Time management

One thing that my first class in web design has taught me is to be able to think and work quickly if there is a time issue. But most of the time one should use time management. There are three things that has helped me in controlling how long a project takes, they are: Take breaks to clear the mind if one is feeling overwhelmed or has brain block. Take time to learn techniques that you are having problems with so you can become more efficient at work. Don't worry be happy, Stress is your worst enemy.

One last thing I have learned in class I want people to know is that to become better is to practice and practice, and ask for help if needed.

HTML vs. CSS

HTML is the code for where you put the content shown in the web site. CSS is where all the invisible code is for the look of the web site. The tags are in the html that controls the visual hierarchy. These tags are h1,h2,h3,p,ul,ol,li.

Two other tags are used in the html code but are created in the css and they are div and class tags.
both the html and the css have to be within the same folder for the web site to be working. The css is connected into the html code in the heading section.
