Art 271 Summer 2025

Hello, my name is Blake Harrington. This is my assignment for chapters 1 through 4. In these chapters, I learned:

1. One thing I learned was how to implement introductory text into html code by putting the letter p in between left-angle and right-angle brackets. The p stands for paragraph, and a forward slash should be used after the right-angle bracket to close the tag.
2. Another things I learned was how to open a file into a specific web browser by left clicking on the file in my computer files and selecting "open with" to choose which browser I prefer to open it in. I initially though I needed to download Firefox to do this, as this was the browser used for the example in the book, but I realized I can use any browser I have downloaded onto my laptop.
3. Additionally, I learned that I can create lists using the elements ol, ul,and li in between brackets. The ol stands for ordered list, the ul stands for unordered list, and the li stands for list item. Ordered lists will display numbers for each item in the list starting with the number 1 and can be used to show the order in which actions should be performed, like when making a recipe. Unordered lists will display bullet points rather than numbers. Defintion lists, which show a word and their defition, can also be created using the element dl in between brackets. Putting dt in between brackets will display the defintion term, and putting dd in between brackets will show the words defintion indented beneath the definition term.

I found this coding assignment to be a lot easier than I expected, as I was initially intimidated by codes that I didn't understand. The book helped define which each part of html code means, and practicing writing out the examples listed helped me become a bit more comfortable and familiar with coding language.
