An HTML Reminder

Today in class we got an assignment to create a website. We were given a list of steps we could follow to build this simple webpage. Back in High School I took a class on HTML, so I figured this would be easy and I wouldn't need the instructions at all, of course I was wrong. I remembered the simple parts right away, like "html" and "i", but I couldn't remember a lot of the other tags. It took me about 5 minutes to create the page, but for whatever reason the heading was the same size text as most of the rest of the text, despite following the instructions. I remember back in my HTML class that we started by using notepad and typing out all the tags, then about half way through the semester my teacher told us that we should be using Dreamweaver to design our websites. I continued to type out the sites by hand because I was used to doing it that way and I felt that I could customize my websites better that way. This assignment served as a good reminder of how to work with HTML and of the fun times I had in that HTML design class. I'd love more assignments similar to this one.

It's good to review the basics. It is amazing to me though, how many choices, tags, development applications and content containers are used in creating web pages. If I had to build out a sophisticated web site today, I would hire someone to do it.
