OK, off to get lesson 5! Watch for lists of various sorts on the next assignment...
Again, I'm not supposed to know how to use links. Please use your back key. Thank you for being so patient! I'm sure we'll get to links pretty soon :)
Brightest blessings,
Willow
