READING WEEK #8

W3schools HTML Tutorial:
Being that I am on a journey in learning more and more about Information Technology I find myself getting excited about my accomplishments even though they are far from perfect. It was quite a surprise when I opened this Tutorial because it is the answer to my problems and questions of the past few weeks. I have had problems sometimes posting to my blog. I would get an error with HTML notice. I could not figure out what the language was about. This tutorial is just what I needed. I will be spending more time in the future to learn what the different tags are and how to reconize their symbols. This increase in knowledge if giving me a more confident feeling in accomplishing my work.


HTML Cheatsheet
It was hard for me to find the Cheat sheet website. the URL was not correct. I tried various ways of finding this site. Finally I was successful. I see that I will really have to put more time in studying the webmonkey cheatsheet tutorial inorder for me to produce a website. This also will be something new for me.


Goans, D., Leach, G., & Vogel, T. M. (2006). Beyond HTML:
I could not find the Beyond HTML article at all. After talking to another student who was also having the same problem. We remembered having to find articles from one of our past assignments. We went to Google Scholar and there it was. This article as well as the others will help in my making my website. There is so much for me to learn.

Joyce,
I also have alot to learn. I ran through some of the html tutorial and was so surprised at what I accomplished. I found the cheatsheet and printed it out to use in the future. I also found a cheatsheet for CSS.
I thought an interesting feature of the beyond html article was the hiring of a web programmer to develop the system described in the article. My concern is the tendency to have people as "jack of all trades," but "masters of none."

Joyce, I also had a little difficulty understanding this weeks reading. I believe however, that once I began the next assignment I will become a little more familar.
