HTML Challenge-Reflections

When Mr Cheong gave us the HTML Challenge, I was worried that I would not be able to finish it. But in actual fact, it was actually quite simple. I also learned quite a few things as well, not only from watching the Jak-E video but from also the experience of creating the HTML webpage on the notepad as well.

My experience in doing the HTML Challenge (by doing the webpage):

I started off by creating the basic scripts like html,title,head and body. After that, I pasted the text document with the newspaper article onto it. After that, I became frustrated with the creation of the heading. It did not occur to me that when I put the header in between the title tags, it would cause the header to appear at the top of the window, not on the webpage itself as the title. I only realized that when I decided that I needed help and went to webnewmedia.com to watch the Jak-E video. While constantly pausing the video, editing my script and refreshing the webpage, I managed to complete the main part of the HTML Challenge. I also learned not to rush through as after listening to a bit of the video, I quickly edited my script but was puzzled when it still was not correct on the webpage. When I played the video, I realized that he was not finished and I still had to do something!

Unfortunately, the video did not tell me everything I had to do and I was left to figure out some for myself. For example, how to underline something, put words in italics and how to set the picture border. I decided to experiment and try out some guesses. Surprisingly, they were correct! I was suprised by the straight-forwardness of it all( underline- and , italics- and , border-border="size of border".

All in all, I am proud of myself for having completed that.(Along with Jordan, my partner of course! :) )
