This is my Virtual Notebook for the VU course, "Web Page Design For Beginners". My notebook will be used for practicing tags and taking notes from class. I've always been curious about webpages and I finally have some time to check it out. Thanks HTML team!
Things to remember:
-Use the tag "br" to make a new line.
-To see the source code of any web page, right
click and choose "source".
-To add a link,
see the coding for my blog below.
-To underline, use the tag "u"
-To center, use the tag "center"
-To add a header, use the tag "h1"
-To center a header, use "h1 align="center"
Troubleshooting:
"If View Source
doesn't work using IE, you may have too many
files in your Temporary Internet Files. Try
deleting these and see if that works. Other tips
if View Source doesn't work in Internet Explorer
from past HTML class. Make sure Notepad is the
program used for HTML editing - Check Tools,
Internet Options, Programs. (When using Windows
XP) if you make a shortcut to notepad on your
desktop, it severs the "View Source" command from
Notepad. To fix it simply rename your shortcut."

Thoughts for my webpage:
I was recently laid off due to a corporate
merger. I would like to create a website that I
can list on my resume to create an edge over
other candidates.
I want my website to reflect my personality,
which is outgoing and funny, but still maintain a
professional tone.
I want something that will grab someone's
attention, so they will remember me.
A website I like:
I really like www.realtravel.com
It's not so much the homepage, but if you look at
individual blogs, you can see maps of where they
went, as well as photos and narratives about
their journeys. I think the layout is very
pleasing. It's filled with information, but
remains uncluttered. For an example of a blog,
please see my recent trip (not completed, but you
can get the idea). Peggy's travel
