This is HTML code:

What is CSS?

CSS Syntax

This is an example of how to put CSS in the head of your html code (don't do it this semester) :


<style type="text/css">
p{ background-color:#FFF; padding: 2em; color:#999; width:500px; }
</style>

Instead, in the head of your html code, put a link to a separate .css file:

<link href="363.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

(***PUT COMPUTERS TO SLEEP***)


Remember you will be introducing yourself to the rest of the class this week.
Please have your HTML page uploaded to a server.
I will be asking you the following questions:
What are you studying? Why are you studying it? What else do you do for fun?
What experience do you have with Interactive Media, Flash, ActionScript, and/or web design?
What do you want to learn this semester?

Home Work :

This is what's due on Tuesday, 12 Feb. 2013 :

1) Create a separate .css file, and link the .html page from week 1 to your new css code.
- What you did last week - What you should have uploaded before next class - Here's my CSS

2) Be creative, use at least 1 other color aside from black, white, or gray.
Pick appropriate colors, change the size & style of your fonts.
Do not use the default link colors from now until the end of the semester.
