Reflection on what I have learnt

First off all keeping up with producing weekly blog posts was not as easy as I had expected. I got there in the end. Internet issues at home was possibly a factor.
I did see myself using this blog every day and as a visual diary for all of my WITT subjects. I'm surprised that I didn't keep up, it seemed like a really good idea and a good way to keep track of progress, develop a style, gain inspiration and put together nice blog.

Blogger.com is a nice, simple platform to use. I've enjoyed my time on here. I just wish I posted more. I would have loved to have filled in some more personal posts and developed a style, but perhaps that takes more time, and those posts may come in the future.
Even though this project has come to an end, I would still like to keep posting on here.
It is a new experience, and will take some time to get to the level of steady and professional production that I want. I feel like a blogger has to keep up to date with posts - something I will need to improve on.

I feel slightly stronger with my writing skills, it takes a lot of thought to write a post and put your words out there for the world.

I've enjoyed learning HTML, a huge frightening monster to me at the beginning, but from the first day of learning about it I discovered that it was very interesting and a great skill to have. Practise makes room for improvement and I'm feeling positive about learning more.

Simple Menu

Menus are a common form of navigation for a webpage. The menu shows the main links that are accessible from the website. It is simply a list of links.

CSS is helpful for creating a menu that is pleasing to the eye. In CSS, styles can be applied to basic HTML lists. Floats and margins can change the positioning of list items. Vertical and horizontal lists/menus are easily created in CSS with different selectors.

CSS

Controlling the presentation elements of HTML becomes a lot easier with the use of another coding software by the name of CSS - Cascading Style Sheets

HTML is used to structure the content. CSS is used for formatting/styling that structured content.

Instead of creating different style tags in HTML for every single element on every single page, CSS universally cascades styles across a whole HTML document or set of pages.

      

      With CSS you can:

• Change font color and style 
• Change dimensions of objects (<img> and <div>)
• Add margins and padding
• Position and float objects 
• Change the colours of objects, text, links etc 
• Control how links look and behave 
• Control how images look
• Make gradients, drop shadows 
• Make rounded corners and other basic special effects 
• Control the layout of many different pages from one single style sheet
• You have more precise control of the layout compared to HTML
