CSS is basically Cascading Style Sheets. It defines how html elements are displayed. There are 3 ways to use CSS and they are the Internal style sheet, Inline styles and external style sheet. I will be talking about external style sheet as it is our focus. Its styles normally saved in "external.css files". This made it able to change appearance and layout of multiple pages all at once. It is located in the same folder as the html file. Each page link to .css file using link tag which goes inside head section. The difference between a CSS example without styles and with styles is that the one without styles has no colour while the one with styles has colour. The colour is useful as it attracts the readers' attention and this will let the readers not feel so bored.

Reflection: Through this lesson, I have learnt how to beautify my website so as to attract more readers!

Html basically stands for Hypertext Markup Language. I have understood how to create web pages, link web pages and add images to the website. There is a lot of code in html and I will name some of them. "html.../html" indicate that the contents is HTML. The "head.../head" contains web pages information. The "body.../body" contains main content and structure. The saving of html should be in the html format(.html or .htm). There are basically 3 parts to the HTML tags. They are the start tag, content and end tag. Some do not have end tag as they have no content. Now I will introduce some of the tags. "p.../p" stands for the paragraph. "h1.../h1", "h2.../h2" etc to "h6.../h6 stands for the headings. "a href="...".../a" is when you want to put images. It has no closing tags. "hr" stands for horizontal rule/line and has no closing tag. "em" is used to emphasise text/italic. I think this lesson is interesting and also educational as I now know how to create my own website and also at the same time able to improve teamwork with my friends!

*Note: The inverted commas for the tag is because html and tag is not allowed.
*Note: The <> has not been included as there will be errors.
