Lesson 5
1What are HTML style tags?
Style tags are tags which you give to text in order to styalise it, for example making text bold, or itallic, showing which size you want the text to be and so on.
2What are the different tags used for different styles of text?
*note: I am unable to include the brackets <> in the tag, as my blog takes it as a command
There are many tags which you can use to styalise text, the most common though are:
b tag for bold lettering
i tag for itallic
tt tag for typewriter text
3What steps did you use in entering styled text into your HTML document?
When wishing to styalise your text, you can go about finding examples of text that you like, find out the tag command for that text and then enter it before and after the text you wish to styalise.
4*Extra Credit: How can these styles be useful in creating a web page or lesson?
Web pages are usually built to pass on some sort of information, to teach you something or to sell something, people are far less likely to look at a web page if it is all in the same text, same colour and same size. The audience is more likely to take note of a point if it is written in a different sized text, or perhaps its bold, or itallic, or all three! It draws attention. Therefor, styalised text plays an important part in the creation of web pages for that reason.
Lesson 6: Lists
Lesson 7: Graphics
1What are the two graphic formats used for the World Wide Web?
GIF and JPEG
2How can a graphic file display on different computers?
The location of a graphic file is written in such a way that it can be understood by different types of computer, the same graphic with the same tags can be sent to either a mac or Windows browser, but it can still be read by both, the reason for this is that the HTML format indicates the location of the graphic file.
3What are some key points to consider when including graphics in web pages?
Images can sometimes be very large files, and the image may download in half a second on your computer, it could take an hour on a computer with a slower server than you, so you have to be thoughtful about the size of the images you are saving, and the audience you wish to reach.
