LEARNING HTML

I truly believe that if I were age 12 or under, I would understand everything there is to know about html. However, seeing as how I have reached a few years beyond 12---it is like GREEK to me!

The basics I get. I can bold, I can underline, I can put words in italics. Yep, I can even make the fonts

larger

smaller
and pick just about any color I want.

But that is about as far as it goes!
I spend hours trying to figure out how to insert pictures, learning how to “click here”, etc. There are tons of sites that offer help, but then, when it doesn’t work, I have to figure out if a comma, underscore, quotes---or whatever, is in the correct position.

The best sites are those that teach html to adults using very elementary language!!! Thank goodness for the online practice boards.

Some of the sites I have been using are listed below. They offer the basic information as well as "beyond the basics". I think what it all boils down to is practice, practice, practice! A little trial and error on the online practice boards. certainly helps!

www.html.net
www.w3schools.com

Yes, you will notice that a couple of these are for the "elementary" learning curve. I'm not proud---gotta start somewhere!

HOW WAS YOUR HOLIDAY WEEKEND?

Here's hoping that your long holiday weekend was a good one with family and friends. Here in Indiana, the weather totally cooperated and our time at the lake was absolutely grand! And speaking of grand, I got to see one of our grandbabies, as well!! That's always a joy!
