Readings

This weeks readings were on chapters 5 and 6. Chapter 5 gave me plenty of helpful information on marking up text and gives an insight to paragraphs, headings, long quotations, preformatted text, addresses, unordered lists, ordered lists, definition lists, line breaks, semantic inline elements, presentational inline elements, the div and the span generic elements. This chapter is very helpful and I will be looking back on it when I’m putting together my web page because it really helps out in how I want to present my text and what type of text I want it to be recognised as. Chapter 6 was all about adding links and gives an insight to the href attribute, linking to pages on the web, linking within your own site, linking within a directory, linking with an image and mailing links. Again a very useful chapter because throughout any website there will be links and they will always be a big part of web pages.
