Warm-Up:

Look at your score for the HTML project in Google Classroom. If you did not earn 50/50, leave a comment on that project explaining why your score was so low. (DON'T say "I didn't follow directions." Say WHY you didn't.) (If you got a 50/50, leave a comment saying what you'd like to add to your page that you currently don't know how to do.)

5. Web Design
   1. This tutorial can help you if you try it.
   2. Mistakes were expected.
      1. Typos, no matter how many, were only one line on the rubric.
      2. Not including items asked for in the rubric cost a lot more points.
   3. MOST code needs an opening and a closing tag (also called a start tag and an end tag).
      1. Tags without a / are not closing tags. Paragraphs end with a </p>, not a <p>.
         1. <p>Paragraph 1</p>
         2. <p>Paragraph 2</p>
         3. <p>Paragraph 3</p>
         4. <p>This paragraph is missing a closing tag.
         5. <p><p>There is no reason to start a paragraph inside a paragraph.
   4. Heading tags like <h1>this</h1> and <h2>this</h2> are for titles and subtitles, not for everything.
      1. Heading tags do not need to be inside paragraph tags. They make their own.
   5. Use <b>bold</b> and <i>italic</i> tags FOR EMPHASIS, not for everything.
   6. Nesting is good. Staggering is bad.
      1. <p><b><i>Bold and italics</i></b></p>
      2. <p><b><i>Bold and italics</p></b></i>
   7. NEW: If you want text to go onto a new line without starting a new paragraph, use the line break tag.
      1. Here is a <br>line break. =
      2. Here is a
         line break.
      3. Should technically be written as <br />, since it's both a start and end tag.
   8. NEW-ish: The <b>bold</b> and <i>italic</i> tags are old standards.
      1. <strong>This is the current way to make text bold.</strong>
      2. <em>This is the current way to make text italic.</em>
      3. They are NOT interchangable. <i>cannot be closed with</em>.
      4. I mentioned this last week, but said to use <b> and <i> as they are easier to remember then starting out. As you get more comfortable with html, you should start using these instead.
